"The Gabrieli's latest themed CD, beautifully produced in all respects, celebrates the concision and intensity of 20th-century British part songs ... The effect is arresting, and typical of the attention to text and score demonstrated by Paul McCreesh and his singers in each of these songs. Probably best in small doses. These miniatures are rich, each in need of proper savouring".

"Paul McCreesh here ventures into the English part song repertoire - somewhat unexpected territory for him - and he does so in a most interesting way ... The singing is consistently excellent throughout ... This is a perceptively assembled programme of marvellous English part songs. The music is nicely varied and every piece is highly rewarding. Without exception the performances are superb".

"Editor's choices - Oktober 2017: This is a real box of delights: McCreesh and the Gabrielis neither short-change nor overegg the lavish bill of fare on offer, and the folkish charm of MacMillan's The Gallant Weaver and Brigg Fair are especially well judged. Were there so much as a hint of cobwebs (there isn't), the virtuoso performance of Who killed Cock-Robin would blow them away".

"Choral & song choice: Sometimes the best discoveries in music aren't pieces that you've never heard before, but those you have, made new by remarkable interpretations ... At the recital's heart is a breath-catching performance of James MacMillan's Burns setting The Gallant Weaver ... This is a beautifully constructed programme, sung with consummate assurance and self-effacing artistry".

"With such highly performed music there's much to be said for performances that keep things clean, understated. The musical care and the easy, unforced shaping of lines from the Gabrielis is all the ornament works like Elgar's 'There is sweet music' and Howells's 'The summer is coming' need ... The result is a clever mixture of moods ... A disc that takes the part-song into the 21st century not only in repertoire but also in style.
