Grammy Award - Producer of the Year, Classical, 2012
Grammy Nomination - Best Orchestral Performance, 2012
Grammy Nomination - Best Engineered Album, Classical, 2012
"A vivid, often wrenching program."
- The New York Times
"... spacious, transparent, powerful sound ... thought-provoking and restorative ..."
- Stereophile
"... (an) intense but rewarding program ... performances are all convincing. Kalmar keeps up the emotional heat but knows exactly when to pull back and give the listener some respite while maintaining an undercurrent of dread ... sound is terrific, vivid, highly detailed and dynamic. The sound of massed strings playing softly is gorgeous, subtly textured ..."
- The Absolute Sound
