'Here's a vital and beautifully performed collection of modern a cappella choral music from a most excellent choir with a considerable recording history ... It's not a surprise that Mr Summerly and his choir can handle fiendishly difficult modern music with all of the skill, authority and pleasing sound they bring to early music. Hyperion comes through again with a superior booklet and enviable recording quality' (American Record Guide)
