"Recorded over a 12-year span, the 14 songs on Bolta Eimu are largely from Ozolina's native area, Latgale. Many of the songs were chosen from manuscripts compiled in the late 1800s. Ozolina is known for her ability to sing in an open and direct way, and on this recording her vocals are marked by a quiet clarity and a purity of tone. At times, her singing is playful, but it is usually introspective and even reverent... In her skillful hands, the kokle sounds like a harp, a zither and an autoharp in various enticing combinations. - Ivan Emke, RootsWorld
