Steve Sieck: Temple of Soul

A brilliant reminder that true artistry is still alive and thriving.

We could luxuriate in the rich warm resonance of LuPone’s voice, which was astounding in both her trademark power belt and her fine head voice.

The lineup of superlative talent who brought these songs to life.

Edwards’ charm is undeniable.

Gaines’ good humor and fine acting skills were on full display...his big, resonant voice barely required a microphone to reach the back of the room.

A beautifully calibrated performance.

She was vulnerable and resilient, homespun and polished, coltish and wise, grounded and spiritual, and always authentic.

Marya Zimmet was warm, personable, and authentic.

Her voice was strong and powerful, and it can direct any emotion to the most vulnerable part of your soul.

This was a proper salute for a too-little-celebrated composer.
