'Kinga Ujszászi led the bright and lively string band, and the ECSE's vibrant cornett flourishes and rich sackbut tones added glorious colour'.
'Tenor Nicholas Mulroy was the star of the evening, his Nigra sum, accompanied by Aileen Henry on harp, was simply stunning, with intense passion, richness in the bass range, and incredibly controlled decresdendi on “veni”'.
'... their Duo Seraphim was frankly astonishing, with wrenching suspensions and startling, stuttering ornaments, perfectly matched one after the other'.
'The singers were constantly alive to duos or trios within the textures, responding to each other and clearly enjoying when their lines came together'.
'A special performance that will not be forgotten'.
