“In this recording, Leif Segerstam, choir, orchestra and soloists present themselves as a homogeneous and suggestively working ensemble, which does justice to the spirit of the piece in a stylistically confident manner. Segerstam often conducts quite slowly and very expressively, with beautifully calm passages and a dramatic final part. Jussi Myllys has a light, soft, but characteristisc voice that is well suited for the role of Christ. The big, creamy, round voice of Hanna-Leena Haapamäki is very flexible. Niklas Spangberg is also a good cast in the role of Peter. The choir is excellent too.” *****
