Crystal Records has the world's largest collection of recordings
of Hovhaness, conducted or supervised by the composer. "Because of his ability to
produce beautiful sounds and the unabashedly melodic character of his work, his
music possesses instant appeal." (New York Times) "This
is what music should be." (American
Record Guide). There is now an all-Hovhaness web site, with probably the most inclusive
biography to be found anywhere. You can access the site at www.hovhaness.com. Be sure to
