"For sheer bravura, and an increasingly corporate elan between voices and instruments, the Amsterdam forces are beginning to consolidate on a distinctive timbre and style."
Gramophone Magazine

"Koopman is proving that he compromises not a bit in his musical vision and determination."
Classics Today
