STRONGER THAN DARKNESS (Jorge Martin, composer)
"Of the vocal soloists for the program, I was most impressed by Mr. Benoliel, whose warm and well-focused baritone voice falls within my favorite vocal range. The other men were also very good, and the women as well, but Martin's music really gave Benoliel a chance to shine. I hope to hear him sing again. "
