Music about grief is a bit like medicine: most people don’t reach for it until they are in acute and dire need. The Vertex Duo, composed of mezzo-soprano Kristin Gornstein and pianist Jeremy Chan, might sympathize, having created just this medicine for the soul in the wake of some of the darkest biographical hours.
The result is joy, too a curiously wonderful collection of melancholy songs – so lyrical and beautiful, one doesn’t have to be sad to want to listen to it. In case of misfortune however, it may well be sanity-saving: with its stirring melodies and poignant lyrics, JOY, TOO serves as a testament to the universal experience of sorrow, offering solace and understanding to those grappling with its impact.
