"This is a very interesting disc and worthy of the attention
of all the devotees of seventeenth-century English music ... On this
disc the Choir of the Chapel Royal and the string, cornett, sackbut
and organ players that accompany give them commendable performances
... this disc is of particular merit because the singers are
successors of the boys and men who formed the core in 1685 ...
(Recommended listening)"
