BBC music magazine2014 SeptemberafafAnthony Pryer2014 September"It is these last item [Songs of songs] that come across best ... The Iam Christus Mass is fine in a generalised choral kind of way, but the plainsong on which it is based is a tricky, mendering melody which creates problems of shaping and direction".
The gramophone2014 SeptemberafafFabrice Fitch2014 September"The energy that The Sixteen bring to their Palestrina is admirable, though I continue to hope for a surprise in the format to keep the series on its toes".
International record review2014 SeptemberafafIvan Moody (f. 1964)2014 September"A fine collection centred on the theme of Pentecost ... The singers certainly sound as though they are enjoying it, as indeed they do all the music on this disc ... The Sixteen clearly relishes this music ... and makes a very good case for it becoming as popular in performance as some of the better-known settings".
