"The vibrant orchestral playing of the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and singing of the sublime RIAS Kammerchor make this worth hearing. Rossini's orchestral colors, especially winds and brass, have a piquant flavor that's missing from other recordings. The choir is stunning and easily negotiates the long piano and pianissimo lines of the a cappella Quando corpus morietur. An interesting interpretation that sheds some new light on Rossini's most popular sacred work."

"Creed's reading is full of character; immensely strong but always sensitively paced... The soloists themselves, young and highly talented, are excellent, more than a match for most rival teams... It is a long time since I enjoyed a performance of the Stabat mater as much as this."
