"Best of all is the wonderful sonority of the eight-voice a cappella bookends, the Six Anthems and the setting of Psalm 43, Richte mich, Gott. And Winpenny's organ solo is of a comparable splendour." (Gramophone)

"on their showing here, St Albans Abbey Girls Choir can stand comparison with the best boys' choirs, even if their sound is slightly different...Throughout, great care has obviously been taken over words and phrasing. The purity and steadiness of the girls' voices are in themselves utterly delightful, but they do mean that any unsteadiness elsewhere stands out" (BBC Music)

"The Three Motets for female voices and organ, Op. 39, are performed with a pleasing freshness...Best of all is the wonderful sonority of the eight-voice a cappella bookends, the Six Anthems and the setting of Psalm 43, Richte mich, Gott. And Winpenny's organ solo is of a comparable splendour." (Gramophone)
