Zeugner, Worcester Telegram & Gazette News, "Worcester Chorus Overcomes Obstacles," November 6, 2006 (Full Review)
- Still, the selections seemed apt for the
times, especially with the inclusion of Carlyle Sharpe's impressive Proud
Music of the Storm, a moving, inventive score using the words of
Walt Whitman for its text. Sharpe, a classmate of Wachner's at
Boston University, was asked by his old friend to write a piece to
celebrate the Singers' 30th anniversary.
At one point Whitman's verse refers to the "wounded
groaning in agony . . . blackened ruins, the embers of cities."
Add to that biting harmonies and some wonderful tunes, and you have
a fine addition to the choral repertoire.
Channing Gray, The Providence
Journal, November 5, 2001 (Full Review)
- Before I leave this recording I must
mention to those of you on the look out for music for brass and
organ, that you should listen to Carlyle Sharpe’s Confitemini
Domino. It needs very good brass players and a good organist,
but it’s a great piece and would well reward the effort needed to do
it justice. On this performance, the players certainly sell the
piece. I recommend this especially and the whole disc for that
matter.
Peter Beaven, "Bravo
Memphis!" Review Section - CDs Choral, Choir & Organ,
London, England, November/December, 1998
In Every Corner Sing - 20th Century Sacred Masterworks, Pro
Organo CD 7034
- The second half of the concert opened with
an undated but recent one-movement work by Carlyle Sharpe of Boston,
which showed him to be a composer of considerable promise.
Particularly notable are the skilled, creative ways he was able to
marshal the large orchestral forces of which he made use.
Titled "Native Moments," this fast-changing piece
opens softly and builds to a surprisingly powerful climax. It has
definite elements of impressionism, but other influences and styles
commingle as well.
Kyle MacMillan, Omaha
World Herald, April 18, 1998
- Carlyle Sharpe’s Cello Sonata was perhaps
old-fashioned in that it thought big, was expressively and
idiomatically written for the two instruments, and was given to
letting loose with the physicality and the Schwarmerei when it felt
like it, but from the excellent Mark Simcox (cello) and Sandra
Hebert (piano) it was urgent news, and you did want to hear what it
had to say.
Richard Buell, The
