"The performance of La Terre captured here must be counted a success of near-miraculous proportions. The BBCSO and Brabbins could have been forgiven if they had played Brahms and Tchaikovsky in the rest of the concert, but no, they included more Ferneyhough! ... Without any doubt the current release is of the highest importance in its own right, a jewel in NMC's already glittering crown and should advance the standing of Brian Ferneyhough everywhere as one of the leading composers of today".

"La Terre [is] one of the most remarkable orchestral achievements of the last half-century ... The effect is massive and mesmerisingly overwhelming, punctuated by rare moments of piercing clarity, when the music thins to a single line, or a becalmed, beautifully chilly chord ... An exceptionally rewarding collection".

"Editor's choices - March 2018: An uncanny allure permeates all four works here: the shifting, surrealist soundscape of La Terre est un Homme is as mesmerising as it is unsettling, whilst the dozen singers of EXAUDI acquit themselves magnificently in the forbidding but compelling Missa brevis from 1969, taking the assault-course of extended vocal techniques in their stride to create a tapestry of stark, strange beauty".

"Editor's choice: The BBC SO never shirk that lightness of touch which makes listening a pleasure, while Martyn Brabbins directs with calm authority and, above all, a belief in this music's potency. Ferneyhough's 75th birthday could not have been more fittingly marked".

"Brian Ferneyhough eilt der Ruf voraus, ein unbarmherzig komplexer Tonsetzer zu sein. Dass seine Musik aber vor allem von einer komplexen Expressivität her gedacht ist, macht diese in vielerlei Hinsicht beeindruckende britische Einspielung klar. Im Liber Scintillarum präsentiert das ensemble Recherche ein fiebriges Gewirr aus expressiven Schlaglichtern ... Die frühe Missa Brevis wird vom Vokalensemble EXAUDI ungemein kraftvoll und sprechend ausgestaltet".
