"Vurdering: Recording of the month - Vurdering: BBC music choice" - "Nigel Short and Tenebrae have come up with a beautifully balanced and contrasted programme ... The beauty of sound and dignified expression of intensity that Tenebrae create in the opening of the first choral number, Bruckner's Virga Jesse, would be impressive in themselves but with the ear prepared by the first Aequilis the effect is even more telling ... What superb singing: technically immaculate, somehow lucid and voluptuously beautiful all at the same time".

"Tenebrae score on all points. They submit with impressive stamina and unfailing intonation to Bruckner's instrumental scoring and phrasing, which take little account of singers' reqirements for rest and oxygen ... In his spacious pacing and carefully moulded phrasing, Nigel Short reveals the thematic links".
