"Of the choral works, When David heard, at 17-plus minutes, is by far the biggest, and remains one of Whitacre's most intensely expressive pieces. It's raptly performed here with the composer conducting, and is the high point of this particular programme".

"Whitacre's instrumental compositions are altogether more effective when replicating his choral style ... This is a shrewd piece of recycling but other works in the back catalogue are actually probably best left alone".
