”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."
SWEDISH NATIONAL RADIO P2, Marie Vesterholm
