  • "I had not heard of Daniel Knaggs before, but I am now thoroughly sold on his music. As usual, Robert Simpson has done an excellent job, with the result that this is a most enjoyable recording."

  • “With The Joyful Mysteries, American composer Daniel Knaggs (b. 1983) has created a choral symphony for the ages… … Guided by Simpson's expert hand, instrumentalists, vocalists, and choir singers all rise to the occasion in their stellar realization of Knaggs' choral symphony, so much so that it's difficult to imagine another performance of the work bettering this one.”
