"It is not an easy piece to sing convincingly. There is, though, nothing at all tentative about this fervently committed performance by the Wells Cathedral Choir, a group with special connections to Tavener ... Preces and Responses¸ the other work new to CD, elicits a reverently tender reading, with especially affecting contributions from the boy and girl choristers ... A moving programme, devotedly sung and sensitively directed by Matthew Owens".
