"The RIAS Chamber Choir produce a fine quality of homogenous tone and, under Marcus Creed, show themselves fully responsive to both words and music...a strong recommendation." Gramophone on the Brahms Motets
"I found the performances full of lively charm. Ingrid Seifert, the first violin, is thoroughly at home in this music and gives an assured account of it. Ensemble is nicely balanced and I found the presence of a violone, as well as cello and organ, to be effective." Gramophone on the Mozart Church Sonatas
"This record is a 'must' for anyone interested in the early development of Western music. It is a beautiful and stirring record, which makes one look forward eagerly to further fruits of his admirable work." Gramophone on the Byzantine Chants
