Title: What grows in Iowa...
Product review: Bradley Moore is one top knotch accompanist and Mr. Cutler was fortunate to have him. his is a disappointing debut album, it fell short of expectation after hearing the Met broadcast of La Juive in December. His voice is so incredibly effected that there is no connection between the singer and the text. And thus, it immediately resonates as FALSE to the listener. One wants to be swept away in music, not question if Mr Cutler too much of a juvenile to understand the emotions he is singing about.To his credit, Mr. Cutler has solid technique. Unfortunately, technique does not make an artist. The fundamental element that is deficient here in both the cd and in the artist is HEART. If Mr. Cutler would only bother connecting with others, unveiling their humanity and revealing his own, then he would surely avoid the self conscious/self indulgent errors of relying solely on technique. Heart and humanity make an artist, a lesson Mr. Cutler is in dire need of learning.
