What people are saying

“I don’t know what they’re putting in the coffee over there at Signum Classics, but this is another brilliant wonder, and obviously a labour of love for all concerned.” – Classical Nowhere, April 2016

“Best are solo contributions from soprano Eloise Irving and tenor Matthew Vine, who take the lead in the exquisite opener, Lisa Lan.” – Gramophone, April 2016

4* – “This is a disc which works because the singers combine fine musical quality with a sympathy and enthusiasm for their material, giving us a delightfully evocative 50 minutes.” – Planet Hugill, May 2016

“The best is Holst’s version of ‘I Love My Love’, which develops from simplicity gradually into more elaboration that works.” – Early Music Review, May 2016

5* –  “Here’s a richly satisfying traversal of British songs delivered with consummate feeling and eloquence by the Armonico Consort…a delightful recital sung with entrancing beauty.” – Choir & Organ, June 2016
