“Sandler puts forth a series of contemplative tracks, some of which are short and instrumental, functioning as vignettes that set the mood before a new poem surfaces. Her voice is clear, direct and unembellished, letting the words shine through.”
“There’s a mix of innocence to the lyrics and sounds, which contrasts with the knowledge of the future. Deeply felt, thought and delivered.”
“A poignant, individualistic, searingly relevant record…”
“Sometimes the quiet allows for an assimilation of grace. Listening to this is one of those times.”
“The most remarkable feature of Dana Sandler's debut is the absence of emotional blackmail, although I could imagine the deepest teardrop valley. The singer and instrumentalists managed to grasp human feelings with supreme artistic persuasion…
“A serious undertaking that’s not to be taken lightly, for those impressed by the indomitable nature of the human spirit…”
“Finely worked and sensitive from start to finish, a new approach to a childish art which expressed itself in the worst conditions of imprisonment imagined by the Nazis. Full of emotion, the music gently delivers a necessary memory message, especially thanks to inspired musicians who know how to accompany Dana Sandler's songs with judicious restraint and precision.”
“I Never Saw Another Butterfly delivers on so many levels of the heart and soul it’s hard to quantify or absorb in a single sitting. Thanks to Sandler, we have long overlooked poems and some divinely inspired music to cherish and reflect on.”
