"Recording of the month: The "moments" in question are differing scenes from many of the masques (I think I can count fifteen) performed in London over an extended period from c. 1605 in the reign of James 1st through the period of the court of Charles 1st ... The whole process has been designed and thought out with great skill by Elizabeth Kenny, aided and abetted by the wonderful musicianship of her supporters ... The whole disc has offered this reviewer much joy ... [and] will no doubt be one of my highlights of 2017".

"Sophie Daneman's sensuous soprano offsets the boyish voice of the 15-year-old Rosanna Wicks, while the airy trebles of Salisbury Cathedral Choir balance the earthier tones of the lay clerks and male soloists ... The instrumental playing ... is full of flair and improvisatory spirit".

"The brainchild of lutenist Elizabeth Kenny, The Masque of Moments, draws together songs, dances and ensembles from Campion, Johnson, Lawes and Locke ... into a brand new masque complete with its own narrative ... Kenny has assembled a crack team. The lute-playing ... is, as you'd expect, gloriously skilful and varied in texture ... and the violins ... making rough magic of the many anonymous dances. Soprano Sophie Daneman bring a career's worth of character to her contributions, and ... The Salisbury Cathedral trebles ... gives this recording such personality and charm".
