"Music
the greatest good that mortals know" |
|
"After hearing
just the opening bars by the Cwmbach Choir it was immediately obvious
that this was going to be a World class performance. The final part
of the concert was an emotional one for me although I found out
later that I was not alone. Aside from the highly charged emotions
and thrilling experience I particularly noticed the roundness of
the sound and evenness which all choirs try to achieve. This together
with singing from the heart, made for pure magic."
|
|
"The ability,
versatility, confidence and hwyl of the Choir drew a standing ovation
from the audience of 400 which included the Lord Mayor of Oxford."
|
|
"The 80 voice
Choir delighted the audience with a diverse repertoire of songs
from Opera to favourite hymns. At times their voices were as smooth
as silk as they crooned a Welsh ballad whilst in other pieces the
volume they created sent chills up the spine."
|
|
"The Cwmbach
Choir displayed great virtuosity as they went through their repertoire."
|
|
"This choir
has the best second bass section I have heard in years. The choir
has a wide dynamic range and sings with a full throated choralism
and frequently the effect was quite thrilling. Their soft singing
was also particularly lovely. Prestigious singing indeed."
|
|
"This choirs
precision and dynamics have to be heard to be believed. To receive
such rapturous applause from a Welsh audience living in the cradle
of welsh male choirs is certainly the finest accolade any choir
could receive."
|
|
"A beautiful
performance - well disciplined and with great charm."
|
|
"The best
body of voices in the competition so far."
|
|
"Their performance
was an exhilarating experience, one to remember."
|
|
"It is a
very great pleasure to renew my friendship with Wales through the
medium of the Cwmbach Choir and I am pleased to have had the opportunity
of singing with them."
