"Once again, Edward Gardner shows that he excels in Szymanowski's rich orchestral tapestries. This performance mixes wild mystery with coruscating brillance ... All three vocal soloists are strong, yet it is especially the soprano Lucy Crowe who captures the radiant mysticism of the music".

"Vurdering: BBC music choice" - "Antoni Wit and his players undoubtedly have the measure of this music, but it is the singing of the soprano Iwona Hossa that lends this disc its special distinction ... This is a superb value".

"A performance that is judged to a nicety through Edward Gardner's wise, sensitive pacing and his subtle, supple summoning up of the music's devotional aura".

"What is beyond question (those pauses in the Stabat mater apart) is the effectiveness of the performances, with a particularly fine soprano soloist in Iwona Hossa. No problems with the recordings, either".
