8-10 September 2003

…this one is one of the best period-instruments performances I have heard. The brass are especially glorious, and the other sections are smoothly played and contribute to the celebratory nature of the performance. The soloists are all very good. The Collegium 90 choral ensemble is very well trained by Richard Hickox. Chandos offers good notes and a superbly balanced recording that is not too distant but has a pleasant airiness. In short this of one of my favourite recordings of the year.

American Record Guide

'…this is a fine recording of music that deserves to be better known and more regularly performed.'

Early Music Review

'As with the previous disc in this series, Richard Hickox and his expert forces bring their usual mix of freshness, rhythmic élan and sensitivity to this attractive, often impressive work. Choir and orchestra respond eagerly to the conductor's enthusiastic direction. And the soloists, led by the ever-eloquent Susan Gritton, interact and blend with true chamber musical finesse.'

BBC Music Magazine

'The Blackheath Concert Hall recording is full and clear: this is shaping up to be an outstanding series.'

Gramophone

Hickox does all he can with the music, shaping it tautly and eliciting involved, spirited singing and playing. The soloists are excellent, Chandos’s recorded sound is what we’ve come to expect from the company – rich, warm, reverberant, but not muddy. Informative notes and full texts accompany the disc.
