Hailed as “utterly original” by The New York Times, the music of David Hertzberg is swiftly garnering recognition. 
In the spring of 2020, the debut recording of his opera, The Wake World, was released on Tzadik. Lauded as “a rapturous nirvana” by the Financial Times and “astonishingly imaginative” by the BBC, the recording was included among The New York Times Best Classical Albums of 2020. This was followed shortly by the release of his chamber opera, The Rose Elf, in the fall.  Opera News named it one of the Best Albums of the Year, calling it “a kaleidoscopic, narcotic vision” that The New Yorker wrote “blooms with warmth and depth”. That same year he was awarded the Andrew Imbrie Award from The American Academy of Arts and Letters and named a 2020 Guggenheim Fellow.
