"...a sure, confident, expertly engineered piece of soloist-versus-orchestra<br />
showmanship... Veni, Veni, Emmanuel arrests attention from the first downbeat.<br />
MacMillan's harmonic signalling and underpinning are lucid. His gestures are graphic<br />
in vividness, focused in purpose, powerful yet economical in musculature."<br />
(Financial Times)<br />
"...strong, punchy rhythms, instant accessibility, an exuberant physicality in the sounds<br />
produced by both orchestra and soloist, and, at its centre, a more meditative section<br />
of a haunting, incantatory tranquility." (Daily Telegraph)<br />

"This work is quintessential MacMillan. It progresses relentlessly from spaciously<br />
looming towers of string tone to outbursts of terror... the strength of feeling is<br />
irresistible; bursting with love, pain and tenderness..." (Opera)<br />
