Monteverdi, Claudio (1567-1643): Vespro della Beata Vergine, SV 206
'Tenor Nicholas Mulroy was the stand out star of proceedings, his Nigra sum, with Aileen Henry’s beautiful harp accompaniment, a masterclass of controlled virtuosity'.
'It was this bright and more soloistic approach that made for such a consistent flow of interest and variety, whilst their ability to come together as one in the fuller choral sections produced a truly electric energy'.
'The cornetts rippled, the sackbuts glowed, the strings provided bright and nimble energy'.
'(Hollingworth's) lightness of touch yet authoritative beat allowed singers and instrumentalists the space to perform with individuality within a coherent common shape'.
'If I could add a further star, I would'.
