… sensual and quietly yearning . . . Recorded in a spacious studio rather
than an echoey church, the precisely tuned voices resonate, but the harmonies
are clean enough for each unexpected twist and crunch to register beautifully,
and the choir revels in the echoey spatial effects of Hieronymus's "Tota
Pulchra Es". A full complement of accompanying instruments is used,
including brass, strings and organ, but their contributions are mostly subtle,
enhancing the texture without upstaging the voices.

Hieronymous's
"Magnificat" thrusts us immediately into a gorgeous, multi-hued
polyphonic throng of overlapping harmonies and counterpoints . . .
["Magnificat per omnes" is] even more grandiose and inventive.

. . . a welcome addition to the DG
catalogue . . . superb orchestral playing . . . exciting moment to moment . . .
this repertoire achieves a certain new intensity here.
