"Singing Early Music is a pioneering work of surpassing quality that cannot be too highly recommended." --Journal of Singing

"Addresses the needs of the performer directly, giving historical pronunciations for a range of languages [and] sample texts. . . . The CD that comes with the book will prove invaluable. . . . David Klausner's recording is admirably consistent and convincing across the wide range of languages." --Early Music
