'For Anyone who finds the textual/musical idiom of Ein deutsches Requiem difficult to accommodate, this mixture of sacred and secular pieces could serve as a way into the choral music of a very great composer.'
International Record Review
"Magnificent works, magnificently recorded. Should be in the collection of every classical music lover. Indispensable!"

'These receive lovely performances, beautifully sung and played and firmly shaped, in a sympthetic ambience.'
