From our earliest encounter, two things struck me as outstanding about Chiara Pancaldi. One of them was her clarity of expression. Speaking as more than a casual observer, one of the hardest things to attain in this music is conviction. That comes with experience and depth. Ms. Pancaldi is possessed of both, and that alone would make this set a pure joy to listen to ! In the days of insincerity and over-produced, gimmicky, flash-in-the-pan artists, Chiara Pancaldi-I’m glad there is you !’
