Gramophone

Godár's transparent but strong style is greatly helped in this by the powerfully raw voice of Iva Bittová.... I predict a great future for this recording. Ivan Moody

Philadelphia Inquirer

1/2 A rich collection of works for voice (both solo and choral) and instrumental ensembles.... There's a distinctive, possibly major personality here and some welcome surprises. David Patrick Stearns

Newark Star-Ledger

1/2 The plaintive mode may be familiar, but this scarcely detracts from the cumulative power of "Mater," with the connection between Godár's crying notes and Bittová's fragile sound something special. Bradley Bambarger
