Rafael de Acha reviews the new CD version of Christopher Anderson-Bazzoli’s Continent’s End recording:
“Listening to Christopher Anderson-Bazzoli’s CONTINENT’S END I was struck by how both its music and its interpreters, the fine mezzo-soprano Buffy Baggott and her equally accomplished partner, pianist Kevin Korth perfectly embrace the text of the nine poems of Robinson Jeffers in the cycle. From the opening Granite and Cypress to the closing Evening Ebb, Bazzoli’s music perfectly embodies with its unpredictable harmonic twists and turns and its multi-tonality Jeffers’ hyper-masculine, pantheistic, often erotic poetry. … Buffy Baggott yielded great results: her voice supple, strong at both ends of her wide range, generous in the middle register, and impressively powerful in the climactic moments of the music.”
