"Another bull's-eye hit from John Butt's Dunedin Consort ... There are interesting textual changes, the playing and singing are terrific, and Butt creates a very convincing congregational hymn with organ flourishes".

"Et livligt album, som i dobbelt forstand udgør et alternativ ... Først og fremmest giver det en ekstra dimension, at de fire motetter synges på tysk midt inde i det latinske værk ... Gardiners særkende er, at han giver alle satser en rytmisk karakteristik, som gør dem dansende og kort sagt "fede" ... Måske er Gardiners valg af unge stemmer et værn mod selv at blive ældre. Men bevidst er valget ... Hans orkester spiller blændende godt".

"Gardiner's step-out soloists are consistently strong, and their varied contributions mirror the alluring array of affects achieved by the ensemble as a whole. The momentum, clarity and texture and incisive lines of the Mass in F establishes the assured tone of the programme".

"Editor's choice: Even if the members of the Monteverdi Choir aren't singing off the book, as they and other vocal ensembles have done in recent years, they sound liberated from the score. The fugues are tight without being regimented; indeed, Gardiner's old recording sounds a little stiff by comparison, even if it set a standard at the time which this new recording supersedes".

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "As usual the forces are small-scale ... The Magnificat itself is exciting, fresh and faultlessly paced ... so many interpretative decisions here seem the right ones ... The sound is a treat for the ear; the vocal soloists are lucid and distinctive, so that altogether this vital performance is not just a genuinely fascinating new slant on a familiar masterpiece ... but a joyous re-encounter with an old friend".
