    Allmusic [3]

    The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek stated "Hearing the fine studio
    recording of Westbrook's magnum opus Rossini made for some trepidation
    at the prospect of a live recording of the work. ... The result is staggering.
    Whatever little is lost in the recording quality due to the unpredictability of
    live dynamics is more than compensated for in a performance so dramatic,
    swinging, and joyful it is breathtaking. ... Live, it's even tougher to grasp
    because there is no safety net, no alternate takes or editing to round out
    the rough spots. It's all one can do to take it in and not roll about the floor
    with your hands over your head, tears streaming in such blessed out
    delight you will cause your loved ones unnecessary worry. You'll listen for
    decades and still not comprehend the wonder if it. Yes, it is that good".[3]
