BBC music magazine2016 AugustafafAnthony Pryer2016 August"As always with The Sixteen we get a superb tuning, balanced ensemble work and a lively pace ... Less happy are the rather mechanical performances of Laetatus sum and Laudate pueri".
BBC music magazine2018 AugustafafAnthony Pryer2018 August"Christophers tells us that the basic approach here is to allow the performers to 'speak through singing', and to treat the changes of time and metre 'intuitively' rather than with scholarly over-caution. This certainly gives a sense of liveliness to Nisi Dominus II with its freely recited 'Gloria Patri' ... The freedoms are a little too individualised, however, in the Laetatus sum".
The gramophone2018 JuneafafDavid Vickers2018 June"Monteverdi published two monumental collections of church music ... The Sixteen and Harry Christophers complete their two-volume survey of the entire book with eimpeccable performances of six Vespers psalms and the Mass for Four Voices. The latter was recorded many moons ago by an earlier incarnation of the choir, and Christophers's approach now transmits all sorts of leaner, more sharply focused and declamatory elements - not least pivotal continuo realisations of theorbo, harp and organ firmly at the forefront and a significantly lower pitch giving the music richer sonorities".
