"These compositions show Hovhaness at his best."
- American Record Guide
"...kudos to Citadel!"
- Fanfare
Citadel/Mafy records present this stunning legacy recording of works by American-Armenian composer Alan Hovhaness. Hovhaness was one of the most prolific 20th-century composers, with his official catalog comprising 67 numbered symphonies (surviving manuscripts indicate over 70) and 434 opus numbers. The true tally is well over 500 surviving works, since many opus numbers comprise two or more distinct works.
"[Music is] a sacred art, a pathway of life through a living universe, merging East and West, heaven and earth, addressed not to the snobbish few but to all people as an inspiration in their journey through the universe."
- Alan Hovhaness
