“This well-constructed programme gets off to a charming start with Rejoice in the Lord alway ... The vocal soloists sound comfortable and focused here, as in the other sacred pieces…”

Fabrice Fitch - Gramophone magazine - December 2020

“…Musical standards are top notch. Christophers’ octet of singers and dozen strings, to which he adds a pair of recorders and a continuo of organ, harpsichord, theorbo and harp, may not be quite as many musicians as Purcell had at his disposal, but the spirited performances pack the necessary punch and there’s a winning clarity brought out in the orchestral and vocal textures… this is another fascinating and appealing release in a highly collectable series.” ****

Clive Paget – limelightmagazine.com.au – 12 November 2020
