The Sunday Times
“The Marian Consort is not just any ensemble – they exceed all expectations.”

★★★★★
De Standaard
“.The performances are models of discretion and musical taste, every texture clear, every phrase beautifully shaped.”

The Guardian

theartdesk.com
“The delivery is clean, unadorned, unaccompanied and undemonstrative, drawing the listener in by quiet persuasion and musical intelligence of the highest order.”

The Observer
“These a cappella performances are spot on...”

The Scotsman
“A really attractive blend of single voices moving with purposeful musicality.”

BBC Radio 3
“Exemplary one-to-a-part performances … The singing is as impassioned as it is effortlessly elegant.”

BBC Music Magazine
“The concluding Ave Maria by Robert Parsons is superb, the final 'Amen' attaining to genuine emotion but without the saccharine reverence that this much-recorded piece can attract.”

Gramophone
