GRAMOPHONE RECORDING OF THE MONTH
GRAMOPHONE CRITICS' CHOICE
GRAMOPHONE AWARDS WINNER
DIAPASON D'OR

'This is Dufay as I have always wanted to hear him. [It] is as close to a perfect Dufay CD as I have ever heard … So utterly compelling is this recording that I can imagine it acquiring cult status' (Gramophone)

'Superb' (BBC Music Magazine)

'Cette interprétation est pétrie d'une humanité confondante qui m'a laissé coi' (Répertoire, France)

'La vitalité et l'éclat sont magnifiquement rendus dans cette interprétation anglo-saxonne qui impose un bel équilibre entre l'euphorie sensuelle habituelle de ses choeurs a capella et le dynamisme d'une lecture expressive et claire' (Diapason, France)
