“A luminous collection, the showpiece is Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal by Paul Mealor... an impressive choral work that superbly combines the clean and open harmonies of the Renaissance with the more distant harmonic intervals of today. The blend of voices is in perfect equilibrium. The sound recording... wraps you in a warm blanket of sound.” – Jean-Yves Duperron (Classical Music Sentinel)

“A golden blend of a cappella repertoire both ancient and modern. Juicy atmospherics. Rating **** ” – Kenneth Walton (The Scotsman)

“Madrigali is a rewarding work. Rewarding but not easy to perform. Lauridsen's style is quickly recognizable: richly consonant chords occasionally spiced with mild dissonances. Mealor's writing is fundamentally conservative [but his] use of micropolyphony ... is not far from Ligeti. A very good performance by any standard.” – Raymond S. Tuttle (International Record Review)

“This disc presents a very imaginative approach... obviously there is no competition in this sort of recital and the singing by the choir is always perfectly tuned and beautifully recorded.” – Paul Corfield Godfrey (MusicWeb)

“This is a fascinating collection of madrigals from various eras. Con Anima's careful execution of each piece seems to add character. The engineers at Divine Art have done well in making you feel as though you are in a small hall listening to this wonderful choir.” – Maria Nockin (Fanfare)
