A sublime choir singing a gem of the English Renaissance. Bravo!

Nobody can top this.

A bit too much vibrato for my taste, but possibly a historically correct performance in that it was probably first sung by Catholics in hiding, so a very few voices.

I have heard so many different performances of this rare musical gem; and by so many different choirs, but nothing like this with six, is it?...voices; well as of now, I can say that this performance is really stands out; that it certainly rivals everything I've ever heard; that nothing, now...could ever surpass this...Thank You!...

just for laugh : if I were mean, I would say that your Bass sometimes falls down ! ;-)

no comment, caus'so perfect! Congrat's, I'm a french choir chief, and this version helps me to learn it correctly ! Bravo !

I know there shouldn't be any vibrato based on the period, however, my modern ear, it brings a certain warmth to it. All music should be expressive to some degree.

However, I do love the intonation of no vibrato overall especially when notes are in conflict.

[Matt Simon]

I like the addition of vibrato, superb singing
