Stupendous! - By: L. Y. Skipper, 26 Dec 2003 
I was given this album as a Christmas present, & I can only say it's one of the best presents I've ever received! Lots of old favourites are here, including 'Sosban fach' & of course 'Land of my Fathers'. But for me the highlights are a truly rousing rendering of 'Men of Harlech' (enough to make even an army of the dead want to rise & fight!)and Bryn's impassioned delivery of one of the greatest of hymns, 'Cwm Rhondda (Bread of Heaven)'. Even if one is not religious (and I am not), this must surely move all who hear it - it had mein tears. It comes from the guts, & it goes straight to the guts. Terrific stuff!
So poignant it brought hireath to my heart - By: jane_sinnett@hotmail.com, 23 Dec 2001 As an ex pat Welsh girl livingin NZ, just to listen to it made me imagine I was back amongst the hills & valleys of Wales. My NZ husband revelsin the rousing chorus of Men of Harlech, & I sobbed to my little Welsh home. Fantastic!!! I'll be playing this when we 'Come home again to Wales'in two years.
Crosseo y Cymru! - By: Mike Gable, 30 Sep 2001 Bryn Terfyl & the other musicians have produced a tour de force of Welsh popular & historical music. Terfyl is superlative & he ranges his voice from his natural bass-baritone to almost tenor - moving along the scale as the songs require. If one is Welsh these songs vary between a soaring rendition to fight for language & culture to a sentimetal journey through what Welshness is. However, even if one is not Welsh then the sheer quality & power of these recordings is a joy to wallow in. (Although medieval anglo-saxons might be chilled by some of the lyrics!). One simply cannot praise this album sufficiently, let alone too much. Mike Gable
Excellent, moving, rousing and patriotic - Welsh or no - By: barbara_turner@talk21.com, 01 Sep 2001 Bryn has excelled himself once again with this moving, rousing & patriotic offering. Technically wonderful, precise yet human & warm, his voice & repertoire continue to improve & mature. He sings with pride, warmth depth & compassion on this wonderful CD.
Ardderchog ! (Welsh for Fantastic) - By: dylan@classicfm.net, 05 Dec 2000 Bryn Terfel's vocal cords are priceless, as exemplified by this fantastic new album containing all things good about traditional Welshness.
