"If you hold affection for Anglican choral psalm settings, look no further. Although the original recordings are over 30 years old, these (along with Vols. 2 & 3) are the ones to go with. The purity of voice and immediacy of the recordings are just sublime. The only way that they, as a series, might be improved, would be for the psalms to be recorded in sequence, as they are on the discs by the St. Paul's Cathedral choir. This would have made it far easier to find the individual track to play, without having to consult the case liner notes."

"Had this music been recorded digitally, it would have been beyond sublime. Alas, it still has an analog sound to it, despite the remastering. Nonetheless, it is worth the purchase (though for a better recording of the 46th Psalm, check out the Choir of Christ's Hospital recording of it)."

"I would surely like to obtain a complete collection of all psalms by this choir. For years I have looked, searched, for this collection which I heard as a child played every sunday in South America. A great collection, ageless and timeless something have and play in the home for upliftment and inspiration even if you are not a religous person. Endless stars ****************************"
