Although composer Ernest Walker dismissed the work, writing in 1924 that "Musicians today have no use for "The Crucifixion", and even Stainer characterized his work as "rubbish," [John Stainer, [http://www.classicalnotes.co.uk/notes/stainer1.html "The Crucifixion"] , from classicalnotes.co.uk] the work continues to be recorded and performed today.
