The BBC Singers under Odaline de la Martinez perform brilliantly. They are fearless in their ability to transform Ferneyhough's vocal lines into music. The disc expects a lot of both singers and listeners." (MusicWeb june 2007)
"The disc was made in association with the BBC; utilising recordings made over a two year period. This is another example of how the BBC seem to be opening up their catalogue of recordings.
The BBC Singers under Odaline de la Martinez perform brilliantly. They are fearless in their ability to transform Ferneyhough's vocal lines into music. The disc expects a lot of both singers and listeners. But as I said earlier, the sense of struggle seems to be integral to the pieces. Don't buy this disc if you are looking for easy listening. But in a world where contemporary classical music seems to be increasingly minimal or post-Modern, Ferneyhough's brand of maximal modernism acts as a beacon to us all."
