‘A gem of a CD’ (Gramophone)
‘A superbly balanced and expressive performance by The Brabant Ensemble shows the work to great advantage’ (Early Music Review)
‘The performances are excellent; supported by the well-captured acoustic of Merton College, Oxford, the singers negotiate the often highly imitative textures with great fluency. Well-shaped phrasing, good balance and generally subtle dynamic inflexions further contribute to the beauty of the sound … these are really very fine performances of rarely heard music’ (International Record Review)
‘Apart from the group's accomplished vocal work, the strong point of this disc is the profound understanding that is conveyed in the notes by Martin Ham. We can expect more of this repertoire from the group. But don't wait to get this one, for it is neatly organized and beautifully sung’ (Fanfare, USA)
‘This recording sets an example of how things should be done … a programme that is both intellectually and musically attractive’ (Goldberg)
‘An unqualified delight’ (MusicWeb International)
‘Throughout this recording the choir demonstrates the exceeding beauty of Crecquillon’s music. At certain moments it sears the soul so that one can hardly stand to listen to it, like too bright a light makes one want to close [one's] eyes. What could possibly be more fitting for a discussion of death and everlasting life?’ (Sacred Music, USA)
«Le chef et musicologue anglais révèle un rare talent de découvreur. Construire un programme autour de Mort m'a privé est une idée merveilleuse» (Diapason, France)
