Recent Press Comments
'Of the
Father's Heart Begotten' - Seasonal Christmas music.
"It was interesting to compare the mystical atmosphere
of Of the Father's Heart Begotten with the nimble,
jazzy John Rutter Shepherd's Pipe Carol. The contrast
could not have been greater and it showed how flexible this
choir is."
"Haydn's Te
Deum was sung by the choir with crisp clarity and neat
responses to the changes of mood."
Brahms - Ein
deutsches Requiem "We have come to expect
wonders from Wokingham Choral, but on this occasion they
surpassed expectation and gave a faultless performance
".
Mendelssohn - Elijah
"The response of the chorus to their self-inflicted
woes captured every nuance of their emotional turmoil and
the semi-chorus sang with winsome sensitivity".
A Maiden
Most Gentle - Carols for Choir and Audience "As
always, the society's singing was well-rehearsed and
polished."
