Its individuality parallels the new and astonishing Manueline architecture in which much of it would have been performed.
" ...a performance of deeply searching spirituality, paced intelligently, as is everything by this choir's director, Harry Christophers" THE TIMES
"Excellent blend, shape and ensemble . . . , as is a sense of real joy in performing the repertory, that is sometimes lacking in recordings of sacred choral Music."
