"Vurdering: Recording of the month" - "Even if you have most of Purcell's music on disc in your collection you should not miss this 'sampler'. It includes some of the finest performances I have heard in recent years".

"Vurdering: BBC music choral song choice" - "This ... could hardly fail: eight beautifully integrated solo voices and the stylish strings, oboes , recorders and continuo of Les Inventions cherry-pick 14 pieces from the best of Purcell ... Every number here has something particularly arresting within it, all supported by persuasive and committed singing, and playing of intense charm".

"Voces8 here make use of their intermediate size ... to bring together what would normally be an unlikely Purcell vocal anthology ... There are times when I feel that interpretative tricks are missed ... but there is no doubting that this disc still offers a rich and enjoyable demonstration of Purcell's genius".
