"The Akademie establishes the poignancy of atmosphere at the start, and all the performances are stylish and emotionally in keeping."
(Daily Telegraph)
"This latest recording is notable for Bernarda Fink's rich, velvety singing of the alto solos, although "historically aware" fanatics may now find her plush timbre a shade too fruity for a sacred work...This is an attractive programme and Fink fans won't be disappointed."
(Sunday Times)
"The Akademie establishes the poignancy of atmosphere at the start, and all the performances are stylish and emotionally in keeping."
(Daily Telegraph)
"Anna Prohaska's bright-to-the-point-of-glaring soprano contrasts well with Bernarda Fink's dark alto in the solos...[Forck] does remind you how forceful its confrontation with mortality is, and how much is gained when sentiment is stripped away."
(Guardian)
"Bernhard Forck and the orchestra balance the various emotions with skill...[the Salve Regina] is an attractive piece of no great profundity."
(Gramophone)
