There was an occasional disagreement in tempo between solo and conductor and some mechanical-sounding scale passages, but Shatten's playing covered a wide range of emotions.

The last movement, Agnus Dei, was extremely dramatic as the singers' supplications for "inward and outward peace" were interrupted by the trumpet calls of war. The several tempo transitions in this movement were managed smoothly and effectively...
