"Owens and the Wells Cathedral Choir have built a very strong reputation, not just for the quality of their singing but also for their enterprise in commissioning significant new liturgical music. Both those traits are on display here. The performances are excellent and the recording captures the performances expertly".

"It is not an easy piece to sing convincingly. There is, though, nothing at all tentative about this fervently committed performance by the Wells Cathedral Choir, a group with special connections to Tavener ... Preces and Responses¸ the other work new to CD, elicits a reverently tender reading, with especially affecting contributions from the boy and girl choristers ... A moving programme, devotedly sung and sensitively directed by Matthew Owens".
