The Globe and Mail says:
"To sing some of those choruses at Taurins' speeds, with every note clear and in place, is an almost superhuman achievement... The orchestra, of course, effortlessly provided the ideal accompaniment and rhythmic impetus... [This is] one of the best Messiahs I have ever heard. Hear it if you can."
