Reviews
“I can’t think of a better collection of music for Easter.” – Musicweb-International
” … This recording is every bit as desirable as its predecessors. … The Choir, subtlety modulated by conductor Graham Ross, spins a wonderfully fluid, mellifluous texture. … These are, all told, performances of real quality and intelligence, by a choir which has carved a highly distinctive niche for itself amid the Oxbridge scramble’” 4.5 stars – BBC Music Magazine
“Clare College Choir set the gold standard for mixed collegiate choirs and maintains its prowess in this disc of Easter music. … Matthew Martin’s new setting of Haec dies, ear-catching and spirited, receives its world-premiere recording. Rachmaninov’s Dnes’ spaseniye has a dark resonance, complemented by the full harmonies of Samuel Wesley’s Blessed be God and Father. … Dic nobis Maria by the Venetian Giovanni Bassano goes with a real swing and might have been composed yesterday.” – The Guardian
