"For all lovers of British 20th Century music in general and choral music in particular this release is a cause for considerable celebration. More than fifty five years after its bedevilled premiere Arthur Bliss's great choral work The Beatitudes gets its first commercial recording ... Chandos have recorded much Bliss over the years to great and good effect and this disc joins that valued catalogue of significant recordings. In my opinion this is one of Andrew Davis's most valuable recordings ... Well worth the wait of over half a century".

"There is no doubting Sir Andrew Davis's grasp of The Beatitudes, and he steers a broadly authoritative performance, with incisive, committed playing from the BBC Symphony Orchestra ... Davis's punchy, urgent account of the Introduction and Allegro ... is useful as this is another piece not easy to come by on record".

"The Beatitudes was destined to be overshadowed by Britten's War Requiem ... Andrew Davis clearly has a peculiar empathy for this music and the clean edges of Bliss's orchestral palette, complemented by some lovely playing from the BBC SO and the two soloists, Emily Birsan and Ben Johnson".
