"This beautifully realised release from Tenebrae goes a long way to confirming their position as the one of - if not the - finest chamber choirs at work in Britain today ... The singing itself is marvellous throughout. When the sopranos sing alone the effect is bright, pearly and luminescent ... The tightness of the ensemble is a thing to marvel at".

"This new version is thoroughly professional and enjoyable ... The recording acoustic here is very deep and warm and there is a very pleasing distancing between the two male choirs in the antiphonal plainsong ... Regarding vocal quality, [Stile Antico] offers impeccable intonation, homogeneity and musicality ... No-one acquiring this new recording, paradoxically warmer in sound and cooler in execution, is likely to be disappointed by the performance here of this extraordinary music".

"Vurdering: BBC music choral song choice" - "This recording is the most nuanced and telling available. First there is the sheer sound of the ensemble: beautifully balanced and tuned with, at times (Caligaverunt oculi), an almost glassy perfection. Next there is an exceptional awareness of the different narrative voices ... Finally there is the seamless, architectural line ... This really is excellent".

"Stile Antico is a vastly experienced ensemble and projects these pieces with poise, technical finesse and nuance. Their account of Christ's betrayal by Peter (Jesum traditit), for example, captures wonderfully the fateful atmosphere of that event".

"Their [Tenebrae and Nigel Short] approach to what is possibly the most concentrated essence of the composer's work is correspondingly informed with musical intelligence. There is a careful shaping of lines throughout and very great care taken to shape the dramatic narrative of these liturgical and human masterpieces ... Competition is strong ... however, Tenebrae and Short bring their own vision to these remarkable pieces".

"Vurdering: Gramophone choice" - "A recording that strips all excess musical flesh aside, exposing the chilly bones of these penitential masterpieces ... The heart of the cycle - the imploring Si est Dolor - is almost impossibly charged, its balance of vocal fragility and tensile strength discovering the emotional paradox at the core of this music".

"Editor's choice: This has to be Stile Antico's best album to date: it's certainly their most gripping and, as ever with this ensemble, the vocal sound is sumptuous throughout ... It's rather thrilling therefore to hear Stile Antico, who often perform Renaissance polyphony calmly, tap in to the dramatic excitement and atmospheric intensity now associated with these works".
