‘The vocal quality is very fine, not to say superb, and when the music calls for an extrovert approach (as do Byrd’s Vigilate or, very differently, Dunstable’s four-voice Veni Sancte Spiritus) the singers respond with an athleticism and a feel for pacing that isn’t perhaps so common. The close miking does justice to the contrapuntal details, maintaining clarity in all but the densest writing’ (Gramophone)
‘It’s all exquisitely done, collegiate smoothness and blend to the fore. And what blend! The harmonic voicing is immaculate yet always sensitive to the imperatives of the polyphonic flow—witness the plight of Jerusalem, conveyed with such honeyed heart-breaking simplicity, in Byrd’s Ne irascaris, Domine. Haunting too is the hushed restraint of Robert White’s Compline hymn. Weavers of rich and plangent tapestries, The Gesualdo Six meld style and substance with beguiling sure-footedness. An auspicious debut’ (BBC Music Magazine)
