5-7 July 2012

"... an excellent inrodution to this little known figure ..."

Barnaby Rayfield - Fanfare - July/August 2013

"... The recording is almost faultless and the Psalm especially has grown on me. The open-minded will find much to reward their investment in this disc."

Gary Higginson - MusicWeb-International.com - 10 June 2013

**** - Good

Guy Engels - Pizzicato magazine - June 2013

“... both works are admirable on their own terms. Petrassi makes his points with bold strokes of color and a flair for vivid communication. Both are hard to resist What Chandos has done here should be an object lesson to every label thinking of pulling the forgotten or unfamiliar out of mothballs. They Petrassi the best they had and would up making a convincing case for the value of his early choral fare. The playing and singing are strong, the soloist is fine, and everything comes together securely under Maestro Noseda’s baton. The engineers mix the ingredients together into powerful, room-filling sound, and the annotators give us texts and translations. Petrassi, in sum, gets nothing but the best, and so do we.”

Philip Greenfield – American Record Guide – May/June 2013

"... The Psalm is a real discovery and Chandos has done all those interested in Talian music of the twentieth century a real sevice in recording it."

Ivan Moody - International Record Review - April 2013

Choc de Classica

Michel Fleury – Classica magazine – May 2013

Music **** (Very Good) Sound ****(Very Good)

Thomas Schulz – Fono Forum magazine – May 2013

***** - Exceptional

Giuseppe Rossi - Musica magazine - April 2013

" The performances by the forces of Teatro Regio, Turin, are committed and persuasive Excellent sound makes this a thoroughly recommendable release and I hope Chandos and Noseda go on to give us more choral Petrassi, such as Coro di morte and the late Orationes Christi."

Guy Rickards - Gramophone magazine - March 2013

BBC Music – Choral & Song Choice

Performance ***** Recording *****

“..Petrassi shows exhilarating mastery in handling large forces She [Sabina Cvilak] sounds sweet, warm, and electrifying when required, and Noseda directs his Turin forces with authority and understanding of these powerful works “

Calum MacDonald – BBC Music magazine – March 2013
