"fine clarity of detail and an attractive freshness"
*** Three Stars Penguin Stereo Guide
"Hogwood defies what has become the custom in period performance and opts for large forces. The result, for all its weight, retains fine clarity of detail and an attractive freshness. The choir of New College, Oxford, with its trebles adds to the brightness of the choral sound, and the trio of soloists is admirably consistent - Emma Kirkby brightly distinctive, and Anthony Rolfe Johnson sweet-toned."
