Reviews

“The whole performance seemed tailored to the present moment, as it breathed melodious life into a dusty manuscript that had waited 300 years to be so up-to-date.”
David Wright • New York Classical Review

“Attend a performance by New York’s Academy of Sacred Drama and you’re guaranteed to experience something that you have never heard before.”
Ashley Mulcahy • The Magazine of Early Music America

“The Academy used [Draghi’s Stabat Mater] as a striking exit processional.”
James R. Oestreich • The New York Times

“The piece is lovely, ornate and contrapuntal. The scene is shadowed and intimate, another quiet moment of excellent New York music-making.”
Kate Lucky • Commonweal Magazine
