Reviews: 

"Particularly impressive here is the way the Choir of St John's, Cambridge, under Christopher Robinson, opt for a style which shuns affectation and instead delivers performances notable for musicianly shaping of phrases, and a refined and controlled beauty, yet one where the excellent boys can demonstrate their considerable versatility, tonally and otherwise. Vocal balance and timbre are most satisfying ... Robinson never forces the pace, an approach which suits the seamless and unassuming clarity of the plainsong verses" Gramophone 1997
