Horvath does a fabulous job, Bravo to Horvath !

worlds of infinite variety magnified by the subtle fingers of Nicolas Horvath.
A recording that confirms the importance of Philip Glass and the original talent of Nicolas Horvath.

Musicweb-international.com (David Barker - july 2016) 
I will certainly listen to this album on a regular basis.

Crescendo Magazine (Jean-Baptiste Baronian) Philip Glass arrangé et retranscrit  Rating : Son 9 – Livret 8 – Répertoire 8 – Interprétation 8
subtle and amazing music 

Infodad.Com (28 July 2016) 
This is a CD for fans of the film and diehard Glass advocates, one of whom is the pianist, Nicolas Horvath.

L'écho (Stéphane Renard – 30 July 2016) Rating : 4/5
an invitation to meditation. Rejuvenating.

Klassiek-centraal (Michel Dutrieue- 17/08/16 ) Rating : ★★★★ 
Highly recommended. a quintessential American image.

La Vos de los Vientos (Mike Shooter – 15 march 2018)
From the first piece (“The Poet Acts”) there is a liveliness, a different rhythm that was probably already there but in Horvath's hands it becomes much more evident. Something very similar happens in the rest of the album. 
the best recording we have heard of this music.
