“The acoustic in St Michael’s Church in the town of Znojmo is characteristically ample but confers a flattering bloom to the sound. These are attentive performances, well-shaped by Roman Válek – who, with the same forces, recorded the Requiem of Franz Xaver Richter a number of years ago for Supraphon. Tůma is not as well-known as Richter but he exemplifies the professionalism and technical competence of members of the Bohemian diaspora in the eighteenth century.”
MusicWeb International, January 2023
“This is the kind of release I live for: a world-premiere recording of glorious music by a great composer who doesn’t get enough love in the current marketplace… It’s hard to overstate how deeply engaging and attractive this music is, and the performances by the Czech Ensemble Baroque Orchestra and Choir are magnificent — alto soloist Monika Jägerova is especially fine.”
CD HotList, January 2023
“Singers and players achieve the perfect balance between refinement and exuberance in these delightful performances.”
Choir and Organ, March 2023
“Roman Válek conjure l'acoustique d'église par des phrases cursifs et des tempos vifs qui font de cette pièce une cousine des symphonies de CPE Bach. L'engagement est tout aussi palpable dans les oeuvres vocales, notamment la Messe, très exigeante pour les solistes. Moins essentielles que le Requiem et le Miserere enregistrés par les mêmes, ces oeuvres festives méritaient l'exhumation.”
