"Philippa Hyde is the well-chosen soloist...silvery-voiced, fluent, articulate, agile where necessary, vibrato-lite, she is a pleasure to hear."
(International Record Review)
"Hyde's exciting voice has a consistently warm, unfussy tone over a wide range. She sings without vibrato, strain on the high notes or contrived embellishments. Diction is mostly perfect...The group has the lightest touch in Pepusch's Smallcoal Sonata and a mesmeric grip on dance suites by Weldon and Matteis." (Classic FM)
