"That VivaVoce’s singing should be so good is one thing; effectively capturing it for posterity is another. Fortunately, this is an excellent recording... Its warm acoustics enable the ensemble’s climactic notes to gently linger like a kiss ... Kudos to the recording team for capturing and caressing these sounds from heaven."

A recent musical review gives special mention to the sound quality of Elinor Frey's - La Voce Del Violoncello. In addition to praising Elinor for her impeccable playing, the reviewer had this to say about the recording itself:
"The very first thing I noticed from the first track onward is how very well recorded this music is—this disc easily ranks among the most impressive audible illusions of a solo instrument I've yet to hear through my system! ... Padraig Buttner-Schnirer, who recorded and engineered the disc, should be praised for the incredible work he did in presenting the music and performance with such true realism."
