"Songs From Afar is a triumph of emotional and musical communication, and is not to be missed".

"There is an alluring timelessness to the music created by pianist Lucian Ban's Elevation quartet on Songs From Afar ... Like fellow pianist John Stetch, who frequently mines his Ukrainian heritage, Ban has tapped an essential source with the addition of Tarmure's stately vocals. Hébert's arrangement of "Transylvanian Wedding Song," which pairs the singer with Maneri's micro-tonal viola, is especially powerful in a program that reveals new high points with each listen".
