♦ “A cracking album to which I’ll be returning frequently. The choir’s tuning in the a cappella pieces is superb…The Elysian Singers have done the choral world a favour.” (Choir and Organ)
♦ “A thoughtful sequence of interesting pieces, sung by the Elysian Singers with their usual control and elegance, under the leadership of the excellent Sam Laughton.” (theartsdesk.com)
♦ “There is so much to enjoy on this disc, and the variation in styles makes it captivating. A rich tapestry of musical gems, all of which have been well chosen and curated. The Elysian Singers impress with their grace, masterfully judging and executing the dynamics, intonation, and control.” (North East Post)
