Reviews

“The excellent American Rose Ensemble under the direction of Jordan Sramek provide simply radiant performances of this long-neglected repertoire, with superb vocalists singing equally effectively as soloists and in consort, while ably supported by a small but beautifully effective instrumental ensemble. …superlative performances of richly rewarding music…”

— D. James Ross, Early Music Review, 8 January 2019
