Comments on our performance of "The Dream of Gerontius"
"I’d like to
thank everyone for an impressive evening, which was most definitely worth
the trip from North London.
Martin Hindmarsh gave us a fine interpretation and the orchestra played very
well. The chorus was impressive
throughout (even in the exposed multiple-part writing) and had a sonorous,
rich sound in the big climaxes. All in all, a very fine evening."
"Awesome
experience – Jennifer Westwood was in fine voice. (D+M
from Bournemouth)"
" All of the soloists were strong and very expressive. Jennifer Westwood’s voice has a particularly lovely quality in its lower register and Anthony Cunningham was a sonorous and imposing Priest/Angel of the Agony. Nicholas Sales was an impressive Gerontius, capable of lovely soft, sensitive phrases, yet also having the power for the big climaxes".
"The balance was
wonderful ... Maidstone Choral Union's rich sound– with the voices of
Maidstone Singers Choir and the Choir from the Invicta Girls’ Grammar School
drifting over the hall – spine tingling."
