"Head Chorister... Segger displays considerable musicality and impressive vocal control across this diverse programme… his smooth legato singing conveys a sense of yearning, and ... contrasting characters of six short songs are beautifully captured."
"Filsell provides impeccable accompaniments throughout, and a series of short organ solos... are a happy bonus."
Martin Clarke, Organists’ Review
“At first glance this might appear to be one of those “voice of an angel” collections. But the listener will look in vain for any wings of doves or Lloyd-Webber Pie Jesu. Instead there is a really well planned and varied programme of in the main unusual, but all interesting music. …Given the transient nature of a boy treble’s voice any disc like this is primarily going to serve as a first and last record of their voice. No surprise that Segger sings beautifully and has clearly been very well trained by Filsell and the St Thomas staff.
