‘Byrd's Great Service was not discovered until the 1920s, and is one of his most magnificent creations, awesome in scale and hugely demanding, with its intricate and complex 10-part polyphony … For those wanting larger forces and boys' voices in the treble parts, this is a mightily impressive option. The abbey's 'authentic' cathedral acoustic is a bonus, lending even more grandeur’ (The Sunday Times)

‘The Choir of Westminster Abbey revels in the score's complexity, animating the dialogues within its ten-part texture with clarity and conviction … this disc shows us clearly why the Great Service ranks as Byrd's definitive Anglican music’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Robin Blaze's countertenor is ideal for these songs’ (The Daily Telegraph)

‘Robin Blaze … sings with an effortless ease and tonal beauty capable of delighting in lighter songs, but also affecting the heart in a more intense utterance such as 'The cypress curtain of the night', one of Campion's greatest songs’ (Goldberg)
