Lloyd Schwartz of the "Boston Phoenix" hailed the Cantata Singers’ 1994 performance of this majestic work as “our city’s defining version of one of Western culture’s greatest achievements in music. . . . Richard Dyer of the "Boston Globe" applauded: “One was conscious not only of the size, majesty and sublimity of the work, but also of how intimate and direct it is . . . It is hard to imagine how the work could have been more beautifully and expressively played and sung by chorus, soloists and orchestra.” New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall, 30 Gainsborough St., Boston.
