Gregory Berg reviewed the CD in the January/February 2020 Journal of Singing. About “Fresh Patterns,” Laitman’s settings of Emily Dickinson and Annie Finch, Berg writes: “The work opens with Laitman’s exquisite setting of Emily Dickinson’s “It’s all I have to bring today,” one of her finest and most famous poems. That is followed by “A Letter to Emily Dickinson,” a text by contemporary poet Annie Finch in which she offers heartfelt thanks to Dickinson for her legacy. The work concludes with a stroke of genius as Laitman combines the first and second songs into a beautiful duet that seems to draw these two gifted poets from two different centuries into the same time and place. It is a work of extraordinary beauty and impact…”
