"including the glorious Aurora lucis rutilat for two 5-part choirs, and the Magnificat, based on the motet, plus Mark Brown's fine performance of the 4-part Requiem"
"extraordinary range of musical effects...from pure homphony, sometimes spiced with plangent dissonance, to counterpoint of some complexity...The four voices blend well and produce a rich and vibrant tone. Speeds...well chosen, stately and consistent, and this combined with small voices allows the detail of the music to be heard with admirable clarity...Each singer, and how expert they are...firmly positioned and spaced between the loudspeakers."
