notes

I impressed all my friends when I played this!, This is a wonderful, original CD that I just love to listen to over and over. What an artist!
-Gloria Estefan

Gemma sings, composes and plays the violin with equal virtuosity and radiance.

Her musicianship was refined to the highest levels of excellence at the University of Warsaw's Academy of Music, later under the tutelage of the great Henryk Szeryng at the Conservatoire de Musique in Geneva, where she won a diploma in Virtuoso Performance, and finally at New York's Juilliard School, where she studied with the celebrated Ivan Galamian.

Her one-woman show in Paris, which she created in all respects (writing, music and vocal and instrumental performance), highlighted her manifold gifts as singer-violinist-performer. So impressed was Oscar Peterson, the great jazz pianist, that he urged Gemma to return to New York to pursue her dream of synthesizing jazz, pop and new age styles.

You can hear how uniquely Gemma has succeeded by playing her audio samples now. Her witty, sly lyrics and heartfelt tunes are more than charming: they're uplifting, disarming and warm the soul.
-James Kuslan

  • I found the ethereal quality of the recording very soothing
    author: Marsha

    This CD was very eay to listen to. The vocals were haunting and Gemma's voice was very pleasing. The instrumentals were fabulous.

  • Haunting, beautiful
    author: Scott Sancetta

    What a lovely CD of original music. A variety of genre-crossing pieces. Gemma plays several instruments (her violin is positively haunting) and sings with sweet tones, and lots of expression. Production is iffy, but with music like this, who cares?

    I am deeply honored to have been given the "GEMMA MOON SECRET" CD by my good friend Ron Della Chiesa of WGBH-FM Boston, to air on my GMMY RADIO NETWORKS.[Reaching a Worldwide Listening Audience] This will be a first airing Gemma's CD and you can count on Gemma's music being aired from now on in. I thought her CD's sensational, and more radio stations should air this talented singer musician daily. I shall also be linking Gemma's web site up to our "GOLDEN MUSIC MEMORIES OF YESTERYEAR" Web site in the "DIVA" section.

  • Enchanting! and groovy
    author: Peter Burandt

    Enchanting! and groovy. After you listen to this album you will agree, these two terms are no longer mutually exclusive.

  • It's a keeper!
    author: Donna

    Her voice is ethereal and soulful...there is lots of variety on this cd which is great to just sit down and listen to or to play as background while you're cleaning the house. I bought a copy for all my friends!

  • take me away
    author: jane

    cant wait for warm weather so i can melt in the sun and let Gemma take me away ~ Moon Secret is magical !

  • Superb, Music straight from the heavens. Everyone NEEDS this in their library
    author: Ronnie Chase

    It takes a lot to impress me, and I was in awe, listening to the cuts from this album being featured on WGBH a few weeks ago. I bought it with minutes of hearing the title cut. Fantastic mix of tunes, from love song to musette, then to scat singing with jazz overtones. Just buy it and close your eyes with headphones on and enjoy the ride.

  • Incredible. A phenomenable talent.
    author: V.J. Garner
