Egoyan made the time pass so quickly because she held our attention so perfectly. She played the work with an intensity that was seductive… Egoyan is the kind of committed, bold artist of every composer’s dreams.—Globe and Mail, March 2002
Egoyan, so at home in a challenging aesthetic, performs it with the same integrity and intensity that a mystic brings to her prayers.—Globe and Mail, October 2001
...A player of incredible, often very quiet intensity, Egoyan´s capacity for fine-hair nuance was put to the ultimate test.- The Wire, June 2001
Eve Egoyan brought an ideal mix of lyricism and rhythmic vitality to the work, producing a nice shape and clarity in even the most demanding passages- SFCV.org, Contemporary Music Review, March 2001
It was clear that this is an extraordinarily lucid, penetrating pianist, with exquisite touch, total accuracy... she´s a joy to watch and listen to, in short.- UW Gazette, February 2001
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. Her technique is astonishingly supple in its fusion of warm, radiant tone with the utmost degree of virtuosity. 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, November 1999
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... it all adds up to a trustworthiness:... your chances of having your time wasted at an Egoyan recital are very slim indeed... Egoyan´s strong sense of program design deserves special mention... Her recitals take the listener through a journey that offers a pleasure and sense of discovery comparable to four-star gastronomy.- National Post, 1999
[Eve Egoyan] draws out intense, difficult beauty... in the hands of a committed interpreter such as Eve Egoyan, [the music] becomes a pathway to the unconscious... The intensity of Egoyan´s focus pulled the listener into a claustrophobic inner world, holding us within a net of promise that evaporated only as the final notes died away.
