Reviews: "Quotes from John Hammond and Allen Hughes give merited praise to the composer-performer, whose recording is well off the beaten path. The only regret is not seeing her in action." American Record Guide. "Kabat is obviously very much concerned with texture, timbre, and sonority, as well as emotion...The Five Poems by H.D. are beautiful. The glass harmonica has a ravishing sound that is novel and immediately captivating...Her setting of the Dylan Thomas poem is quite marvelous." Fanfare. "Julie Kabat is a truly enchanting artist." John Hammond (deceased), formerly with CBS records. "Quite playful, weird and mad. The recorded sound is excellent." Music Tokyo Company
