"Choral & song choice: This is ravishing ... Webber and the Choir of Gonville & Caius, Cambridge, shimmer and scintillate in conveying Anderson's broad musical and emotional palette. It is clear that all involved have the kind of deep familiarity with these pieces that enables a sense of freshness and spontaneity, captured marvellously by Delphian in the beautiful acoustic of the chapel at Merton College, Oxford ... The disc as a whole is a feast for the ears".

"Anderson gives full weight to the sense of wonder that religious beliefs can inspire ... Sung by an outstanding Cambridge choir (with female rather than boys voices) and sensitively recorded in an Oxford chapel, the result is tremendously rewarding ... The music is never more arresting than when imaginatively exploiting distinctions between the community - the choir as a collective entity - and individual solo voices, or when evoking bell-like resonance to maximum dramatic effect".
