"Vurdering: Recording of the month" - "Byrd [Ave verum corpus] ... receive a very fine performance, one which is beautifully balanced and controlled and in which Stile Antico sustain the line expertly. They're just as successful ... in Byrd's Five-part Mass, the movements of which are interspersed throughout the programme ... These fine young singers make Byrd's writing come alive - as they do the rest of the music on this disc ... This recital of glorious music, superbly performed, is a notable centenary celebration of the Carnegie Trust".

"Vurdering: Recording of the month" - "This magical disc was conceived as a tribute to a charitable trust. That it succeeds so triumphantly is mostly a tribute to the music and to the commitment of the artists who give their all in performing it ... Yet another feather in Stile Antico's already resplendent cap".

"Vurdering: Empfehlung des Monats" - "Stile Antico lässt es aber nicht bei technischer Perfektion und ansprechendem Wohlklang bewenden, sondern arbeitet ... mit Augenmass an Textnuancen. Das Resultat berührt Kopf und Herz gleichermassen".

"The expertise of the Stile Antico group in this repertory is not in doubt and, as always, these singers give us splendid performances. Gibbon's O Clap Your Hand, for example, has a sure-footed exuberance ... The overall effect is extremely professional and pleasing".

"There's a forthright quality to the voices of Stile Antico, and especially its sopranos, that suits this English repertoire, balancing beauty with an intensity that reminds us that this is the music of protest and oppression as well as faith".

"Vurdering: IRR outstanding" - "Its collective (conductorless) approach pays particular dividends in this repertoire where the music depends on an instinctive reaction from the individual singers ... Stile Antico presents it with a glorious and compelling freshness ... We have a release which in its own way is quite as wonderful as the original Carnegie-funded editions".
