Live 'Gerontius' from Wales 7.11.14

[Nick Armstrong]

Very good and powerful performance, I thought - a rather too wobbly-fruity 'Angel' (Anna Larsson) the only drawback, for me... Some really cracking stuff (towards the end especially) from the tenor (Peter Hoare - never heard of him, someone to watch), good bass and choir & orchestra really delivering the goods under Mark Wigglesworth.

I'm going to a performance at the Colston Hall at the end of this month - Susan Bickley and Mark Padmore with the BSO and Adrian Partington (with the local BCS Singers ) And David Stout is the baritone.

Peter Hoare sings quite regularly with WNO.

A perfect summation. Wiggy really is all class.

Peter Hoare also sang the title role in ENO's Damnation of Faust.
