sawylVery enjoyable choral prom this evening. Lucy Crowe's performance of Exultate Jubilate was dazzling and reminded me why I love Mozart's vocal writing. The Fauré in the second half was also excellent, once I got used to the King's College sound and the (excellent) treble soloist in the Pie Jesu. Roderick Williams was excellent in the baritone solos and the closing In Paradisum was as beautiful as ever, balancing the orchestra, organ and choir perfectly for a hopeful finish the concert.
