“This debut release is as unusual as it is intriguing. It has a ring of purity around it, taking you out of your daily routine whilst inspiring a kind of divine mystery beyond practising earthly religion. Carefully crafted and expertly recorded, including in wide surround, and for those who like it, also available in 4K Video Download, this debut recording has the ethereal power mankind needs in modern testing times.”

Adrian Quanjer, HRAudio.net

“[Kristia] Michael is a vocal artist who navigates between piety and the raw Mediterranean. Subtle are the guttural arabesques with which she adorns the music. The instrumentalists also draw from a rich arsenal, from lute and viola to harp and hurdy-gurdy. An improvisation with percussion and throat singing leaves the Enkhuizen Westerkerk trembling.”

Guido van Oorschot, de Volkskrant

“Thanks to the exquisite qualities of the Sibil•la Ensemble, we can enjoy this music in its purest form, with the gorgeously fine recording crowning this sublime musicianship. A debut album that clearly tastes like more.”

Aart van der Wal, Opus Klassiek

“The result is pure music that has been arranged and performed with the utmost care. Tranquil and contemplative music, with a strong link to serenity.”

Mattie Poels, Music Frames

“[Sibil-la Ensemble’s] art is a magnificent paradigm of devoted work on the preservation and development of European music heritage, their focus on Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque music underlined a decisive field of the cultural interdisciplinary character of European heritage.”

“Here the reproduction was almost palpable. What a treat to hear and see these young musicians. With such dedication and intensity, but at the same time with a playful ease. Wow.”
