“…since 2010 the choruses have been sung by Cappella Romana, the city’s finest choir.… Given their long experience with the piece (and a wide range of other music besides), Cappella Romana was unsurprisingly terrific; their performance was a model of Handel performance and worth the price of admission on its own. Within and across sections, blend and intonation were impeccable, and attention to the text so careful you could have taken dictation. Some moments—“For unto us a child is born,” for example, were pure choral pleasure, while others, such as “Let all the angels” and “The Lord gave the word,” conveyed the implacable force of a fiery sermon.” —James McQuillen, Artslandia
