“It would be hard to imagine a more effective and beautiful performance than the one that Moody drew from his[orchestra].” – Classic Voice of North Carolina
“The unusual daintiness Moody brought to this section proved on effective setup to the glorious, fortissimo rising chords that open the finale. All told, the orchestra gave a beautifully focused, fully energized performance of the (Beethoven) Fifth, with all the necessary elements in place, …and above all, a sense of drama and grandeur.” – Allan Kozinn, Portland Press Herald
