'A superlative Hyperion disc' (Daily Telegraph)

'Rolfe Johnson is in superb voice ... this disc is an outstanding example of his artistry' (Gramophone)

'Un superbe disque d'approfondissement de la musique de Britten' (Ecouter, Voir, France)

'Most notable is the Hyperion team presided over by Anthony Rolfe Johnson, whose 1991 recording has become one of the jewels in the record label's crown ... Rolfe John's pairing with countertenor Michael Chance in Abraham and Isaac is deeply moving as they enact what is essentially a miniature drama, and the tenor's mellifluous singing is a joy throughout this disc.'
