... a magnificent and thrilling performance... From the opening bars, the fervent and enthusiastic choir produced a good balance between parts, a rich warm tone, and wonderfully clear diction throughout. They managed the colossal emotional swings which characterise the work (Verdi's Requiem) with aplomb ... An evening, then of many soul-stirring moments. |
‘With Lichfield Canticle John Rutter has added a significant addition to English choral repertoire. The music is contactable and the impact of such lovely sound is immediate.’ Birmingham Mail (18 December 1972) |
