Critical response: In Classical New Jersey, October 4, 2000 by Dennis Hyams, composer and critic. "...Stefan Young has now made a major new contribution to the literature of modern song." "He is a remarkable craftsman who plunges deeply into the meaning of his chosen poetry and proceeds to paint the pictures and plumb the moods with great skill and appositeness...." "...impressive diversity...." "...intellectual and emotional satisfaction in the listener." "...all the singers were excellent without exception." "The instrumentalists played with heart and soul."
