"The programme has been designed as what James Potter describes in his excellent booklet essay as an “imagined liturgy”, covering the services that one might attend in the Church of England, running from Compline on the evening before the Sunday, through the morning Eucharist to Evensong; it’s a programming concept that really appeals to me. The planning has been taken one stage further in that the choice of music takes us through that part of the liturgical year that runs from Lent through to Trinity Sunday ...I enjoyed this disc very much indeed. The music is consistently stimulating and inventive. The performances by Sigo de Oro are as accomplished as I’d expect; that’s to say, highly accomplished. Just fourteen singers take part but when required they can make a terrific sound; elsewhere, though, when the music demands it, they observe all the subtle nuances. Patrick Allies has clearly prepared his singers with great care for this assignment; just as importantly, it sounds to me as if he has instilled in them great commitment to all this recent music. Producer/engineer Paul Baxter has recorded the performance in first-rate sound. The documentation is up to Delphian’s usual high standard, not least in terms of the excellent introduction to the music provided in James Potter’s essay."
