Thrilling voice--A lift to the spirits!

Julia Schechtman Pabst brings fresh understanding and sensitive musicality to each of the sacred songs on this impeccable album. She embraces an impressive range of styles, yet all the selections are unified by the pure, thrilling beauty of her voice and her interpretive approach, which is, at once, deeply meditative and joyous. This undercurrent of joy, the “simple gift” of faith, frees Ms. Pabst to express praise, thanksgiving, repentance, and humble, but sure reliance on the Divine, with a conscious clarity that guides her voice and pierces the listener’s heart. I was tremendously moved by her singing of “Psalm 23”—a familiar scripture, to be sure, yet she delivered it fresh and revivified, and I could experience its meaning of true comfort again. She made each song so welcoming, inviting us to feel its particular sound texture and quality of emotion. I should mention that the piano accompaniment, performed by noted composer Saul Schechtman, and including some of his own compositions and arrangements, is subtle and wonderful, providing the perfect rejoinders to Ms. Pabst’s singing. This is an album that you will find utterly companionable, so keep it handy. It will lift sorrowful spirits and point the way to joy and peace.

A CD to lift your spirits!

A singer of European opera houses - great sincerity with a lovely and very individual voice quality; plus superb piano -- sensitive and stylistically flawless. The artists are expressive and yet self-effacing. Intimate, up-close acoustics. Thoughtful, balanced variety of songs, all buoyed by an undercurrent of joy. An absolutely thrilling rendition of `The Holy City' should not be missed. The Malotte 'Beatitudes' plus three melodic Schechtman pieces are highlights of the album, though the clips here hardly do justice to them. This is definitely not background music, it's a profound experience. CDBaby description says, "Songs of faith...Classical voice, warm heart, intimate atmosphere of just singer and piano. But the effect of hearing the entire album is astonishing uplift." Highly recommended.
