“In Hovda, we have a wonderful example of that 'X' factor that makes certain artists transcendent and musical theorists sputter in frustration at the challenge of the evanescent perfection of art.”
ROBERT CARL, Fanfare

"I believe that The Eleanor Hovda Collection is destined to join the ranks of the most important releases of this decade in the 'New Music'/'Avant Classical' categories."
GREG EDWARDS, Gapplegate Classical-Modern Music Review

"This 4-disk set is a revelation. The late Ms. Hovda wrote music that puzzled me at first --it's sometimes glacially paced, with long silences. I kept expecting ambient, drone, minimalism or chamber music - it is all and none of those. The first piece is for bowed cymbals, the second finds Hovda playing 'piano innards.' My most listened-to album of the year so far, even at 4 disks."
