This was a wonderful concert, both of the Chichester Psalms And Carmina Burana, with the almost full house audience it deserved. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that the counter-tenor was clearly stretched beyond his range in his first solo (written for tenor) which was distressing to listen to.
An excellent, outstanding performance of Verdi's Requiem by the combined orchestra and choir presentation. Great to see that it was so well attended with the Town Hall packed.
This was absolutely stunning. The huge choir, the magnificent soloists, the wonderful orchestra and the superb conductor made Auckland Choral Society's performance of Verdi's Requiem simply outstanding. Could not be bettered on any world stage. Deeply moving and impressive beyond words. Heartfelt thanks to all the hundreds involved in bringing this great work to the Auckland Town Hall on Sunday evening.
