Stephen Smoliar has a review for Cappella SF and Ragnar Bohlin’s Mass Transmission: Choral Works by Mason Bates recording on his blog, The Rehearsal Studio:

“…the performance is expressively lush. [Mass Transmission] captures the spirit of nostalgia for those pioneering times with a clear-sighted account of how a new technology established the vanguard of a series of changes that have had (and continue to have) lasting effect. Bates never tries to romanticize, but he also knows how to tap into listening as an emotional experience. … Bates is clearly comfortable setting texts in a variety of different languages, and Sirens makes for a fascinating mood piece.”
