“Eve Egoyan’s pianism has strengths in abundance, fully justifying Michael Finnissy’s testimony that ‘she illuminates the music she plays; an alchemy, authenticity and fearlessness’.” – International Piano Magazine

“What makes Egoyan an artist to die for is her devotion to new music. She specializes in the unfamiliar, but plays it so revealingly we come away from her recitals still wondering at the poetry she reveals in what can sound desiccated and dull… Her mind is all quicksilver in its lightness and leaping alertness… brilliantly clear and perceptive.” – Halifax Chronicle-Herald

“The test of a great recording is whether you find yourself temporarily unable to live without it. For certain overlapping periods this year, I couldn’t stop listening to…Ann Southam’s immense, mysterious piano piece Simple Lines of Enquiry.” – Alex Ross, The New Yorker

“A player of incredible, often very quiet intensity.” – The Wire

“AN IMPECCABLE SOLO RECITAL BY EVE EGOYAN THAT EXCELS IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY” – Gramophone Magazine

Pianist Eve Egoyan is a composer´s dream. The largeness of her spirit informs everything she plays with its sensitivity to the tiniest nuance, and her perceptive ability to make strange and unheard-of detail fit together in the most convincing way. – Halifax Chronicle-Herald

“A performer whose powers of listening cast a hypnotic spell over her audiences, opening their ears and hearts… What’s Egoyan´s secret? Meticulous preparation. Discerning choice of repertoire-she only plays music she loves…an innate love for piano sonorities and texture. Abundant technique that never advertises itself. A passionate desire to get under the skin of the music she plays… and Egoyan´s magical quality of listening…” – National Post

“With grace and intensity in equal measure, Canadian pianist Eve Egoyan seems incapable of an unmellifluous gesture.” – Opus Magazine

Egoyan’s take on new works is stunning…Egoyan’s remarkable playing balanced that delicacy with intense focus, holding all in a net…the spaces in between the notes were still charged with presence…I even found myself confusing sound with touch…so convincingly had Egoyan restitched our reference points. – The Globe and Mail
