Review:
“The Mass is a grand work, not often heard, and it presents plenty of problems for the [Morgan State College Choir] and soloists…they deserve credit for surmounting Walk-er’s challenges. Cast in dense extended tonality of the composer’s later idiom, the Mass is notable for its dark, imposing treatment for the text. The real find here is the perfor-mance of the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat major, Op. 83…It is an extraordi-nary reading, urgent and commanding... But you owe it to yourself to hear the young George Walker play the Brahms…” (James Manheim)
