I had almost given up on The Choir, but having been alerted that Stuttgart Chamber Choir's recent CD was to be given a spin,, I decided to tune in. And apart from IMV unnecessary interruptions, this:
Ludwig van Beethoven
Mass in C
Singer: Maria Keohane. Singer: Margot Oitzinger. Singer: Thomas Hobbs. Singer: Sebastian Noack. Choir: Stuttgart Chamber Choir. Orchestra: Stuttgart Hofkapelle. Conductor: Frieder Bernius.
...was fantastic. Wonderful straight voices, clear orchestral textures and an A1 soloist line-up, including our own Tom Hobbs.
