MusicWeb International‘s John Quinn offers a second review for the PaTRAM Institute’s Blessed Art Thou Among Women recording:
“With performers of such pedigree involved, I was keen to hear this latest disc on which they offer a programme of Orthodox hymns in honour of Mary, the Mother of God. … This is an excellent recital. I’ve mentioned only a few of the pieces but I would ask readers to take on trust that the items which haven’t received a specific mention are equally fine and eloquent. Also, please take on trust that the unmentioned works are performed to the same very high standard as the works that I’ve specifically referenced. The singing throughout this disc is of an extremely high quality. Not only does the choir sound superb, but they also evidence great commitment to the music. This is singing from the heart. … The recorded sound is richly satisfying, conveying an ideal ambience while at the same time reporting all the choral parts with clarity. … Devotees of Orthodox church music can invest with confidence.”
