"..the players set out in almost holographic detail between, beyond, between and in front of the loudspeakers. You could almost be there' (Gramophone 'Soundings')

'The Parley of Instruments up to their usual stellar form' (Stereophile, USA)

'Highly enjoyable!' (Early Music Review)

''Ayres for the Theatre' is a wonderful collection of rich and varied, tuneful music and has been marvellously well recorded by engineer Tony Faulkner … the players set out in almost holographic detail between, beyond, between and in front of the loudspeakers. You could almost be there' (Gramophone 'Soundings')

'Strongly recommended' (Fanfare, USA)

'Goodman pilote sa troupe avec une science, une fraîcheur, une addresse, une élégance, qui signale le parfait purcellien' (Diapason, France)
