"Magnificent"
The Times

 "McCarthy is an important contemporary composer…This is undoubtedly the choral album of the year" ★★★★★
The High Arts

"Codebreaker is an exceptional achievement on numerous counts ... What really hits home is its warmth, compassion and emotional ardour" ★★★★★
Classical Ear

"Highly recommended for anyone interested in the state of the art of contemporary British choral music" ★★★★
AllMusic 

"This important release should be in every keen choral singer’s Christmas stocking"
Gramophone

"If I were asked to place a bet on what might be the Belshazzar's Feast or the Hiawatha's Wedding Feast among British choral classics for the 21st century it would probably be Codebreaker... I really do recommend this work; it's a real beauty."
BBC Radio 3, 'Essential Classics'

"The musical setting moved me to tears…Quiet sections are often hypnotic and the climaxes are shattering"
