Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, CD Review >>

American singer Lily Storm’s keening, haunting voice and this spare, spacious music give these eastern European folk songs a striking, aching beauty that is ancient, yet undeniably modern. These songs — a fragment of a Ukrainian lullaby, laments from Russia and Bulgaria, a tender ode to the sun from the Czech Republic and a lively song from Romania — make this a Dream come true. 

Storm, who has sung with the gifted group Kitka, makes an indelible impression as a soloist. The almost unbearable loveliness that pervades this album will appeal to those who appreciate Trio Mediaeval’s Folk Songs and Kitka.
