"A landmark: a wholly original approach to the secular music of the 14th century, done with energy and flair. The high voices decorate the polyphonic lines with almost whooping abandon; intonation is incisively pure and rhythms are buoyant ... This is a hugely enjoyable and accomplished performance".

"Choral & song choice: This is an impressive first recording from the Sollazzo Ensemble".

"Editor's choice: This has to be one of the most exciting and engaging releases of medieval song in recent years ... The Sollazzo Ensemble are formed of three voices, two vielles and a harp ... The singers use a variety of techniques to engage and communicate, from beautiful clear phrasing to crisp, expressive consonants ... Every performance on this disc is illuminating, considered and committed ... Vivien Simon's gloriously clear tenor voice is absolutely bewitching".
