"As a representation of the Holy Saturday service in Gregorian terms, this is about as liturgically accurate, and as well performed, as it gets. Outside of its purely religious context, Solesmes' He Was Placed In The Tomb would be an excellent disc to accompany late-night reading or other nocturnal, quiet activities." —www.AllMusic.com
