Author: Stanley Sadie
There is an excellent team of soloists, singing together impressively in the ''Quoniam''; clearly Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and Anne Sofie von Otter enjoy their duetting in the ''Domine Deus''. I was a good deal less happy in the ''Et incarnatus'', however, truly the heart of the work: it is taken very slowly and Te Kanawa is distinctly heavy in tone and manner, with excessive vibrato and some moments in the divisions where the intonation is just marginally flawed. Still, this remains a performance of unusual vigour and passion, well played and well sung, and one that fully captures the grandeur of the music.'
