“Passion Transfigured... transfigures the listener.”

“...The Thirteen sings with striking color and richness...”

“(The Thirteen) has a tight and attractive vocal blend and excellent choral discipline.  There is a good sense of phrase and deliberate forward movement even without exaggerated or artificially imposed dynamic contrasts. ”

“On this evidence, the Washington DC-based The Thirteen is clearly a tight-knit ensemble of accomplished soloists with a vocal signature of becoming tonal beauty. ”

““The voices… coalesced to create a ravishing, engaging sound. This is a significant, praiseworthy recording, one whose beauty and power are revealed in direct proportion to the level of attention that the listener gives.” ”
