Michael Steinberg says 'I hear in this Symphony an extraordinary feeling for the sound of poetry and for its meanings, a sure skill in timing and in plotting the motions from event to event, and beyond any question, that gift without which you might as well give up being a composer, the gift of writing music that keeps you fully absorbed.'
Boston Globe, March 1972
