Press Quotes about Hovhaness’ recordings on Delos:
“With their reflections of Nature, the spiritual, and the oriental, the symphonies of Alan Hovhaness are rapidly acquiring cult status.”
– CD Review (UK)“It’s good to see the music of Alan Hovhaness returning to wide public attention again. His is an utterly original, inventive style of nobility, free of pretense. …fine performances in sensational 20-bit sound. It is also the first to gather so much of the best Hovhaness creations onto a single disc.” In Tune
