Review"Poetry, passion blend in masterful concert. Friday's MusicFest concert at Crooker Theater included... two new settings of poems by Edna St. Vincent Millay, a Maine treasure and the best-loved poet since Sappho. It doesn't get much better than this. <BR>
Stephen Novick is to be thanked for commissioning Michael Cohen to set the two Millay songs.... They are masterful, and were perfectly rendered.... There was a strange atmosphere in the crowded theater after the last note, as if people wanted to jump up and cheer but were afraid to do so after the first hearing of a "modern" work.... Maybe Cohen could do a dozen or so of the sonnets. I'd contribute to the fee. <BR>--Christopher Hyde, Maine Sunday Telegram
