Collegium Vocale Gent is considered to be one of the best vocal ensembles in the world. The most important work on the album is the Symphony of Psalms. Stravinsky said `it is not a symphony in which I have included to be sung. On the contrary, it is the singing of Psalms that I am symphonizing.`

“Herreweghe really engages with this music in a way few of his rivals have done, and he has marvellous singers and players to realise his view of the work.
