Conducted admirably by Zvonimir Hacko. . . the ensemble . . . gave an impressively dramatic performance. Part's music is spare, at times unbearable, and therefore an appropriate treatment of the subject of persecution and crucifixion. Its dissonance comes from his chord clusters, seesawing melodies with broad dizzying intervals and crisscrossing harmonies. These elements were approached intelligently and painstakingly by the conductor, ensemble and soloists.
