"...a fine group that has achieved an enviable standard of tuning, blend, and ensemble."
—JOHN RUTTER
"...the clear, fresh voices of the Byrd Ensemble, an American group with a strong background in Renaissance music, mean that the dissonances and their consequent resolutions...are brought into focus in a truly remarkable way"
