It marks the debut on the Collegium label of Timothy Brown and the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge and features a rare recording of Ligeti's Lux Aeterna. "The quality of choral tone here is remarkable … a wondrous record." - Gramophone



    "…one of the most accomplished choral discs of the year." - Independent on Sunday



    "This disc is a first-rate contribution to unaccompanied choral singing at its best and can be highly recommended." - MusicWeb International



    "The choir sings with precise diction and radiant tone. This is a beautifully modulated journey…" - Sunday Times



    "Perfect late-night listening." - Financial Times
