A top class choir singing expressively with contrasts of strength and gentleness. The singers benefitted from a clear distant acoustic. The Dibble/Stanford Responses were fun, trying to identify the sources. The minus point was the vague stability of a home key.
I particularly enjoyed the gentle beauty of the Elgar and the Lloyd chant to Psalm 137. Good to hear some thrilling Vierne to close.

Yes, I found the psalm singing most rewarding to listen to.

The producer worked a minor miracle given what a small building it is.

There is NO CE rpt on Sundays during Proms season as far as I can see.
Am I right?

[underthecountertenor]

Not quite right. The repeats are sacrificed if there is a Prom taking place at 3 pm on Sunday.

Thank you.
