"Without any visual distractions, the strengths of the score emerge powerfully ... The parallels with Bach's passions are clear, but as in El Niño, Adams has created his own synthesis. Both works are unlike anything else in the choral repertoire".

"Miracles are violent and terrifying ... Kelley O'Connor is an impactful Magdalene - unruly, extravagantly passionate. Contralto Tamara Mumford has mesmerising beauty and depth of tone. Under Gustavo Dudamel, the Los Angeles Philharmonic play with blistering force".

"Sellar's achievement is pacy, coherent and intensely moving, and builds to powerful climaxes ... It provides Adams with a vehicle that has inspired music of especial fire and spirituality ... Adams runs the gamut of colours with a battery of percussion ... Adams and Sellars's new drama never flags. Hugely recommended".
