‘St Paul's magnificent choir is on fine form in this rich sequence of psalms, including some of the most popular in the calendar … The choir is, of course, magnificent, perhaps supreme, in the quality of its voices’ (Gramophone)

‘The singing is of the same high standard maintained throughout the series; the organ accompaniments are distinguished’ (Gramophone)

‘Sing, rejoice and give thanks!—for with these two volumes this memorable series is complete’ (Organists' Review)

‘[This CD] has concluded an impressive document of music for Anglican worship. I once wrote that it is not likely to be done better. That is all the more evident now with its completion’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘The intense pleasure and satisfaction to be gleaned from these discs is hard to explain to the uninitiated. Huw Williams' accompaniments are models of sensitivity and discretion and John Scott’s relaxed direction, lovingly caressing these timeless words and phrases, creates an aura of mystery and sanctity. Here, surely, is the very apogee of English Psalm singing … an exceptionally inspiring and captivating—not to say enchanting—series’ (Gramophone)

‘St Paul's is the king of cathedral choirs, and the sound of their singing, with the majesty of the organ in the awesome reverberance of the great building to match, is as rich and noble as any sound on earth’ (Gramophone)

‘There is no doubt that this is first-rate chanting by one of the finest choirs in England’ (American Record Guide)

‘Classic accounts deserving a place in anyone's CD collection’ (BBC Music Magazine)

'There’s a lot going for this newcomer. The scale is modest … the playing is wonderfully vital' (Gramophone)

‘"Recommended" is far too mild; this is an absolute must-have for anyone irretrievably bereft of a musical soul’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘These are by far the best recordings of these wonderful works to have come my way … exactly as Purcell must have envisaged it’ (Classic CD)

‘Very highly recommended. More please’ (Early Music)
