‘Hill breathes new life into Gibbons' musical and spoken rhetoric, using tempo and dynamics to set up conflicts between vocal lines. Perfectly complemented by Robin Blaze … the choral sound is exemplary―clean, but edged with an appealing English softness … a glorious sound’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘This recording is a well-balanced introduction to Gibbons' obvious musical talent’ (Scotland on Sunday)

‘A dazzling series of salon and genre pieces full of the easy charm and winning tunefulness that also mark Glazunov's ballet The Seasons. Stephen Coombs proves a most persuasive advocate, consistently conveying sheer joy in keyboard virtuosity … which gives magic to pieces which might otherwise seem trivial. It makes a feast for any lover of piano music’ (The Guardian)

‘This disc is amazing … wild stuff, to which Rian de Waal does ample justice’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘De Waal offers a dumbfounding version of the Kunstlerleben 'symphonic metamorphosis', with its virtiginously virtuosic rethinking of the Strauss waltz, as well as several Schubert transcriptions and the equally astonishing 'contrapuntal arrangement' of Weber's Invitation to dance. All of these are thrown off with a fine sense of style—the wit and exactitude of de Waal's phrasing in Kunstlerleben have to be heard to be believed’ (International Piano)

‘Outstanding performances of transcendentally virtuoso music by a renowned virtuoso recorded superbly and presented immaculately’ (MusicWeb International)

‘This is vocal chamber music of a high order—secure in tuning, varied in sonority and elegant in phrasing’ (Early Music)

‘Hauntingly beautiful music … a most rewarding experience’ (Organists' Review)

'Indispensable para un amante de la polifonía renascentista' (CD Compact, Spain)

‘Gloriously rich and sensitive performances of magnificent music’ (Classic CD)

«Une partition puissante éclairée avec ferveur et magnificence par les voix d'Henry's Eight» (Répertoire, France)

‘This second instalment of Gombert from Henry's Eight is cause for celebration. Gombert has found worthy champions’ (Gramophone)
