Reviews

  • I've already added O Guiding Night to my long list of desert island discs. Tarik O'Regan's Beloved, all things ceased, with its hypnotic hockets and ecstatic outbursts, and Byrchmore's The Dark Night intensify the album's sublime qualities.
    Andrew Stewart, Classic FM, 01 August 2011
  • Byrchmore's instinct for the dramatic erupts fully in the crunching organ chords launching The Dark Night, while O'Regan relies on an ululating underlay of voices to evoke the erotic, visionary nature of St John's clandestine nocturnal assignation.
    Terry Blain, BBC Music Magazine, 01 August 2011
  • Tarik O'Regan's powerful new choral work, Fleeting, God.
    Christopher Howse, The Telegraph, 18 June 2011
