 "Bonifantes has a great future ahead of it. It is out of reach in its interpretation of 20th century music."
Milada Velehradská, Noviny Pernštejn newspaper, 12th January 2004
"I was surprised by the workmanship with which the young choirmaster works with the children’s voices, the wide range of vocal capabilities of the choir, and the discipline with which the young ones perform."
Miloš Froník, weblog, The Bonifantes Phenomenon, 3.12.2003
"The choir has balanced vocal sections and the consistently worked dynamics best come to the fore in the Trouvere mass. The overall interpretation of the thematically uniform concert was homogeneous, rhythmically precise, and sure in terms of intonation."
Lenka Lipenská, SBOR.CZ, 12.5.2003
"… the Christmas concert of the BONIFANTES Boys’ Choir fully occupied the members of the Circle of Friends of Music in Kralupy nad Vltavou, music and choir singing enthusiasts alike, and its quality exceeded our expectations."
Vojen Otčenášek, Circle of Friends of Music in Kralupy nad Vltavou
"The singers of the Pardubice-based Bonifantes Boys’ Choir sang under the guidance of the choirmaster with a convincing expression of a simple pastoral text and with musical rapture. Hats off to the purity and enthusiasm of their vocal expression and to the huge amount of work which surely lies behind the organisation and preparation of this choir."
Miloslav Mikulecký, Mladá fronta Dnes newspaper, 16.12.2001
"The Bonifantes Boys’ Choir has remarkable discipline and puts in outstanding performances. It surely has a great future ahead of it."
Litoměřické listy newspaper, 12.10.2001
"The simple fact that one hundred and seventy boys appeared on stage is fantastic in itself."
Miloslav Mikulecký, Mladá fronta Dnes newspaper, 2.3.2000
"We experienced a return to Czech choir culture… Both choirs have a number of common features: clarity, precise intonation, vocal culture, and a far-reaching dynamic scope. Above all is the honest interest of the singers, their acoustic resonance with each composition sung, and their pleasure and love of singing."
Jaroslav Hübner, Hradecké noviny newspaper
"The male-voice choir performed Bohuslav Martinů’s masterpiece with magnificent vocal culture. There are no empty points in the choir’s sound – every member is an active singer."
Miloslav Mikulecký, MF Dnes newspaper, 20. 12. 2000
"… the male-voice choir put on a wonderful performance. Its maximum strength came across as cultured every time (especially during “Rex tremendae”), which again confirmed that it is not by chance that it is ranked among the best in its field."
Věra Doležalová, SBOR.CZ, 30.5.2002
