"The 12 voices of Belgian ensemble Vox Luminis put their faith in tonal focus and sweetly balanced textures...their singing produces music-making of intimate, aching beauty." (Gramophone Award WINNER 2012: Record of the Year)

"The 12 voices of Belgian ensemble Vox Luminis put their faith in tonal focus and sweetly balanced textures. Though one might expect from that a certain coolness, their singing produces music-making of intimate, aching beauty. The recorded sound, gently resonant, is perfect...A marvellous disc."
(Gramophone Award WINNER 2012: Record of the Year)

"This is an exceptional new Schütz recording...the most completely satisfying version that I have ever heard of this extraordinary work...Meunier's pacing feels utterly natural, and both the inventiveness and meditative repose of Schütz's music comes across marvellously. In short, if you are looking for a recording of this beautiful and daring work, this new Ricercar disc is the one to choose."
