“Such poignance that your heart may be buoyed rather than broken” - Will Layman, PopMatters
“A monumental achievement… In Sadigursky’s musical vision, new music, folk, jazz, chamber music, and Klezmer blend into a unique and highly personal cross-genre hybrid. The interplay between the duet partners is strikingly telepathic… In its totality, the instrumental cycle addresses the 20th century Jewish experience, but its spirit is generous and open enough to reflect that of any population of immigrants and refugees, transcending the particular to address the promises of the American dream, both realized and broken.” - Seth Rogovoy, Chronogram
