...busy finding the notes that the work's petulant power fell by the wayside. In particular, concertmaster Michael Harris showed little aptitude for his post, combining lackluster solos with bowings that evidently left the first violins non-plussed. Despite impressive third movement efforts by trumpeter Norman Birge and oboeist Jack Klebanow and crisp second movement development work by pianist Judy Kogan, the winds were swept along by the tide of mediocrity, while the percussion section combined poor placement (along the left wall of the Sanders stage) with ill-chosen dynamic levels...

The performance, featuring two excellent soloists, Jean Lunn, soprano, and Vincent Allison, baritone, was smooth and often moving.
