"Editors choices - May 2018: A peerlessly sung collection of Marian music from the first and second 'Golden Ages' of English choral music; the gently glowing settings of Ave maris stella from Owain Park and James MacMillan will surely attract the attention of other top-notch choirs, but the high point of the recording is surely Matthew Martin's virtuosic Rose Magnificat, the ecstatic climax of which shows off the full-blooded Gabrieli sopranos in all their glory".

"Choral & song choice: Sweet tuning and subtle dynamic distinctions mark James MacMillan's Ave maris stella, with gleamingly pure-toned contributions from the soprano ... Technically the most difficult piece is probably Matthew Martin's A Rose Magnificat ... It is daily meat and drink to the superlative Gabrieli choir, who give a formidably encompassing performance ... Another outstanding issue from this outstanding team".

"Editor's choice: 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. The Park and Lane, along with MacMillan's Ave maris stella, are easy wins but it's Martin's A Rose Magnificat that demands a second and third return to the disc".
