“It’s a glorious, eclectic mishmash of a score, with lush swathes of late-Romantic slush enlivened by passages of astonishing, quirky invention...Things never become too kitsch, and de Sabata cunningly spices up his late-Romantic palate with dissonant brass fanfares and aggressive, strident chorus writing. It’s all wonderfully enjoyable”
