Awards and reviews
January 2013
The use of single voices takes on the atmosphere of refined domestic devotional music, ideal for In guilty night by Robert Ramsey...Les Voix Baroques also excel in Purcell's more famous setting that offers greater dramatic intensity.
December 2012
The performances are almost ideal. The singers generally avoid vibrato - except Yulia Van Doren and Robert MacDonald now and then, mainly in solo episodes - and that results in the often daring harmony coming across perfectly...Without wanting to wrong any of the singers, for me Charles Daniels especially stands out for his subtle expression, also due to his immaculate diction and stylish ornamentation.
