GRAMOPHONE CRITICS' CHOICE

'A real ear-opener; a must for all lovers of English church music, both for the quality of the music and the standard of performance... 70 minutes of magnificent music... Dr Trepte and his forces deserve our gratitude for unearthing such a musical treasure trove' (Cambridgeshire Journal)

'Delightful ... A sense of delight is telegraphed across the centuries... the music amply rewards the enterprise of those who have revived it' (Gramophone)

John Amner (1579-1641)
