Juilliard 415 excels in French and Italian Baroque in Auckland

Simon Holden, 28th February

In each brief and catchy excerpt, the ensemble played with infectious vitality and admirable precision.

Dynamic start to Juilliard415's New Zealand tour

Simon Holden, 26th May

On the basis of this concert, the graduate ensemble Juilliard415 (named after the standard Baroque pitch of 415 Hz) is already of extremely high quality indeed, technically proficient and highly in-tune with Baroque style.

Le Bach Choir et le RPO en manque d'inspiration

Julie Jozwiak, 7th June

Dimanche 7 juin 2015, le Royal Philharmonic Orchestra et le Bach Choir donnaient l'oratorio Elias de Mendelssohn au Royal Festival Hall, sous la direction de David Hill. Une grosse déception : pas d’émotion et pas de sens du sacré.

A magnificent Sea Symphony from the Bach Choir

David Truslove, 17th November

A memorable evening of superb music-making at the Royal Festival Hall, illuminating two well-known Vaughan Williams scores and shining a light on a seldom performed rarity.

*****

Coleridge-Taylor shines at the Three Choirs Festival

Simon Cummings, 27th July

The world premiere of Gabriel Jackson’s ambitious but inert The World Imagined and a complacent Enigma Variations are outclassed by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s gorgeous Solemn Prelude at Worcester Cathedral.

Sunny Brahms, but musical tensions minimised in Bournemouth

Edward Sava-Segal, 10th March

David Hill conducted the orchestra in a programme under the heading "Love Lost and Found".

David Smythe

David the farmer was drawn into music through choirs, orchestras, taking part in and directing 'serious' opera as a student. Passionate about live classical music, particularly chamber opera, unusual pieces and events and giving the next generation the tools to engage with the classical world.
