Two Sides Sounding has premiered works by Eve Beglarian, Corey Dargel, Louis Durey, Edward Ficklin, Christopher Gable, Edie Hill, Gilda Lyons, Eric Moe, Rachel Peters, Kala Pierson, Sam Piperato, Michael Rose, Daniel Sonenberg and Aleksandra Vrebalov. Eleanor Taylor and Jocelyn Dueck’s premiere of Corey Dargel’s Con Dolcezza (with Sweetness) received special mention in New Yorker music critic Alex Ross’ blog The Rest is Noise: “Caught the first part of the Two Sides Sounding recital at St. Peter's… Corey Dargel's Condoleezza Rice song cycle — setting three passages from the Secretary of State's speeches — sounded prankish in concept, but was surprisingly moving in execution…I recommend these songs to sopranos of daring.” MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow tweeted about the cycle as “high art based on politicians’ transcribed remarks” and included a link to the group’s recording.
