"the singing emphatically suggests that Christ Church may well be our best choir for sixteenth-century polyphony."
David Fallows, Gramophone

"His (Lassus') early four-voice Missa Venatorum is unbelievably short - on paper it looks pathetic; but the Christ Church choir make it a work that rewards repeated listening. It is crammed full of telling detail. The recording sounds a little bright, but that is presumably on purpose: it helps to keep the music transparent and the texts clear ... the singing emphatically suggests that Christ Church may well be our best choir for sixteenth-century polyphony."
David Fallows, Gramophone
