“As bracing as beaches and beer—highly recommended… The blend and intonation from both (TB and SA) groups is exemplary, and the arrangements imaginative and accomplished… An impressive compilation by an accomplished group… its own particular ethos of breezy informality and boundless energy.”

Murray Somerville, The American Organist

"…fine ambassadors for the Antipodean voice... a delight: a solid, flexible and fluid ensemble lit up by a supple melding of luminous high and strong, tender low voices and melting, close-knit harmonies." 

MICHAEL QUINN, Choir & Organ ****

 

"an ideal blend of sound, clear diction, and impeccable intonation."

HENRY FOGEL, Fanfare ****

 

“The choir sings with beautiful blend, secure intonation, and expressive musicality."

ROBERT DELCAMP, American Record Guide

 

"Watson continues to work his magic with choral and solo singing...exquisitely musical, soulful presentation...Each piece is a gem...musical and polished... There's nothing like the sound of a men's chorus, and Peter Cambell's TTBB settings of Three Scottish Folk Songs provide a nice change of timbre...arranged with great skill and artistry."

MARJORIE JOHNSTON, The Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians

 

"...memorable and noteworthy... shows off the amazing ability of this choir to produce an absolutely perfect pianissimo tone, at one point seeming almost to fade down to nothing...a pure, clear tone, excellent diction, exemplary pitching, and a fine inner balance."
