'The Music Nigel Short's vocal ensemble Tenebrae continues its candlelit journey, after discs of Victoria's Requiem and Allegri's Miserere, with a programme of 15 brief English choral works … the Performance Tenebrae's intense, closely-mic'd sound is superbly balanced and textured; a soothing, uplifting antidote to our hectic lives' (Classic FM Magazine)» More

‘Parry has his own distinction; witness the winsome and ardent D major Sonata―lovely in its melodies and heartfelt in emotions―and the Fantasie Sonata traces a rich vein of lyricism. The Pieces are each engaging and pleasing. The splendid performances are naturally recorded’ (Classical Source)

‘The Cardinall's Musick are at their best in this repertoire, and their performances have confidence and authority … Parsons certainly deserves the hearing that Carwood's musicians afford us, so this addition to the catalogue is very valuable’ (Gramophone)

‘Carwood and his singers highlight the inherent drama of Parsons' style, notably in O bone Jesu, with its changing textures, brilliant canons and expressive dissonances … perhaps the crowning glory of the disc is the final Ave Maria, the slow and poignant unfolding of which echoes long in the memory. Hyperion's detailed recording, swathed in the glowing acoustic of the Fitzalan Chapel, Arundel Castle, enhances these seraphic performances’ (BBC Music Magazine)
