New York Times - The Best Classical Music Recordings of 2016:
”Mr. Burton is a beloved fixture of the New York choral scene, and it is always a pleasure to hear him step out in solos. In this superb collection of songs and spirituals, he reveals his personality more fully. Mr. Gumbs provides excellent support, but it is Mr. Burton’s unaccompanied version of the crucifixion anthem ‘He Never Said a Mumblin’ Word’ that will live with you longest.”
