Entertainment Reviews:

CMJ - 4/16/01, p.23

"...Seldom has a pianist been more generous with his talent....[Hersch] embellishes the songs with his contemplative, elegiac style....this is the quietest 3 hours of music one is likely to find this side of Geroge Winston..."

JazzTimes - 5/01, pp.121-2

"...An ambitious triptych that profiles Hersch as solo pianist, composer and interpreter. The music is impeccably organized and paced..."

New York Times (Publisher) - 5/06/01

"SONGS WITHOUT WORDS is a self portrait of the artist in three elegantly wrought panels.... Mr. Hersch...improvises with the sharp conceptual clarity of a classical composer; instead of merely skimming atop the familiar chord changes of standard songs, he forges them into rigorously structured, wholly personal re-creations."
