"There were plenty of spine-tingling moments in a Carnegie Hall performance of the (Verdi)Requiem by The Collegiate Chorale...The Chorale sounded in fine form throughout the evening, and sang with shattering power."
Vivien Schweitzer, The New York Times
"The members of the Collegiate Chorale responded exquisitely to him(Daniele Callegari), especially during moments of hushed solemnity. Their singing of the opening, in particular, seemed to radiate an aura of sonic softness that carried a rapturous effect"
Eric Myers, Opera News
"The Collegiate Chorale...consistently conveyed the sublimely tragic tone Gluck's beautifully restrained score must have."
"The Collegiate Chorale sang with its customary robust sound, skill and involvement. Mr. Bass conducted a sweeping and authoritative performance."
Anthony Tommasini, The New York Times
"Robert Bass's Collegiate Chorale performances have become essential events, deploying temperature raising soloists against choral power and sheen."
David Shengold, TimeOut New York
"The excellent Collegiate Chorale has been putting on important opera performances . . .[that are] now an important part of New York's musical life."
George Loomis, The New York Sun
"Never before have I heard this mass - often described as Verdi's "last opera" - as dynamically and as sensitively performed. Robert Bass's fantastically well-prepared chorus provided stunning nuances...from internalized pianissimos to the warmest forte of the Dies Irae."
Neue Merker, (Austria)
"Here was a night, where we could touch heaven with our fingertips."
Rocco Zacheo, Le Temps
