Press Reviews
Elgar: The Banner of St George
“ Under Paul Ingram’s energetic baton, both chorus and orchestra attacked the piece with gusto, capturing the varying moods eloquently and with great warmth… this was a really gutsy performance — one of the best I’ve heard from this choir. “
Nicola Lisle, Oxford Times July 2010
Bach: B-minor Mass
“…continues to go from strength to strength, as Friday’s performance of Bach’s technically demanding Mass in B Minor amply demonstrated. It would be easy for such a large choir to become a little ragged around the edges, but the singers fused together beautifully, making a gloriously cohesive and confident sound. ”
Nicola Lisle, Oxford Times December 2009
Tippet: Child of Our Time
“..what a stunning performance this was, packed with emotion and dramatic intensity. The spirituals were particularly stirring with the choir making full use of dynamics to give a powerful and fervent delivery.”
Nicola Lisle, Oxford Times April 2009
