"Head Chorister... Segger displays considerable musicality and impressive vocal control across this diverse programme… his smooth legato singing conveys a sense of yearning, and ... contrasting characters of six short songs are beautifully captured. Filsell provides impeccable accompaniments throughout, and a series of short organ solos... are a happy bonus."

Martin Clarke, Organists’ Review

“At first glance this might appear to be one of those “voice of an angel” collections.  But the listener will look in vain for any wings of doves or Lloyd-Webber Pie Jesu.  Instead there is a really well planned and varied programme of in the main unusual, but all interesting music. …Given the transient nature of a boy treble’s voice any disc like this is primarily going to serve as a first and last record of their voice.  No surprise that Segger sings beautifully and has clearly been very well trained by Filsell and the St Thomas staff. 

Nick Barnard, MusicWeb International

“gorgeous singing and plenty of warmth … a stirring intimacy that’s immediately striking.”

Tom Haugen, Take Effect

"The reasons to recommend this recording are ample: the performing forces, the reliable producers from Acis, and the programming ... The fourteen-year-old treble voice of Francis Segger is spectacular ... his teachers are to be credited, and we are indebted to Jeremy Filsell ... for preserving Frankie's distinctive sound for posterity. I will enjoy following the path of this young musician. Hope is alive and well for the next generation!"

Marjorie Johnston, The Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians

“The repertoire on this disc shows uncommon imagination. An elegantly sung arias from Bach’s St Matthew Passion … rubs shoulders with “The Red Dragonfly” by Kōsaku Yamada … “Light of the World” by British jazzman Johnny Dankworth dovetails neatly with “Little Lamb, Who Made Thee?” … while Lili Boulanger’s evocative Pie Jesu shows the beauty of Master Segger’s distinctive sound. Kudos all around for this recording: to Francis Segger for his lovely sound and secure musicianship; to Jeremy Filsell as pianist, organist, and guiding light; and to St. Thomas Church.”
