Reviews

'Voces8—smart-suited, slickly branded, but can they sing? Yes: this selection of arrangements for eight voices shows the group's undoubted vocal pedigree (it was founded by ex-Westminster Abbey choristers)' (BBC Music Magazine)
RECORDING
PERFORMANCE

'Another winner from Signum is Voces 8's Christmas. As the name implies, these are eight young singers: two sopranos, two counter-tenors, two tenors, a baritone and a bass, who present a cappella arrangements of popular carols, with verve and finesse. I loved hearing such familiar stuff dressed up in new ways that are invariably sophisticated and sensitively done' (Daily Mail)
