We
can vouch for the friendliness of this great choir, but let
the Birmingham Post speak for our musicianship in performance:

| Performing
Brittens A Boy was Born must be rather like taking part
in an Olympic Decathlon: you need stamina, technical command,
awesome breath-control, agility and loads of nerve. The Birmingham
Bach Choir breasted the tape after an impressive display of
discipline, concentration and resource. Bachs B
minor Mass in Symphony Hall: Conductor Paul Spicer has
trained these highly committed amateurs to sing as though members
of one of the tiny chamber choirs he directs so brilliantly.
Phrasing is supple and almost instrumental
Mozart
Requiem and Haydn Nelson Mass in the Adrian Boult
Hall: From the unforced steady tread of Mozarts
opening Requiem Aeternam to the closing bars of Haydns
Dona Nobis Pacem this was an evening of disciplined choral
singing, full of concentrated energy with vocal lines at the
loudest seemingly carved out of granite, and at the quietest
bathed in a vibrant glow. |
