“Pauline Frechette’s latest collection of neo-classical compositions reminds me of the first time I walked through the streets of Paris. Sure, I had an idea of what I would see, but there was nothing that could have prepared me for the fantastic and magical atmosphere of that city. Frechette’s work has a similar magic. It transports the listener to a higher plane and enriches the soul in a way that only great art can.”
