Reviews

‘The 'Hosanna' of the Mass is supremely inventive and worth the price of admission on its own, and the contrast between the two penitential motets and the brace of Song of Songs illustrates Vivanco's range most eloquently’ (Gramophone)

‘It is entirely typical of Robert Hollingworth … that he should have taken his latest ensemble, De Profundis, on yet another intriguing journey of discovery. The most impressive work here is the Mass which is presented within a liturgical framework with plainsongs and some interspersed motets. The opening Kyrie reveals a well-tuned ensemble with particularly strong bass singers’ (BBC Music Magazine)
PERFORMANCE
RECORDING

‘Hollingworth is good, he's really wringing some wonderful juiciness … out of this polyphony … what I love about Vivanco is that there is definitely a sense of personality here … there are all sorts of clever contrapuntal tricks going on underneath the surface’ (BBC Record Review)

‘This new recording is very welcome. Even though some of the music is available on other collections, the new performances more than hold their own and there is much new material’ (MusicWeb International)» More
