Rutter's Sacred Flame

"This is a fine anthology that many listeners will treasure. John Rutter clearly knows and understands this repertoire well and, as a result, the sound and passion of this album stays with you for a long while after listening. I hope that his inspired combination of La Nuova Musica and the Cambridge singers will go on to future projects together." -MusicalCriticism.com

Renaissance Music From the Cambridge Singers

Lighten Our Darkness - Sheppard, Lassus, Byrd

Sing, Ye Heavens - Hymns for All Times

Ave Verum Corpus - Motets & Anthems of William Byrd

Henry's Music

"A nicely produced, generous, and musically exciting CD in honor of yet another anniversary for 2009... Henry's Music is not a messy and commercialized attempt to cash in on [the anniversary]: there is real substance to this set of performances. For a variety of reasons, lovers of Renaissance music would do well to look at Henry's Music seriously." -Classical.net
