Over the fence

"Over the Fence" contains all of the published songs of Elsa Respighi, two of which are world-premieres.  The recording is the culmination of extensive research on the composer, whose compositional life was short due to her championing the works of her husband, Ottorino Respighi.  The album also contains songs by Modesta Bor and Lori Laitman.

Comments from the composer

"The Respighi Songs are so beautiful - and I didn't know any of them​. Each one is exquisite - with beautiful sensitivity to the text and great vocal writing. The two of you have a great ensemble - every nuance is beautiful and beautifully matched. 

I am so pleased by your rendition of my song cycle -- the phrasing and colors and understanding of the transitions are superb - and I want to thank you both so much for the time and dedication you took to bring my music to life so beautifully! What a terrific compilation of songs. Thank you for including me!"
                                  -Lore Laitman, Composer, 2014
