REVIEWS:
‘Ex Cathedra’s performances are wonderful, with expertly shaded nuances of dynamics and phrasing and a luminous tone… Tracks like Mozart’s Ave verum corpus and Harris’ Faire is the Heaven dazzle with the sheer beauty of their sound.’ (BBC Music Magazine)
‘A veritable gem… A captivating opening track of Barber’s Agnus Dei, the resplendent setting of sacred text to his famous Adagio for Strings… From 9th century chant to the Gaelic Blessing by Rutter, the entire musical content is made accesible by some superb singing and stunning dynamic contrasts.’ (The Birmingham Post)
