There was very accomplished singing in this CE, the sound was always beautiful, blended and delivered with expression and communication. Highlights were the Introit and Prayer Anthem, but especially very moving was the anthem with text from the Song of Solomon. Sumsion in A always a pleasure. Good to hear the organist enjoying ‘painting’ the text in the psalms, especially 29 (a gift if you’ve got the colours, which this organ has). Terrific final voluntary. This choral initiative has been very rewarding, the best CE in the series IMHO.
