        It was a wonderful hour's music. Stile Antico just work so well together - and as soloists. If anyone gets the chance to hear the repeat I suggest that the encore is the one section which should not be missed. The Silver Swan - in a performance which must rank as the most sensitive music-making I have heard this year.

            I hope it comes over well in sound only. The pleasant atmosphere of Cadogan Hall on a bright and sunny day, with an expectantant and appreciative audience, added to the overall impact of the wonderful music.

              What a wonderful piece the Ramsey is! I sang it for the first time only a couple of weeks ago & wondered how I'd managed so long without it.
