"There's a great deal of variety in the 1588 collection, and David Skinner and his team duly vary their performing style ... Checks against some other very fine recordings of Byrd have, however, sufficiently confirmed my initial impression that David Skinner and his team can stand comparison with and emerge as complementary to my older favourites ... This has to be the prime recommendation".

"Choral & song choice: The real beauty of these readings ... is the singers' poetic nuancing of the texts, which they articulate with glassy clarity. The members of Fretwork play with characteristic grace, weaving gossamer textures around the voices. In sum, the performances, masterminded by scholar and director David Skinner, are a delight from start to finish".

"Published in 1588, 'Psalmes, Sonets, & Songs' was Byrd's first English-texted collection ... Variety is built in; and as one expects from these interpreters, the performances are seldom less than immaculate. The vocalists do especially well ... The standout is mezzo Martha McLorinan, who deals admirably with 'Lullaby, my sweet little baby' and 'Come to me grief forever' ... Will this cast go on to record Byrd's two subsequent English-texted collections? Let's hope so, for overall this is a very fine start".
