Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars below average voice and interpretation; admirable program.......1999-09-29

Pilgrim's voice is without expression or feeling, and unfortunately, is with excessive and unstable vibrato. The selections are wide-ranged and interesting. The program has great potential as a comprehensive resource, but it's vocal performance lacks talent, technique, and interpretation.
