in Early Music Today (Sep, 2012)
So much emphasis is placed on the Roman Byrd that this outstanding recording of his Anglican music is a timely reminder of his extraordinary versatility at the interface of art and faith.

The selection from Songs of Sundrie Natures 1589 and Psalmes, Songs and Sonnets 1611 is similarly committed and characterful. If the clarity of the recording has an occasionally over-bright edge, it only serves to suggest the febrile freshness of music written in an age of instability. …
