November 2013
The small string ensemble of Oxford Baroque plays the Praeludium with a juxtaposition of sensuousness and decorum...The choir's interjections are fantastically articulate - with gentle use of inégales, gorgeously shaped ornamental cadences and sincere delivery of the texts.

What a marvellous choice guest soprano Robyn Allegra Parton is as Caecilia. She sings with real clarity and a beautiful smooth tone yet manages to convey both piety and vulnerability. Also worthy of special praise is the refreshing radiance of the trebles of the Chorus Angelorum.
