"Editor's choice: Mauillon ... is especially well placed, vocally, to realise the quasi-improvisational, spiritual qualities of Lambert's sublimely conceived music ... He has chosen remarkable collaborators, each prepared to immerse themselves in the relationship between text and music ... The unwavering, honest quality of Mauillon's reedy voice - so suited to earlier music - works perfectly in this context, creating the sense of a cantus firmus on which the instrumentalists elaborate ... Might this release have laid down a new benchmark in the revival of 17th-century performing practices? I think so".
