Comments from the audience:
"Andrew Simpson's Surge, Illuminare was very tuneful with exciting and dramatic word-painting""The glorious polyphony of the
Byrd Vigilate was given a very spirited
performance"
" The Tavener 'God is
with us' was also terrrific and Steve Dean did a great job
with the solos. I always fear the full organ entry which
tends to make the choir sound flat even when it
isn't! But not on this occasion"
"Two (perhaps surprising) highlights for me were the
unaccompanied verse in O come all ye faithful
which was simply perfect, and the encore E'en so, Lord
Jesus by Paul Manz"
