"Philips is so skilful in writing antiphonal and echo effects that you could easily think you were listening to pieces for double choir...In this recording from 2002, Richard Marlow and his mixed-voice choir are excellent."
(Gramophone Oct 2010)
"their overall sound is warm and blended, with a soprano section sounding sweetly pure yet mature of tone. Ornamentation is sharply defined and lightly executed, and they have a wonderfully expansive dynamic and emotional range...it would be impossible to find a choir that could better their sheer togetherness of attack."
(BBC)

(Gramophone Oct 2010)
"...the choir's sensitivity, poise and purity of sound generate a deeply moving performance. Engineering deftly captures each nuance and heightening of musical gesture...This disc illuminates a legacy which, despite periodic longeurs, richly deserves a hearing."
(BBC Music)
"Philips encountered and absorbed a wide range of the influences circulating in western Europe towards the end of the 16th century...the best of his music is strikingly effective, and Richard Marlow and his Trinity College Choir respond impressively in those highlights."
(Guardian)
