"What Cinquecento gives us is the best of worlds, giving Palestrina's melodic lines and harmonies great clarity, not adding complexity but communicating the words and music with an elegance of phrasing and a feel for the dynamic flow of the music that is entirely natural ... This is the kind of recording that provides a total-immersion listening experience. Don't expect the extremes of Gesualdo or even Monteverdi in this music, but allow it to enter your spiritual being and you will emerge on the other side renewed and with life's little problems firmly put in perspective".

"Cinquecento specialises in performing music from the 1500s ... Using one voice to a part (as was common practice in 16th-century Rome), the ensemble is lucid and detailed. An ensemble of adult male singers ... throws the weight on the dusky colours of Palestrina's palette and also lends robustly virile quality to the sound. The second book of Lamentations has been surprisingly overlooked on commercial recording ... Cinquecento's reading is ... subtly nuanced and their unwavering vocal production is cleaner and more incisive".

"Cinquecento - like a European chapel choir of the Renaissance - brings together a fine selection of singers from across the continent, forming a true European union. Their performance of these Lamentations adheres closely to the text, balancing each madrigalian nuance within the overall phrase architecture ... Throughout this album Cinquecento offer a performance which is truly reflective and tender".
