from the article "New chamber music group shows heart, nerve in Boca debut" (November 24, 2009)
"That was followed by another contemporary American piece, for nothing lesse than thee, a cycle of three songs set by Zachary Wadsworth to texts by John Donne. Like the Blessinger, this is a highly professional composition, imbued with a kind of shadowy elegance that reflected the uncertainty of the poems. ...
Accompanied by [Berginald] Rash and pianist Nastasa Stojanovska, Toro gave a sober reading of this well-crafted work, with Rash providing delicate support in the unison passages of the first song, "The Legacie". A fast, sharply accented four-note motif dominated the second song, "The Sunne Rising", and that music contrasted well with the declamatory passages of the tenor. The final song, "The Dreame", began and ended with a decadent reminiscence in the piano of Schumann's Im wunderschönen Monat Mai, which Toro and Stojanovska used to propel themselves with only the slightest pause from Wadsworth into the actual Schumann song."
