"Recording of the month: Chelys Consort had already made a very favourable impression on me with an earlier collection of music by Christopher Simpson ... and they give me no cause here to unsay anything that I wrote about them then ... Better still, the vocal items are in the very safe hands of Emma Kirkby ... This now becomes my top recommendation for a recording of Lachrimæ".

"Kirkby, with her half-a-century's experience in this repertoire, lends perceptive insights both to the poetic texts and the musical settings. Words are beautifully etched with a dark, inky tone that paints the music's various shades of blue. The vocal attack may not be as precise as it once was ... yet her voice retains its distinctively crystalline quality".

"If you're looking for the most beautiful recording of the Lachrimae, this is unquestionably it".
