American Record Guide reviews Conspirare’s The Hope of Loving: Choral Music of Jake Runestad in their November/December 2019 Issue:

“Eriks Esenvalds, Ola Gjeilo, and Eric Whitacre might have to slide down the bench a little to make room for a newcomer. … Runestad’s music tends to be luminous, spiritually-charged, enmeshed with the texts that inspired it, and fully accessible to singers and audiences. … There’s a reason why this guy’s songs are sung all over the place, and why an A-List choir like Conspirare has embraced him. … Conspirare—no surprise here— supports the composer every step of the way; collectively and in the solos performed handsomely by soloists culled from its ranks.”
