Comments on our Performances
Haydn's Creation/Mozart's Mass in C Minor, May 2010
Congratulations, Richard, on another splendid concert. The Mozart was
superb and Katherine Fuge absolutely sublime. I do hope that she will sing
with the choir again in the future.
Beethoven's
9th Symphony, January 2009
I
have heard so far five very strongly positive comments on the performance,
including two from German colleagues who were astounded at the quality of
performance, and asked whether this was usual for small English
towns. D.W.
Congratulations
on last night's concert. We (3 of us) all enjoyed it hugely, aided by the
terrific programme notes. It was certainly the right music to give
us a lift and seemed to have just the right venue. L.L.
People
I saw afterwards were all very enthusiastic about the concert

Vaughan
Williams Jan 2010
Just
wanted to let you know how much my husband and I enjoyed the Vaughan Williams
concert on Saturday, especially the Sea Symphony. It was beautifully
performed by the choir and orchestra - they did full justice to this
wonderful music. I sang with Durham Choral Society (alto) for
several years when I worked in Durham, but since changing my job I now
sing with Cleveland Philharmonic Choir. We are going to be singing the Sea
Symphony in July as part of the Tall Ships celebration in Hartlepool, and
if we can match your performance last Saturday, I will be very pleased!
Please pass on my congratulations to the choir for such a lovely concert
J.W.
(From
an audience member who is very fussy about his music): brilliant!
I.B.
Under
your direction both choir and orchestra, not forgetting the soloists, made
this concert a really special and very moving occasion. I think the whole
audience must have felt it, judging by the almost stunned few minutes
silence, when you could have heard a pin drop, after the exquisite
pianissimo fading out of the music. G.S.
I
don't know about you but the Sea Symphony is still swimming around in my
mind! As we have come to expect the cathedral takes over music and
sends it into a higher sphere of awe and appreciation and last week was no
exception. R.B. (Musical Director)
