REVIEWS

 

“The voices took on a resonance and depth whose effect was positively sumptuous.”    New York Newsday

“If this is Christmas, it must be with Kyler Brown and The Virgin Consort.”   The New York Times

“Topnotch choir”   Newsweek

“Mr. Brown is to be commended for having taken on so much new music and having handled it with grace and expertise.” 

   The American Organist

 

“The Virgin Consort’s recording of the Messe de Minuit pour Noël [Gothic G49077] is a stylish recreation of a Christmas service at Saint-Chapelle.  Under the direction of Kyler Brown, the Consort presents the Mass with all the chant propers, making it quite an authentic experience.  Brown’s organ playing is delicate and, when necessary, suitably grand, while the ensemble is topnotch.  There exists no better recording of this work.”    Early Music America

  

“With well-wrought interpretations led by Kyler Brown, the performances are exemplary and in exquisite taste.”        The Living Church

 

THE KING OF INSTRUMENTS review:  “The performances are so consistently top-rung that singling out Kyler Brown’s rendition of Dupre’s G-Minor Prelude and Fugue at St. Mary the Virgin hardly seems fair.”     The New Yorker

 

MASTERPIECES FROM ST. MARY’S review:  “A better program for displaying this 1932 masterpiece (Aeolian-Skinner Organ) of American organ building would be hard to imagine.”   The American Organist

 

MASTERPIECES FROM ST. MARY'S review:  “Brown is a virtuoso and his ability to bring out the grandeur of the music is impressive.”     The Diapason
