BBC Music Magazine Award-winning choir Tenebrae perform a sumptuous selection of motets by Johannes Brahms and Anton Bruckner. A portion of the proceeds from sales of this recording will be donated to MacMillan Cancer Support.

"Tenebrae score on all counts. They submit with impressive stamina and unfailing intonation to Bruckner’s instrumental scoring and phrasing" Gramophone, November 2015 

"A beautifully balanced programme" Performance 5* Recording 5* BBC Music Magazine, November 2015

"If you wanted proof that the vocal ensemble Tenebrae is one of the most impressive chamber-sized collectives around at the moment, then, it's just arrived. Anton Bruckner's motets demand everything from choirs of any size: absolute security of intonation and ensemble, ease of tone production at the outer limits of the vocal ranges, both stratospherically high and earth-shakingly low, unlimited reserves of power, dynamic range and an ability to spin phrases seemingly sometimes of symphonic breadth. Tenebrae can do it all, it seems." BBC Radio 3 CD Review, November 2015

"The dense harmonies suit this well-established professional choir perfectly." The Guardian, November 2015
