"The singers are ideal for the repertoire, unaffected voices with the mutual rapport of lay-clerks - as two of them have been. Rodrigo del Pozo has a colourful but easy high-tenor voice, Nicholas Perfect a remarkable resonance at the bottom of his range." BBC Music Magazine, July 2007 *****
"Charivari Agréable [trans. 'pleasant tumult'] has carved something of a niche for itself in imaginative and well-thought-out programming. Its work is the fruit of both scholarly research and charismatic musicianship, a combination that puts it at the forefront of period-instrument ensembles" BBC Music Magazine
Charivari Agréable present an imaginative new disc themed around their home town of Oxford. They are joined by a formidable line-up of singers including Rodrigo del Pozo, Simon Beston and Nicholas Perfect, to present a programme of 17th Century domestic devotional anthems and psalms by some of the greatest British composers of all time.
