Le Monde
The choral sound is incredibly homogeneous and clear… perfectly accurate intonation, attention to line, diction and dynamics. Above all a respect for the text… which enhances the sense and life of the music. Bach’s monumental structures are thus made architecturally clearer, more immediate and emotionally deeper.

La Lettre du Musicien
Once again Pierre Cao has managed to illuminate the Vézelay Basilica. Contemporary music, early or high Baroque – with Arsys, under Pierre Cao’s direction, we have both cohesion and great vocal beauty.

La Tribune
Arsys has stamped its identity on the musical world. Not with any dogmatism, but with the remarkable originality both of its stylistic approach and of its frequently thematic programme choices. This sumptuously extroverted choir projects a sense of finesse and pleasure both on stage and in its recordings…

A triumphant Messiah... Arsys with its remarkable choral timbre... Pierre Cao’s majestic, masterly conducting.

Luxemburger Wort
So intensiv kann also Musik wirken, wenn sie hier durch Pierre Cao und sein grandioses burgundisches Vokalensembles « Arsys » ! Man kann verstehen, weshalb Diapason (11/2002) in Pierre Cao einen der Erneuerer des Chorgesangs in Frankreich sieht.
Translation : «  Music, in the hands of Pierre Cao and his splendid Burgundian vocal ensemble Arsys, can have such an intense effect ! One can see why in November 2002 Diapason fixed upon Pierre Cao as the renovating force in French choral music. »
