The choir is renowned as an expert ensemble and here they sing splendidly under Chilcott's direction... In the case of Beach, Chilcott employs a viola, superbly played by Paul Silverthorne. The viola's nutty brown sound adds a marvellously wistful touch to this piece... The selection of music on this disc has been well made to give a good variety of perspectives on Bob Chilcott's choral output... Chilcott is a resourceful composer and one who writes exceptionally well for voices and he is superbly served here by the virtuosity of the BBC Singers"

" ... you get a sense of the settings having grown organically out of their texts, so attuned is Chilcott to words and their import ... As for the singing, it is superb throughout, the BBC Singers, no doubt spurred on Chilcott's conducting, giving themselves entirely over to both words and music without for a moment allowing any technical lapses ... The booklet notes and sound recording are both of the same excellence"
