Mr. Music of the Millennium
Andrew David, BBC Radio Nottingham, September 1999

Judging by the audience reaction, Steadman has certainly supplied an accessible work in his Magnificat and the choir, too, enjoyed performing it. It was unashamedly showy: a heady mixture of Carl Orff and Andrew Lloyd Webber, with a touch of Michael Nyman thrown in for good measure.
