Writing reviews is getting more demanding these days. 8) My last one was a shared review of a concert and an album, the current one is supposed to have a view on two, if not three concerts, because I didn’t manage to write an Ely review. Here are my thoughts. In Brighton a presence at the sound chec...

A - Z I agree with you completely. :) Did you know that the blue whale is so big, that if you laid it end to end in the quire of Westminster Abbey… ...evensong would be cancelled. :lol: :mrgreen: :lol: Ok, the world obviously is not a wishing whale. Sounds fishy. But I suppose we must be whale-comi...

I wonder if this nomenclature issue is less prevalent in the English-speaking world and this is what causes the issue? Yes, that would be interesting to explore. The reasons may lie deeply in regional history: How was it handled where in the beginnings of this type of choir and how went it on? I ca...

By the way, Libera's e-mail from Monday with the concert announcement was the first message if have received from them since I registered for the mailing list almost two years ago. Hope it helped :P Same here, I've never received an e-mail from them. But still, it's too late to get a good seat. I w...

I thought they were all good although I'm not sure I would have allowed the one with adult singers to participate (think they were Norwegian). Hmmm, I have to disagree here. Most boys choirs consist of SATB voices, which means including men's voices for the tenor and bass parts on a regular basi...

I was recently told that I tend to vacillate between choirs, which was a very apt description of me, as I admit that I will quickly switch allegiance based on the latest performance I have heard. [...] The best treble choir in London? It depends... 8) I can certainly understand being under the effe...

I like St. Florianer Sängerknaben as well. They too deserve an own thread. But well, two critics come to my mind about the Nuremberg Festival: The organ was too loud, when the Escolanía sang. They seemed to become aware and then it was better. And the choir stands in St. Lorenz (concerts 2 and 4) lo...

I know this video was posted in the other thread, but I feel it deserves to be posted again here, as it very much showcases their best qualities. I does. It was no less than divine. I'm hoping for "El Cant dels Ocells" to be published, too. There are versions on YouTube, but in Nuremberg ...

You beat me to it, Yorkie, I still wanted to reply to some critics here, now I can include you. ;) Just talking about the final concert, it definitely was not the evening of the soloists (can anyone tell us how they handled it for the other concerts?). I just remember Escolania to have had a treb...

I only would have liked the moderator of the final concert to do his homework in time. He started with calling them EscolOnía, with effort reading their name from a paper, next time he said it correctly, then returned to pronouncing it wrong twice. I found this embarrassing. He also had to ask the ...

Several times I have written down all my enthusiasm about how good the Escolanía de Montserrat is and how much I like them, and I can't believe to never have dedicated them their own thread. It's high time and here's a link to the thread about the Nuremberg Boys Choir Festival , where they very rece...

They heard us cry about the late announcement of the July concerts and balanced it out with an early one now.

So here are a few thoughts of mine about the Nuremberg Boys Choir Festival two weeks ago. I'm terrible with reviews this year, have a very black conscience because of the Libera concert, while the next ones are already in close sight, but I can't help it, I'm afraid. Anyway, Nuremberg! Four concerts...

from a musical point of view, it is also necessary that the young boys get more experience, and that the older ones still get opportunities to sing with the group while they are young enough. I think we should be glad about that. It is not just about us attending or not :D . And honestly, I am not ...

Regarding the tickets, I wouldn't stand back only because the sale looks bad like getting worse seats in the moment of ordering them. We all know that at shortest notice things can change and opportunities may open for better, sometimes just fabulous seats. The local ticket market may not stop until...
