Editorial Reviews

The Independent

"All hail the über-choir- choral singing close to perfection."

The Gramophone

"Theirs were the voices of angels, a tribute which The Sixteen deserves no less today."

From the Artist

Once again it is the human voice that allows us to express ourselves in ways that affect us deeply. Ikon gives us the power to remember, to reflect, to hope and ultimately to rejoice. The composers featured here are from differing traditions but all speak with the same passion and conviction. All let the language create the music and thus allow the music to enter our hearts.

goosepimples (2007-05-15)

It has to be said that there is little more versatile as the human voice as an instrument. This proves the point beyond measure.Clarity, emotion and total respect for the piece are in abundance throughout the album.Wonderful.

Sublime (2006-10-12)

Some of the most beautiful music, sung by one of the greatest singing groups in the world. What more can one say, very emotional and very enjoyable.

Ikon-ic (2006-03-09)

This is a truly outstanding CD with some of the finest choral music I have ever heard. Conducted by Harry Christophers, The Sixteen really prove themselves as one of the finest ensembles in the world. This album definitely has a spiritual feel to it and this adds a real depth to the music. With work by Rachmaninov, Stravinsky, Holst and MacMillan all featured on this disc I really feel that this is The Sixteen’s best work to date. I simply cannot see how this album could be improved and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Absolutely brilliant!
