    RIAS Chamber Choir - Like a Phoenix

    Just spent a happy hour with headphones. A really enjoyable concert...a seamless progression of choral music interspersed with short organ improvisations by Martin Baker.

    Listen without limits, with BBC Sounds. Catch the latest music tracks, discover binge-worthy podcasts, or listen to radio shows – all whenever you want


    NB The RIAS Chamber Choir has recently released its 2020 Messiah on CD, same conductor and great soloist line-up, including Julia Doyle, Tim Mead, Tom Hobbs and Roddy Williams. If you want a fantastically well-played Messiah, this is for you. It's not quite 'English', somehow. I can't explain why! Any comments welcome.......

      Westminster Cathedral connections. Martin Baker was organist until fairly recently, and Justin Doyle a chorister in the later 1980s.

      Here's the Berlin programme:

        Yes superlative concert and a great format to eliminate presenter interruptions!
        "...the isle is full of noises,
        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          In this case I agree! Though sometimes EMS, especially when there is an 'expert' guest, can be fascinating and informative. The recent episode about Padilla and before that Vincenzo Galilei (lutenist) were pretty good, I thought.
