"Musto spins flaxen pop into golden art." 

New York Newsday

“Musto is the real thing, a quite flawless musician, with superb chops and lyric instincts.  He’s sophisticated as hell and can write a great tune.” 

Fanfare Magazine

“Musto’s many songs are treasures of the American repertory, and here he establishes himself with even more distinction as a skilled opera composer.”

Musical America

“American composer John Musto brings a rich, eclectic individuality to the songs on this superb disc.  The harmonic palette is vast, the thematic writing keenly attuned to the words...Teaming with the composer as deft pianist, baritone Patrick Mason, soprano Amy Burton and pianist Michael Barrett make expressive gold of the alluring creations.”

The Cleveland Plain Dealer

“I don’t know of any full-time composer today

who plays the piano with greater panache.”
