“Mark Abel is a California-based composer with an already impressive body of vocal work … . With The Palm Trees Are Restless, Abel has set the haunting and very sensual lyrics of Los Angeles poet Kate Gale to great effect. Premiered by Grammy-award winning soprano Hila Plitmann, Palm Trees is an excellent choice for a soprano voice able to negotiate the demanding tessitura, text delivery and dramatic arc of these five songs.” —Kathleen Roland-Silverstein, The Journal of Singing
