    Didn't sound very KCC to me.
    Well when I listened on Wednesday I didn't immediately remember it was KCC as I'd missed the first few minutes and so the "welcome to" bit , and in the absence of swimming pool acoustics and plummy trebles KCC wasn't my first thought for location/forces...
    I don't know about the acoustics but the treble sound is presumably a reflection of the change of DoM?

      I thought it was all top class. For me it was the back rows that caught my ears. I thought their tone was a bit more open than we've been used to hearing from King's, but it suited the repertoire. Whatever one thinks of Huge Blare in B minor (in my case, not a lot), King's certainly gave it a good wellying.

        Quite agree.
