Review of "Faces of the Past"

“What a gorgeous paean to the joys and sorrows of life and living as we experience it. Wadsworth’s composition traced a compelling arc from remembrance to anguish to rediscovered hope. Vastly colorful harmonies bloomed within a wide variety of instrumental and choral timbres, unafraid to be darkly bitter, vulnerable without being overly effusive... “Faces of the Past” left a heartfelt imprint upon my own memory.”
