Gramophone UK Magazine has written: “The Indiana performance, conducted by Arthur Fagen, brims with telling detail and vibrancy.” Gapplegate Classical Modern Music Review published: “Arthur Fagen, the effective soloists and the amassed Indiana University singers and musicians all give us a convincing and intense reading of the score.” David’s Review Corner has written: “Much praise must go to the orchestra which, together with the chorus, make such a vibrant ending to the first act”.
