‘Cohen drives uplifting, beautifully phrased performances, with crisp playing and … fine singing from Arcangelo. Even if you already have JS Bach’s Magnificat on disc, you’ll discover you need this too’ (The Guardian)

‘Grand authority and lithe ebullience, sweeping effortlessly from verse to verse with considerable purpose … an illuminated Bachian constellation of three canticles colliding in captivating relief’ (Gramophone)

‘When composer Thomas Morley urged performers to draw listeners 'in chains of gold', he might well have been reviewing this recording … these performances glimmer with all the yearning, devoutness, and splendour of the age’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

'L’esecuzione del Binchois Consort, magistralmente diretto da Andrew Kirkman, è affidata a un ensemble di sole voci maschili. Tale organico permette di ottenere una particolare fusione vocale, arricchita dallo spessore interpretativo del direttore-musicologo Andrew Kirkman. Lodevoli, inoltre, I passaggi solistici, cosí come la grande precisione nell’esecuzione dei complessi mottetti isoritmici.' (MedioEvo, Italy)

‘Obrecht’s music and these performances are ravishingly beautiful and form a well-matched pair’ (Gramophone)

‘Hamelin and Andsnes are irresistibly clear and energetic, so that the sheer physical excitement [in The Rite] is on an altogether higher level … for sheer articulacy, synchronised gymnastics, flawless balance, range of colour and flinty attack, or any other criterion you care to reach for, [the Concerto] is breathtaking pianism … a strong candidate for Disc of the Year, never mind of the Month’ (Gramophone)

‘For King's Singers fans, this set is an automatic purchase. For others, its extraordinary versatility and consistent enjoyability are warmly recommended’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

‘[Roderick Williams] modestly calls himself a ‘singer who also composes’, but this runs the risk of minimising the strong practical core to his attractive and beautifully written music, which deserves a much wider audience. Thankfully, Signum Classics has done him proud with a generously filled 16-track anthology which displays an astonishing stylistic versatility’ (Gramophone)

‘Howard Shelley has made his name with this type of repertoire, and I think this disc may be the best I have heard of his … Pixis is another of those now forgotten composers who were household names during their lifetime—Hyperion has done sterling work in bringing him to our attention’ (MusicWeb International)

‘If, as seems likely, these are the first and only recordings of these works, we should be grateful that they are so good. The Leonore Trio, whose forte would seem to be the unsung trio repertoire, are as at home here as they were with their earlier recordings of Romantic fare such as Lalo, Arensky and Rimsky-Korsakov’ (MusicWeb International)

'Spillet er fylt av en lidenskap og spenning som taler direkte til tilhøreren … en fantastisk utgivelse' (Klassisk, Denmark)» More
