Awards Issue 2012

Words like 'exciting' and 'adventurous' do not readily associate themselves with any of the choral pieces on this disc but these uniformly excellent performances do not merely induce a deeply satisfying sense of well-being, they also occasionally send the hairs on the back of the neck rising.

December 2012

There’s a good deal to enjoy here though the quality of the musical invention is uneven...As you’d expect, the performances by Tenebrae are consistently excellent so in that respect Will Todd’s music has been well served - it’s just a pity that the programme is something of a mixed bag.
