Three classic Gothic Voices albums: A FEATHER ON THE BREATH OF GOD, THE SERVICE OF VENUS AND MARS and A SONG FOR FRANCESCA

'Another superlatively beautiful recording from Gothic Voices'
(Hi Fi News for the Service of Venus and Mars)

'It's a treasure'
(Fanfare, USA for the Service of Venus and Mars)

'The music is fascinating. Readers interested in trying medieval repertoire could hardly do better than start here'
(Penguin Guide to Compact Discs for the Service of Venus and Mars)

'I was spellbound by both the music and the presentation … and have remained so ever since'
(Gramophone for "A feather on the breath of god")

'Very, very beautiful. High loveliness like this is not common'
(Hi Fi News for "A feather on the breath of god")

'An outright winner that merits a place in every collection'
(The Good CD Guide for "A feather on the breath of god")

'This remains the prime example of Von Bingen's astounding creativity and originality. Her expressive, often awesome music ranks as the greatest of medieval composers. It's already sold over 200,000 copies! If you missed it, there's no reason to hesitate. Sensational!'
(In Tune, Japan for "A feather on the breath of god")

'A jewel in Hyperion's crown'
(Gramophone for "A feather on the breath of god")

'The Hyperion recording is a model of its kind'
(The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs for A Song for Francesca)

'Another of Gothic Voices' beautifully planned medieval programmes'
(The Observer for A Song for Francesca)

'Performances which stimulate the mind and invariably cosset the ear ... these vibrant performances are matched by a fine recording in the Hyperion tradition'
(Gramophone for A Song for Francesca)

'Another tresure-trove for those who want to explore the neglected beauties of late medieval music'
(American Record Guide for A Song for Francesca)
