"It’s all such lovely, stately, stylish music that transports the listener into a world that sees the artistic genius of a time and a place where elegance was all ... extremely well recorded with lots of dynamics and depth, with a lovely church ambience around the players ... will remain among my favourites for life. It’s just an aural bath in sheer elegance, supported by wonderfully natural and open sound supporting superb performances."
