"The highly congenial sound environment of the Chapel of St. Augustine at Tonbridge School in Kent is a major draw here, and in general, this anniversary celebration is likely to draw new listeners to the Vasari Singers".

"I think I'm right in saying that back in the spring of 1980 the founder members of the Vasari Singers were members of the London Symphony Chorus, keen to sing smaller-scale music as well. At that stage they probably had no expectation that the choir would still be around forty years later, but that's what happened and this disc is a fine celebration of the choir's first four decades. I hope the Vasari Singers will continue to flourish for many years to come, and in particular that they'll continue to champion the music of today's composers".

"The Vasari Singers shimmer and shine in celebration of their 40th anniversary. It's a starry line-up of composers, too, including Gabriel Jackson and Roxanne Panufnik as two of the highlights".

"One of the UK's best amateur chamber choirs, the group has a light, youthful sound that lends itself well to pieces designed to glow, to radiate, to shimmer ... There are some interesting lesser-known anthems here. Cecilia McDowall's Aurea luce is a slow-grower ... Judith Weir's Like to the falling of a star brings a welcome hit of rhythm to a programme dominated by meditative stillness".
