| One of the most stimulating and regenerating concerts... they performed with a quite outstanding
control of dynamic level, pitch and diction. Hilary Finch, the Times, London |
| Cantamus... performed old and new music from memory with astonishing commitment... they
proved impeccable exponents of all their pieces... the whole concert turned out a rare delight. Meirion Bowen, The Guardian, London |
| A choir that could stand comparison with anything in the world... a unique, sublime choral quality. Radio Times |
| A group of girls who look as if they spend every day of their lives studying the art
of choral singing... they reach out to the limits of perfection - perhaps even beyond. Albert Jacquier, La Suisse, Geneva |
| There is gold in the throats of these young English girls. Otto Bantel, Stuttgarter Zeitung |
| We have never heard such an excellent girls choir with such musicality, such a
well-informed performance, wholly without blemish. The musical sensitivity of Cantamus is truly outstanding. Josef Bok, Życie Muzyczne, Warsaw |
| Perfect singing and brilliant voices. Narodno Delo, Bulgaria |
| The star attraction of the evening was without doubt Cantamus... the young English
girls fascinated the public by the soundness of their interpretation and the maturity of their singing.
Their vocal mastery and expressiveness is comparable to a professional choir. L'Avenir, Belgium |
| Truly stupendous... such excellence in every way. Sarah Walker, International Singer |
| Dedication, concentration, determination and, perhaps above all, infectious enthusiasm. Brian Kay, BBC Music Presenter |

| Top-class choir with great expressivity. The musical experience radiated by the group
is remarkable. Bravo! (for the conductor as well). Neerpelt Jury 1998 (Main Choir) |
| An excellent choir, vocally pure and with a very musical interpretation. Bravo! What a joy to listen
to you. A beautiful accompaniment on piano. Neerpelt Jury 1998 (Training Choir) |
| Cantamus is one of the most gifted groups of singers I have had the experience to work
with. Their sound is clear and rich, their intonation is spot on and they understand the joy of music-making.
Conducting a work like Britten's A Ceremony of Carols with Cantamus was one of the high points of my
concert career. Long may they continue. Carl Davis |
