”I really like the Swedish singer Lena Måndotter’s deep and intimate interpretations of Leonard Cohen’s songs. The sparse and tasteful musical arrangements also leave the necessary space for her strong though sensitive vocals. Acoustic guitar, bouzouki and cello mirror very well the atmosphere of each song. It is difficult to choose only one favourite-song but if I could only choose one it would have to be ’By The Rivers Dark’. It suits Lena’s voice perfectly!” JARKKO ARJATSALO ­ The LeonardCohen -files

"Lena Måndotter's interpretations of Leonard Cohen's songs are very intuitive and exciting. A beautiful combination of the warmth of the solitary voice and tasteful musical arrangements."

"Last year Lena Måndotter released a very appreciated cd with interpretations of Songs of Leonard Cohen. This follow up cd Songs From The RIver" is a collection of her own songs and also interpretations of classic folksongs. Lena's dark, both mellow and intensive vocals binds it all together and creates a sense of
wholeness. Her own compositions are very impressive and the musical instrumentation is intuitive and in perfect understanding with her singing. This cd Songs From The River is one of my favourites, just like her Cohen-cd. Now I am looking forward to a cd with only compositions of Lena Måndotter. Her musical talent and capability is so obvious".
