5 out of 5 stars Exquisite! .......2007-01-28

I, too, am a chamber musician. I first purchased this because I wanted to hear others' interpretations of these songs, having read through them once. After I first listened to this CD I sat there simply stunned by the musicianship, the technical brilliance and the heart and soul these musicians gave to this gorgeous music. If I had to give up all CD's but one, this would be the one I kept. As a result I have also been curious to know more about Mr. Loeffler, and purchased Ms. Knight's biography. This CD clearly opened a door and I'm grateful to those involved. *I'm glad one of the sellers has a reasonable price attached.

4 out of 5 stars Too bad they have been forgotten!.......2004-09-30

As a violist with friends who are singers, I am always looking for new repertoire. I was delighted to find these songs by Loeffler!The recording is fantastic- playful and dramatic as the songs call for, with a first-rate ensemble. The interplay between all the members of the group, their musicality, and technique really made me love this music and search for the scores.
