From Morten Lauridsen:
"Rilke's stunningly beautiful texts for Chanson Éloignée will resonate deeply with all singers everywhere - the yearning of a heart for song and for love, and what it means to be given the gift of singing."

From the Los Angeles Times (Daniel Cariaga):
"Lauridsen's potent Chanson Éloignée continues that composer's long series of soul-searching works that thrill the ear and touch the heart. It will resonate in many places for a long time."
