Gregory Berg writes in the November/December 2016, Journal of Singing.

Regarding "Tragedy" - the last of the three songs: "Laitman has achieved something truly extraordinary here. Indeed, it is difficult to think of any art song in the last century that has achieved this kind of utter perfection."
