"[...] It’s a great skill to be able to present this music with such clarity, yet without losing the ambience of the resonant Lutheran Church in Haarlem where it was recorded. This is one of the best-captured recorder quartet discs this listener has heard in a long time. Fans of recorder consort music will find much to enjoy on this varied and well-programmed disc, but moreover, those who like their music to take them on a journey – in this case one of magic and enchantment – are in for a real treat."
The Early Music Shop
"the excellent playing of these four musicians [...], the well-crafted arrangements, the extraordinary instrumentation (details are given in the booklet) and the beautiful recording."
Aart van der Wal, Opus Klassiek
