Music from Luzerne
Theresa Treadway-Lloyd (mezzo-soprano), Toby Blumenthal (piano), Bert Phillips (cello)
The Luzerne Chamber Music Festival presents eight weekly concerts on Monday evenings during July and August in Lake Luzerne, New York. The concerts are held under the auspices of the Luzerne Music Center, a music camp for talented young musicians founded in 1980 by Philadelphia Orchestra cellist Bert Phillips, and his wife, Toby Blumenthal, concert pianist. All the music on this CD was performed as part of this imaginative concert series. Theresa Treadway Lloyd is the head of vocal studies at the Luzerne Music Center and does perform regularly at the Festival.

"The Cabaret Songs on the Albany disc are... witty, sexy, straightforward... they are the best of a collection of contemporary American songs..."
