"Jaime Martín turns to the shorter choral works for the second instalment of his Brahms survey ... At its best, the new disc is comparably impressive, with performances of great lucidity and refinement ... There's not a trace of stolidity anywhere: clarity is paramount, which in turn dictates the disc's considerable strengths as well as its occasional weaknesses. Martín expertly teases out the orchestral textures ... The choral singing, meanwhile, is exceptional in its control and balance, the counterpoint wonderfully clear and vivid".
