"[Marriner's] reading of the 'Gloria'-a jaunty convocation of shepherds and angels that almost rivals Beethoven's ''Ode to Joy'' in its populist fervour-is every bit as lively as Handt's was. And there is no doubting the superiority of Marriner's soloists. Gimenez is especially fine, either alone or carolling with Araiza in the ''Christe eleison'."
Gramophone
"Marriner's account replaces Handt's earlier version, good though that was, for he has a starry team of soloists, Sumi Jo notably fresh-voiced and Giménez equally memorable."
