New York Times – The 25 Best Classical Music Tracks of 2020

NPR – Best Classical Albums for a Troubled 2020

Rising w/ The Crossing collects 12 live concert recordings from The Crossing's archives, which were featured in our pandemic-inspired project of the same name. Included are collaborations with International Contemporary Ensemble and rare recordings of The Crossing singing early music from Buxtehude's Membra Jesu nostri with Quicksilver Baroque, alongside newly released recordings by Ted Hearne, David Lang, Eriks Esenvalds, Santa Ratniece, Paul Fowler, and Joby Talbot.

The first 60 chapters of Rising w/ The Crossing ran from March to June and can be found at www.crossingchoir.org/rising – the series gained national attention and was featured in Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Washington Post, and Performance Today; it has been archived by The Library of Congress as a cultural artifact as an "important part of this collection and the historical record."
