Review:
Somerset Chamber Choir's concert in aid of the Somerset Hospice on Sunday, April
14th, was, as ever, a sell-
True to form, the choir's performances were of the highest standard. Under the direction
of their musically alert conductor Graham Caldbeck, Vivaldi's Credo, Bach's Cantata
140 Wachet auf ruft uns die Stimme and Handel's Laudate pueri Dominum all received
well-
At the beginning of the second half Jonathan Gunthorpe gave a subtle and sensitive performance of Bach’s cantata for solo baritone, Ich habe genug, revelling in the work's beauty and variety and ably partnered by Hilary Stock as the important solo oboe.
Perhaps the only complaint about this entire evening's outstanding performance was
its duration -
