Jazz magazines are still writing about Playsong - The music of Bill Evans (recorded 2001)

February 2007: Bill Jacobs at Sonic Wheel (USA): (5/5): Among the most beautiful and touching jazz ever recorded.

On Playsong you will find some of the most beautiful and touching jazz ever recorded. Hilde's unique ability to touch hearts and souls with her voice can only be attributed to her intelligence, integrity, empathy, and humility, together with a lot of talent and hard work... all qualities rare in the music industry. Add several of the best jazz musicians in the world today, and you have another very special Hilde Hefte album.

September 2006: Nordishe Musik (Germany): (5/6)

The music magazine Orkesterjournalen (Sweden):

The first thing that strikes you is how beautiful Hilde Hefte and her musicians are taking care of this historical music. She is a vocalist who is listening. Playsong is not an ego-project, this album is not made for showing everybody her musical talent. It feels like Hilde Hefte is a part of this group. Really wonderful.

The music magazine Jazz Stage (Sweden):

Hilde Hefte has managed holding an non-artistical atitude, and the result is an interpretation that I would call heartfelt. It is Hilde Hefte who is touching my heart.

The music magazine Jazz Spesial (Denmark):

Hilde Hefte interprets Evans with warmth and it's crystal clear....  the best album ever since Bill Evans own recordings together with Tony Bennett.

The music magazine Jazzpodium (Germany):

Playsong is lyrical, elegant and sophisticated. Wonderful that Hilde Hefte starting this album not using lyrics, but  only sings pianissimo and soft. As a composer Bill Evans is a genious and so is the jazz vocalist Hilde Hefte.

Awarded through the jazz magazine Jazz Nytt (in Norway) - this years best jazz album in 2002.
