"The recorded sound is first rate with the choir nicely balanced both internally and against the organ." (MusicWeb May 2009)
"I first encountered these performers a couple of years ago when I reviewed a very fine CD of music by Francis Pott. Now they turn their attention to Herbert Howells.
I love Howells' music and I have collected many CDs of his music over the years. However, this Signum disc is extremely valuable because, instead of including yet another version of Like as the Hart, the Collegium Regale music or A Spotless Rose, it presents a collection of much less familiar pieces. As the title of the collection implies the pieces are not major compositions in the way that, say, the Rhapsodies are. The longest of them lasts less than six minutes. The longest of them lasts less than six minutes. The recorded sound is first rate with the choir nicely balanced both internally and against the organ." (MusicWeb May 2009)
