1001 Classical recordings you must hear before you die (pre 1700)
50 GREATEST RECORDINGS OF ALL TIME (No 26) - BBC MUSIC
"If you have never heard this music before, you will wonder how music so beautiful could have passed you by. And if you are familiar with Allegri and company, this masterful performance will not disappoint. Heaven on a disc." (1001)
"This is a disc which has attained something approaching classic status over the years, and rightly so. It was the start of a long, and happily continuing, series of splendid recordings by this group. I'm delighted that this CD is now available at budget price and I hope that this will stimulate interest among a new generation of collectors. In the quarter of a century since it first appeared (and that's quite a scary thought!) there have been innumerable fine recordings of early and polyphonic vocal music by the Tallis Scholars and by many other equally fine ensembles. However, these performances still stand out from the crowd as benchmarks of excellence." MusicWeb
