"As a former member of the choir and a participant on this album, I am not exactly unbiased in my review. But, I can tell you that the album was recorded in some of God's own spaces like San Marcos in Venice, some Jesuit church in Venice whose name I don't remember, Westminster Abbey, and St Peter's, Rome. The sound of the choir on these tours was even better than I remembered it. And the added bonus of supporting a men and boys choir, especially an American men and boys choir is irresistible. The music performed on the CD is also rare. Some of the pieces on the disc are pieces I tried to find for years without luck. Several of the pieces feature a countertenor section that was unmatched on this side of the Atlantic. As a serious classical music fan, I highly recommend this album, aside from the personal attachment to the choir. You will have a hard time matching this album anywhere with the quality of the performance, the rooms in which it was recorded, the repertoire, and the chance to hear one of the five best men and boy's choirs in America. There's more than corn in Indiana."

"Si bien el coro es de un buen nivel, la verdad es que el sonido no es como yo esperaba, y algunas interpretaciones están un poco apresuradas y con poco fraseo."
