The Chapel Choir clearly absorbed the chapel's magical ambience as they delivered a fine performance of some extremely challenging repertoire: Statham responses, two settings of the psalms, John Taverner’s extraordinary unaccompanied Magnificat & Nunc Dimitis and Boyce’s demanding anthem, ‘Oh where shall wisdom be found?’.
Director of Chapel Music, Simon Taranczuk, coaxed a vibrant and rich musical depth from this ensemble.
There were some excellent solo contributions from Flora Ward, Ellen Arkwright, Edmund Haxby, Emma Finlayson, James Bell and William Symington and Ian Crabbe hopped effortlessly between the majestic full organ and the intricate chamber organ, which was effectively incorporated for the Boyce. |
