Heather Christian goes full-out with an oratorio addressing nothing less than the human condition, working on a broader canvas — eighteen singers and instrumentalists — than she's used before.  Christian's music is too rootsy — cute country and blues — for my taste.  But you can't deny her craft and seriousness of purpose.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Buvette, a delightful (if tiny) French spot.
