Very attractive music
(Jeff Joneikis ? Records International ? USA ? December 2005)

Full marks to all concerned for playing and singing such unfamiliar stuff with so much commitment and conviction. If you know any of van Hoof?s music, you will know what to expect, although the beautifully moving simplicity of the songs and the varied expressive nature of the Second Symphonic Suite might pleasantly surprise. All in all, a really lovely release that I warmly recommend to all who relish beautifully crafted, colourful and tuneful late-Romantic music.

"F?r alle entdeckungsfreudigen H?rer, die Komponisten wie Dvorak oder Strauss sch?tzen, ist diese CD empfehlenswert. Man darf hoffen, dass? in den Feldern Flanderns? noch so mancher musikalische Schatz zu heben ist."
