" Strongly recommended. Raymond Tuttle - Fanfare - March/April 2014

*** (Good Album) Xavier de Gaulle - Classica magazine - February 2014

Critic’s Choice Paul McCreesh’s new performance has properly international credentials. Britten famously wrote the solo parts for a Russian, an English and a German singer, and while the trio here is completely British, the 170-voice chrous mixes with seven British aggregations with Poland’s Wroclaw Philharmonic Choir, with which McCreesh has enjoyed a strong professional association. There’s the requisite sense of occasion here, too, with the spacious Watford acoustic asserting itself grandly in the big liturgical pages of the score but never obscuring the subtle details of the Chamber-scored Owen poetry. Tenor John Mark Ainsley and baritone Chirstopher Maltman are compellingly eloquent Owen surrogates Patrick Dillon - Opera News magazine - February 2014
