Editorial Reviews

Review

There are some lovely musical discoveries waiting to be made on Rome's Golden Poets. The balance and tuning are generally excellent; the choice of subject matter refreshing, something different that's not already available in 10 different versions on major labels. Barnes' program notes are, as usual, well-written and informative. -- Sarah Bryan Miller, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

This beautiful and sensitive recording is a treasure, and it is well worth the extra introduction and preparation needed to make it suitable for the normal Latin class more familiar with MTV than with motets. --Rose Williams, Texas Classics in Action, Summer 2000
