Reviews
'The recording is an example of fastidious detail to history breathing new life into an underserved work. One hopes that a recording of Byrd’s masses will be soon to follow.'
Christian B. Carey blog
'The singers radiate a lot of tranquility, despite their agility and clear declamation, they create an atmosphere of devotion.'
Concerto
'Beautifully rounded sound on this recording combines with the freshness, vivacity and energy of very fine performances, shaped with taste, understanding and lovely legato lines.'
