High Fidelity: Critic’s Choice
Fanfare: 10 Best Recordings of the Year
Ovation: Record of Distinction
Reviews:
“Bridge 9006 has a haunting cycle by George Crumb and nine top-drawer Ives songs, done splendidly by Jan DeGaetani and Gilbert Kalish” - The New York Times
“DeGaetani will hold you spellbound through her supreme musicianship. Kalish’s inspired work contributes immeasurably to this hauntingly beautiful recording.” - Ovation
“DeGaetani’s voice couldn’t be more perfect for this music—it’s liquid, tender, and rich with nuance, supported by nearly infallible technique and unerring intonation. Kalish brings to this disc a sensitivity and touch that most players reserve for their Chopin or Mozart.” - Digital Audio
