Recorded sound is especially ravishing, capturing Mechanics Hall's warm, yet detailed acoustic. Excellent notes and full texts. —L. Koob, American Record Guide
This is quite an astonishing competitor to such celebrated ensembles as The Sixteen . . . This disc will greatly enlarge most collections of Renaissance motets with rare pieces of outstanding worth, sung with skill and devotion. —Fanfare
The trick to mastering counterpoint lies in mastering it completely...herein lies the glory of this magnificent, essential release...Patterson clearly has genius in selecting just the right tempos and dynamics...serious, winning, and convincing. If we have ever had a finer Palestrina recording available, I've not heard it. —Heuwell Tircuit, In Tune Magazine
