“There is a real sophistication … each of the four singers enjoying their own prominent part … sheer delight!”

The Wholenote

“Toronto should count its blessings that it has an ensemble like the Consort to expose it to the masterpieces of Early Music. From soloists to musicians to conductor David Fallis, this was early music-making at its very best.”

“… their playing is very fine and they invest the music with much sympathy and skill. The singing by so small an ensemble sounds very good … An unusual Christmas record from Latin America and Spain very well performed.”

“As led by its Artistic Director David Fallis, the Toronto Consort lavishes luminous clarity, lightness and vitality on the music.”

Gramophone

“The Toronto Consort’s new recording of music of Queen Elizabeth I is a welcome addition to the English Renaissance discography. Their performance is finely polished and beautifully presented. The singers in consort deserve high praise for their excellent ensemble sound.”

Here’s what Rick Phillips of CBC Radio’s SOUND ADVICE said about this CD on a 2006 edition of SOUND ADVICE:

“There are some who think medieval and Renaissance music is dull and monotonous. They probably haven’t heard the Toronto Consort yet. This group sets the standard. Their annual concert series in downtown Toronto always presents early music in imaginative and clever ways, and is always well-attended. And their many recordings over the years continue the vision with a variety of styles, nationalities and approaches to early music. This latest from them – THE DA VINCI COLLECTION is beautifully put together. Vocal music alternates with instrumental dances. It’s colourful and spirited, tight, balanced and blended. The jacket notes by Artistic Director David Fallis are well-researched, comprehensive and eye-opening. And the recorded sound here is demonstration quality. You feel as if you’re in the same room with the Consort – it’s vibrant, rich and alive. A high class act. Five out of five.”

The CD then went on to be included in the SOUND ADVICE Best of 2006 list – BRAVO !

“The Toronto Consort is a world-class group that has been turning out excellent early music performances and recordings for decades, and this entire production measures up to the ensemble’s very high standards. From the opening hymn, we’re drawn in by the grandeur and resoluteness of the melody, the richness of the harmony, and the full-bodied sound of choir, strings, and organ. Throughout, these fine musicians and the excellent musical selections compel our attention.”
