Karl Jenkins - Adiemus:
Songs of Sanctuary & Requiem
“Jenkins was done justice:
The second half of the programme, Karl’s Requiem, brought
the full choir into operation who gave of their all, especially in the Dies Irae, and the tenors, who gave an effective
contribution in the Pie Jesu.
It was obvious the choir enjoyed singing these works and,
under the enthusiastic direction of Nicholas woods, sang well, always giving 100 per cent.”
Frank Fowler, Basingstoke Gazette
Handel – Messiah
“Popular work given a refreshing revamp:
It was a great treat to hear a truly inspired and rousing
performance of Handel’s Messiah, conducted with verve by the society’s regular director, Nicholas Woods, and supported
by the Ella Chamber Orchestra, led by Nick Beach.
Success was demonstrated by the outstanding audience ovation
and it was pleasing to hear a popular and often-performed work given a refreshingly original and energetic interpretation.”
