"Christopher Wilke pushes the instrument to the extreme limit of its tonal and dynamic capabilities, playing not only with a technical expertise rivaling that of, say, a Paul O'Dette or a Robert Barto, but also with a range of expressiveness beyond that of any recording artist I have ever heard on the lute. ...Indeed, this most recent work of his may well be to lute playing what the Copernican revolution (continued by Kepler and Galileo) was to cosmology ... It is nothing short of revolutionary."

"A revelation...Wilke plays with an explicit passion and panache I've never heard before on any lute. This album deserves a place in the list of pioneering recordings of 'early' music."
- Bill Sampson, CDBaby.com
"It's truly inspiring. Wilke's playing is amazingly accurate but remains inventive and surprising throughout."

"[T]his really is far more like real music than most of us have heard before on a lute, especially the way Chris plays (with, around, at, through, over) it... Chris has made it more about the message than about the medium."
