many of these Psalm-settings will evoke nostalgia from musically senisitive Anglicans organ support is excellent Lindsay Koob - American Record Guide - November/December 2013

The Choir of St John’s, Elora, director Noel Edison and organist Michael Bloss are at it again, with a new Naxos release titled Psalms and Motets for Reflection, a fine collection of Anglican music that is worth the attention of even the most adamant non-believer. When done well—as it is here—there is a wonderfully elastic yet predictable cadence to the singing that is as conducive to relaxing a tortured soul The choir is beautifully balanced and Bloss does a fine job in colouring the organ accompaniments. The overall audio quality is warm, soft-edged and clear. Turn down the lights, switch off the mobile devices, and enjoy. John Terauds - Musical Toronto - March 2013

"This is an exceptional and very handy collection of international choral motets and psalms. I didn’t need another version of Tavener’s The Lamb, and you probably didn’t either, but it’s a marvelous and justly popular work. Everything else on this generously-filled disc is entirely welcome and hard to find elsewhere. The tracks are sensibly laid out to create a real sense of flow, and the quality of singing, organ playing, and interpretation is first-rate. Even if you don’t gravitate naturally to such a recording, you may find yourself captivated by the sheer tonal beauty of the works here. It’s especially interesting to look at the evolution of religious music over time, and how easily the Elora singers navigate the changing moods and texts.Noel Edison has proved himself to be one of the finest choral conductors working today. Each recording he and his choirs make is not only terrifically sung, but very well engineered. This disc is no exception. Balances between sections are superb, and the acoustics at the choirs’ home base in Ontario are equally so. Simply stunning." Brian Wigman - Classical Net - May 2013
