"If I were Morten Lauridsen and my work was in the artistic care of a choir like the Elora Festival Singers I would feel that my creative vision was in exceptionally good hands. Although O nata lux (a movement from the larger work Lux aeterna) and O magnum mysterium have been recorded numerous times, they never have been done better - or more movingly - than here ... As with the Madrigali, this last cycle [Mid-winter songs] - from 1983 - is among Lauridsen's more technically demanding choral works, and again, although you can find several other recordings of it from very fine choirs, none surpasses this virtuosic performance, admirably partnered by pianist Leslie De'Ath ... Highly recommended".

"O nata lux (O light born of light) is certainly beguiling, with a smoothly contoured vocal line that conceals moments of genuine repose ... The four Rilke settings would offer more of a challenge. There is some nimble singing here ... O magnum mysterium, the piece that had attracted me to Morten Lauridsen in the first place ... is rather lovely ... Lauridsen fans will probably flock to buy this disc".
