"Ergriffen ist man schon, wenn The Sixteen nach einer halben Stunde die Messe in einem hymnischen Agnus Dei verklingen lassen ... Neben der Messe finden sich auf dieser CD noch zehn Motetten, eine interessanter als die andere ... die noch einmal die Satzkünste des Komponisten und die Darstellungs-qualitäten des Ensembles vorführt".

"In these performances there are fine examples of large-scale architectural sense, as in the driving clarity of Surge illuminare, and of textural sensitivity in the brilliantly perky imitation of the 'Sicut erat' section of the Magnificat ... The singing throughout is well-blended and precisely tuned".

"Highlighting not only Palestrina's artistry but also some of his lesser-known works. As always the singing is impeccable".

"For all the poignancy of the work's minor-mode cast, The Sixteen turn in a spirited, at times even sprightly performance; the triple-time sections fairly trip along, at times perhaps too much so - the "Hosianna" is almost breathless".
