Say It Isn't So is a joyful celebration of the impeccably crafted songs of Irving Berlin and the unique partnership between Claire Martin and the late Richard Rodney Bennett. Lifelong friends on and off stage, Martin and Bennett recorded three studio albums and enjoyed acclaimed concert performances in a collaboration that flourished over two decades. Recorded in New York, Say It Isn't So is their last recording together and one of which Claire is immensely proud. Bennett's skillful arrangements highlight why Berlin was widely considered one of the greatest American songwriters of all time and brilliantly showcase Claire's assured and expressive voice. Claire and Richard's previous duo albums, When Lights are Low and Witchcraft, received wide critical acclaim, 'their albums set the standard for classic interpretations of popular songs' (The Observer).
