Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians The choir sings in a clean and focused style, and Henry Faivre plays exquisitely. – Victor Hill

The Living Church Director Allen Shaffer skillfully constructs a well-balanced program of a cappella choral gems. The 41 listed voices of the parish choir are richly blended and superbly recorded by Frederick Hohman, giving a top-notch performance of each of the 13 choral selections. – Paul Cunningham
