What have critics said about L’Ensemble...

"It was pure cabaret and fit Faiella like a glove. This type of singing suits her voice and technique wonderfully. And with her naturally vibrant personality, she's able to carry off the witty lyrics in grand style."

The Saratogian (Saratoga Springs, NY)

"...wicked virtuosity!"

"... sings with considerable intelligence and an apt intimacy and warmth."

The New York Times

"Faiella's honest sense of the hearts of these songs turns them into American art songs, not self-conscious yet personal at the same time. She went to the edge, but never over it."

"A performance by Faiella is a formidable experience."

"The score required Faiella to sing, speak, chant, shout, croon and act! She was outrageously wonderful."

The Albany Times Union

"L'Ensemble has roamed freely in the realm of 'crossover' before such work had a label."

The Troy (NY) Record

"Ms. Faiella is no slouch at using her voice to comic effect."

The Wall Street Journal

"The instrumentalists of L'Ensemble played sparklingly and Faiella's singing throughout was excellent."

The Tulsa (OK) Tribune
