'''Review:''' Joel Crotty, ‘Chorus celebrating en masse’, ''Age'', 8 February 1995, p.A3:8. "For more than half a century the choral societies from universities across Australia have gathered annually to present a series of concerts … This year the finale [sic] program focused on Bruckner’s E minor Mass and Kodaly’s Missa Brevis, and the large choir handled the material reasonably well … [T]he Brucknerian quirks occasionally pushed the choir out of their confort zone. There were, however, some beautiful moments, particularly in the legato phrasing, while the dynamic shading was given some thoughtful attention."
