‘I'm not sure what medieval ears would have made of it but there's no denying Sinfonye's capacity for alerting us to a small but distinctive repertoire from an age and mentality essentially no different from our own’ (BBC Music Magazine Top 1000 CDs Guide)

‘The disc is irresistible. The singing and playing are ravishing, the sound immediate and caressing. This month's list is full of unfamiliar things but this may be the loveliest’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘The orchestra … is expert, infectious, and very stylish, executing an attractive idea’ (The Sunday Times)

‘As ever Peter Phillips directs these performances with clarity, precision and a feel for a nicely modulated line. A great deal of scholarship has gone into producing the music on the disc, but when you listen you forget scholarship and simply lie back and enjoy some fabulous music, beautifully and intelligently sung’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘This is a little-known landmark of the music of the sixteenth century, and it's not an easy piece for any choir. If you can sample, dip into the 14-minute Sanctus and Benedictus, and hear how the Tallis Scholars' focus holds up the piece's almost symphonic architecture. This release will help fill out any shelf of Renaissance choral music with pieces that should really be there’ (AllMusic, USA)» More

‘An enthralling disc, a wholly persuasive introduction both to this little-known repertoire and to how it should be performed’ (BBC Music Magazine)
