"Matthew Larkin's rendition of the (St. Matthew) Passion must be counted among the finest achievements of his years in Ottawa."
Richard Todd, Ottawa Citizen, March 2010.

"Larkin's handling of the 3rd stanza (of his wife in winter) was brilliant and his chorus sang beautifully."

"the apocalyptic finale was gripping and after the entrance of the chorus, uplifting as well.  The singers of the Choral Society had a fine, homogenous sound, just the thing for its work in this symphony".

David Currie - conductor
The Ottawa Citizen, October 2007.

"Matthew Larkin guided his Choral Society through a programme of a very high standard, musically honest and elegantly interpreted.  (The Bach) Magnificat received a very refined performance (which) was stylistically coherent."
