"Thoroughly engaging. ... Hester Prynne at Death began fulfilling its potential in the section called 'Chillingworth', the second of seven, wherein Hester's repetition of her estranged husband's name indeed seemed to bring us right to the core of her mental processes. ... [Composer Stephen] Paulus provided motoric, genuinely threatening instrumental writing. He also brought authentic drama to the choral pieces, both the agitated accusatory ones 'Goodwives' and 'The Harlot Prynne', and the serene, mournful 'Pastor Dimmesdale'."
