ACCLAIM FOR LIEDER ALIVE!
from San Francisco Classical Voice

“Lieder Alive! Is Very Much Alive” – Janos Gereben

“Violinist Zakarias Grafilo’s arrangements for voice and string quartet helped bring Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder and Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder to life
in an invigorating performance by mezzo-soprano Kindra Scharich and the Alexander String Quartet.” – Rebecca Wishnia

“The performance was so beautiful, and so honored the essence of love and longing at the heart of Brahms’ music, that I wanted it to go on and on.”
– Jason Victor Serinus
