Reviews:
'A wonderful addition to the catalogue, and the recorded sound... is superlative'
'A simply superb CD... A recording which you might use to snare those as yet unconverted and resistant to the beauties of the Gothic. Most highly recommended' (Fanfare, USA)
'Subtle, intelligent performances reflecting the refined art of 14th-century French music'
(Gramophone)
