1 out of 5 stars Weak performance.......2006-01-05

This is the only recording of this work that is available. Unfortunantly the performance is so weak, it is impossible to tell whether or not the composition has any merit. I am reminded of a statement that Schoenberg made that his music is not modern, it is badly played.

The major problem is with the chorus. I have heard high school ensembles that have performed with more polish. The quality of their sound is anemic, their intonation is off in places and their entrances are frequently ragged.

Although most of the instrumental playing is good, there are some rough spots.

Too bad, this work probably deserves better.
