"On Sunday afternoon, the Chancel Choir of Grace United Methodist Church and Hopkins Symphony Orchestra teamed up for a performance of Puccini’s Messa di Gloria. . . [that] had expressive fire. Bass soloist Robert Cantrell excelled. Jed Gaylin’s conducting was consistently impressive, with a propulsive sweep that allowed the lyricism to linger."

"Though few young violinists have such a consistently distinguished discography, Hilary Hahn has delivered what is easily her best recording so far: Edward Elgar's Violin Concerto (Deutsche Grammophon ***1/2 out of four) in a more than excellent performance that has an air of karmic inevitability.....But the best qualities in Hahn's performance were present in her first outing with the piece four years ago with an amateur orchestra at Johns Hopkins University...."

"In Webern's deliciously off-beat transcription of Bach's
Ricecare and even more so in Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, Gaylin
inspired a determined expressiveness. Outbursts in the Schubert work
packed considerable weight, effectively underlining the dark beauty of
the music."
