Bruckner: Psalm 150, for Soprano, Chorus and Orchestra

“Hyperion clearly have another hit on their hands with this splendid release” CD Review

“An impeccable performance … a CD of rare depth and conviction” Good CD Guide

“Quite magnificent … hoping for a better all-round performance than this is probably an impossible dream!” Gramophone Magazine

“The F minor Mass can certainly be regarded as being among the finest music Bruckner ever created.
The intensity of religious feeling is heightened rather than diminished by the sumptuous orchestral support, and the soaring melodies and opulent harmonies are somehow purified and enriched by the devotional character of these familiar texts. Matthew Best's performance, by understating the music's abundant richness, gives tremendous point to the inner conviction of Bruckner's faith. His orchestra, sounding as if it has been playing this music all its days, plays with commendable discretion, balancing admirably with a relatively small choral body. As with everything the Corydon Singers and Best turn their hands to, it's an impeccable performance, infused with real artistry and sensitive musicianship. Enhanced by the glorious solo voices from a high-powered team this is a CD of rare depth and conviction.” Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010
