GRAMOPHONE CRITICS' CHOICE

'Deeply moving and magical' (Gramophone)

'Another compelling release in this series - up to Gothic Voices' usual standard' (BBC Music Magazine)

'Toutes les qualités des chanteurs sont par la suite mises en valeur; beaucoup d'expression, une justesse indiscutable, une rigueur rythmique sans ombre, une pureté des voix et une homogénéité des ensembles dignes d'éloges' (Diapason, France)

'De nuevo, Gothic Voices encanta e hipnotiza al oyente con unas visiones transidas de emotividad, dulzura, pureza de líneas e immaculada hermosura' (Diario de Jerez, Spain)

'Page makes our mouths water with reference to future programs. We're waiting patiently, but don't wait to pick up this disc' (Fanfare, USA)
