"What is particularly noticeable in this recording is the close cohesions between words and music. This is achieved to a large extent through variations of volume, variations one might describe as precise, colourful and dramatic." (Gramophone, 2008)

"Palestrina is not celebrated for the amorousness or intimacy of his music, but on the evidence of this disc, maybe he should be. The vocalists exude a dreamy warmth while the engineering captures every sibilant." (BBC Music Magazine, 2008)
