DR musik2014 uge 36By2014 uge 36"Vurdering: Ugens cd" - "Vær årvågen! Det betyder den latinske titel på Ugens Cd. Den indeholder musik fra reformationens tid i 1500-tallet, hvor kampen mellem katolikker og protestanter splittede Europa ... Heldigvis har Gardiner et virtuost kor, der kan realisere musikkens spidsfindigheder, for ikke at tale om dirigentens egne krav om tempo og artikulation".
MusicWeb international2014 JuneByByJohn Quinn (musikanmelder)2014 June"This set of performances offers a different perspective on this music compared to what one would experience from hearing a smaller consort sing it. I welcome both approaches and I find Gardiner and his superb choir are very persuasive and stimulating guides to this repertoire".Read review
BBC music magazine2014 AugustByByAnthony Pryer2014 August"The fairly large forces tend to produce an unusually robust sound for this repertoire, though musicality is never lost".
Fono Forum2014 AugustByByMatthias Hengelbrock2014 August"Das alles wirkt sehr gut und professionell gemacht, aber nicht wirklich empfunden ... So bleibt die vorliegende CD wohl eher etwas für eingefleischte Gardiner-Fans".
The gramophone2014 AugustByByFabrice Fitch2014 August"It is rare nowadays for the Monteverdi Choir to venture as early as the English Renaissance; and it equally rare to hear a motet recital of this period sung by an ensemble that is so audibly a mixed choir with a forceful personality at the helm ... Refreshing on one level, this very directed approach seems a throwback to another age".
