"If Parsifal mixes religion and sex, MacMillan mixes Catholicism and anger. This work (The World's Ransoming) combines references to plainsong and a Bach chorale with the violence and dissonance of which its composer is a master ... the solo part was plangently played by Christine Pendrill" Sunday Telegraph concert review

“Sir Colin Davis and the LSO bring out the mainstream qualities of James MacMillan's orchestral music. With such assured playing, you're more conscious than ever of the ways in which both these works offer new angles on that archetypal battle between good and evil in which rampant percussion and snarling wind and brass fail to prevail against aspiring strings.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2008
