REVIEWS
Jim Lowe, writing in the Time Argus had this to say about a recent performance by Heliand Consort in May 2012:
"The Heliand Consort […] performance was substantial and musically rewarding. [They] played with great skill and musical understanding. These fine players […] achieved a Romantic grandeur normally reserved for strings and piano."
