“The [Camerata] ensemble takes you to a place of hope, redemption, and everlasting
peace…Simply beautiful, and not just for Christmas.” – Der Spiegel (Germany)
“The singing is crisp, pure, yet with plenty of emotional heft… The accompaniments – on medieval fiddle, harp, bells and ancient winds – are lively and evocative.”
– Limelight Magazine (Australia)
