"The music is truly extraordinary ... This music is also difficult, fiendishly so in the Rechants. It is no small thing, therefore, to say that, in terms of accuracy of pitch, harmony, rhythm and balance, this is the best sung performance on disc of these works, especially the Rechants. Moreover, it is all captured in marvellous surround sound. So why is it ultimately underwhelming? ... There is no such power, intensity or danger here and certainly no sense of ecstatic religious abandon".
