Nomination for BBC Music magazine Choral Award 2019

BBC Music magazine – February 2019

“… No vast forces, but McCreesh and his singers impress with their stylistic versatility and colour.” ****½

Tony Way - Limelightmagazine.com - 19 November 2018

"...The performances leave nothing to be desired in technical proficiency, beauty of tone, and sensitivity of execution. I suspect that each of the singers could be a credible soloist, but they fully understand the more self-effacing artistry of choral singing. McCreesh's interpretations are spot on, be it the sublimity of 16th-Century polyphony or the varies expressive palette of the modern pieces."

William J Gatens – American Record Guide – November/December 2018

Editor's Choice - Vocal Section

"... exquisitely crafted recital of English Marian motets and Magnificats from the Gabrieli Consort and Paul McCreesh. The vogue for pairing Renaissance and contemporary choral works is well established but this is a programme that draws the dialogue between the two repertories into fresh animation... McCreesh's ear for a contemporary classic is unerring, and this is a programme to win new audiences for composers who aren't (yet) household names..."

Alexandra Coghlan - Gramophone magazine - July 2018

“…The wide experience of McCreesh’s singers … puts them in a good place to embrace a varied programme… there are real highlights among the modern tracks, which include Howell’s contrasting “Salve Regina”, full of elation, and an ambitious new choral piece, A Rose Magnificat, by Matthew Martin, which gives this appealing collection its title.” ****
