'The performers, knowing they were cresting a wave, captured the work's strenuous joy with no sense of strain. The young voices of the Rodolfus Choir and Philharmonia Voices soared with seeming effortlessness... The gods seemed to be smiling on this performance, which at the end touched the sublime.' Ivan Hewett, The Telegraph
NYCC & NYJO SummerFest 15 / City of London Festival (1st July 2015)
'...the music and its delivery were ravishing, offering perspectives and tonal shifts you’d expect from the very best of chamber choirs...which these 18-25 year olds are...' David Nice, The Arts Desk
'I wonder as I wander' Robyn Donnelly on Silent Night CD for BBC Music Magazine (2012)
'Rutter's realisation of I wonder as I wander...is typical in its sensitive restraint. "Just out for a walk under the stars, thinking about larger questions," is how Robert Isaacs imagines the opening of this setting, which he judges soprano soloist Robyn Donnelly to have "delivered beautifully" here.'
