"Puccini's early Mass is not a great piece of religious music, but its virtues shine forth in Pappano's loving performance."
- Five Stars BBC Music Mag (Sept 2006)
"Maestro Pappano's obvious belief in lesser-known Puccini seems to have inspired the London Symphony Chorus and Orchestra to the peak of their abilities.The stars of the disc remain the London Symphony Chorus, whose unanimity of approach, well-drilled discipline and dedication to the Puccinian cause are beyond reproach."
MusicWeb Oct 2001
"In the Mass, Antonio Pappano easily outshines his rivals on disc, enhancing the operatic element in the score. He has ideal soloists in Alagna and Hampson, and the London Symphony Chorus and Orchestra are in incandescent form. The couplings are welcome, aptly chosen and very well played."
