Concert Reviews
'the work emerged in all its awesome glory' New York Times (US)

'a reading that was completely faithful to the spirit of the composer' s inspiration ... the excellence of the London Symphony Chorus cannot be too highly emphasised. The music sounded fresh and vital - as it is, of course, in essence. Sally Matthews' s radiant soprano was a consistent joy ... Above all, it was Davis' s patrician and affectionate presiding over the proceedings which makes one hope that the recording will be one to cherish' Classicalsource.com (UK)
