"Throughout, The Gesualdo Six offer up introspective and expressive reading – literally deep in the case of Brumel's prayerful Sub tuum praesidium scored for sonorous low voices, and the same composer's De tout plongiet / Fors seulement whose bass line fathoms the abyss." – BBC Music Magazine (4 stars)
