"Das Vocalconsort Berlin hat dieses Extremwerk [Prophetiae Sibyllarum] unter Daniel Reuss eingespielt - nahezu makellos intoniert, in der Phrasierung am meist deklamatorischen Textvortrag orientiert, klanglich reich moduliert zwischen Verschmelzung und Stimmcharakteristik ... Die CD wird ergänzt mit Motetten aus dem Weihnachtsfestkreis, leuchtend vielstimmigen Prunkstücken bis zum zehnstimmigen Magnificat, die einen ganz anderen Komponisten zeigen".

"The Ensemble negotiates the difficulties of this Mass very effectively, from the poised "conversations" between pairs of voices throughout, to the endless melismas of the Benedictus".

"I feel he saves the best until last with the Mass's superb Agnus dei. I might hanker after a little less haze about the acoustic and more presence and definition to the voices as recorded, but such a cavil shouldn't obscure a warm recommendation".

"Vocalconsort Berlin's approach is most comparable to The Brabant Ensemble's for Hyperion, though the deeper acoustic imparts a bigger sound ... Daniel Reuss's direction tends towards smooth lines and seamless transitions, an approach that obviously corresponds to the ensemble's sound ... As an introduction to a sybiline, not to say sphinx-like work, this may be the best we've got, but the search for a fully realised interpretation goes on".
