Brahms/Wagner:
'Stutzmann’s approach highlighted (the) differences, with a strong sense of control in the Brahms, and a slow build to a very expansive climax in the Wagner'.
Mozart:
'The absolute star by far of the evening, however, was the BBC National Chorus of Wales (five stars for them!)'.
BBC National Chorus of Wales:
'They performed with conviction, impeccable tuning and precision throughout'.
'The chorus impressed with their stamina and full-on energy to the final chord'.
