"Vurdering: BBC music choice" - "Meunier creates a convincing survey of works performed on the occasion ... Vox Luminis follow their conductor's unsentimental lead, sparing in their use of vibrato and eternally wedded to immaculate intonation and articulation ... Meunier and his musicians travel far beyond the bounds of studio recording to forge a strong impression of the ritual surrounding a royal burial".

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "It is a carefully themed programme ... offering some of 17th-century England's finest music; but much thought has clearly gone into the performances as well ... One might call it a classically 'English' choral sound - but any suspicions of coolness are easily dispelled by the commitment shown to the meaning of both music and text ... Once again, Vox Luminis have touched the heart with their calm interpretative intelligence and vocal beauty".
