There is no room here for error, but, fortunately, we never hear one. The singers all exhibit an amazing sense of control; in lesser hands, or lungs, these works would run out of steam halfway through, but the breath, tone, and phrasing are superb.

The opening syllable is . . . a collective wail of grief that . . . invites, even demands, the listener to participate. The closely miked ambience, the sparse use of vibrato, and the [full texting] . . . draw the listener further into this intimately personal space.

Radically different . . . [Cut Circle] challenges the predominant sonic aesthetic.
Toccata Magazine (Germany)
It is to the great credit of Cut Circle that they take this accumulation of strong feelings very seriously . . . with great individual, expressive, sometimes idiosyncratic expression, [giving] each individual song its own color and shape. With its flexible vocal technique, the ensemble more than does justice to the vocal–technical brilliance and emotional depth of the music.
