Acclaim for O Magnum Mysterium
"The purity of tone, clarity of diction, and blended ensemble, are worthy of established groups that have sung together much longer...an impressive debut."
FANFARE magazine (Tiffany Consort CD "O Magnum Mysterium")
"...pure tone [and] textural transparency...This disc makes for an impressive introduction [to The Tiffany Consort]. The choral sound is bright, well blended and finely tuned...there's a sense of rhythmic unity to the singing... the singing is intimate, rapt and wondefully alive...A promising debut...the recording is flattering."
Gramophone - September 2005
"...a handsome anthology...[Nicholas White's 'Magnum Mysterium'] is delightful as is the concluding 'Alleluia' and 'Hodie'...The eight voices [of Tiffany] are youthful, bright and clear, and the conductor has them modifying vocal color, arching phrases and milking suspensions with the best of them..."
American Record Guide - July/August 2005
"The eight singers produce a tone that is naturally pure, clear, balanced and transparent, with a vitality of phrasing that is well shaped and deliciously expressive."
"This pristine vocalism is an exemplary representation of the choral art."
The American Organist - December 2006
Acclaim for Nicholas White
"...renditions distinguished by their musicality and polish...exhilarating performances."
The American Organist (The Amsterdam Bach: Pro Organo)
"White brought out the other-wordly intensity of the Messiaen..."
The New York Times (Dieu parmi nous)
"...a passionate rendering of Monteverdi's Vespers of the Blessed Virgin(1610)."
The New York Times (December 2004 performance)
"...and the pick hit of the whole CD, the Magnificat of...Nicholas White...a joyously contemporary reflection..."
The Washington Times (The Washington Chorus CD "Glorious Splendor")
