Beautiful. A pleasure to hear even in the dry acoustic, but they'll be used to that! Trendell's Responses are lovely too.

A superb Evensong indeed .
On an arguably unrelated note I thought the ROH chorus were in fine voice at the Eugene Onegin rehearsal last week - and yet again putting in some good moves in those peasant dances ….

Yes, one of the most involving and enjoyable in recent times imho… I have ‘attended’ this service of Evensong twice (so far)!

Thank you. I pass that on to my colleagues! The marriage of dance and opera is rarely a felicitous one on a technical front - one or the suffers by turns (pun intended!) but this one is always fun.
