- Haydn: Creation
Julia Sporsén (soprano), Thomas Hobbs (tenor), Andrew Rupp (baritone)
Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus
Manchester Camerata, Paul Brough
“...they sang with superb control, excellent balance and restrained power when not letting rip a suitably mighty fortissimo ‘light’ on the first day of creation, while being equal to Brough’s nimble rhythmic demands for The Heavens Are Telling.” Sheffield Telegraph
“Isn’t it wonderful when everything goes right? A choir on top form, an orchestra with the correct sense of style, soloists to match [...] The score is beautifully written for choir, and the Philharmonic Chorus responded with almost the stylistic panache of the orchestra, using small-scale detailed articulation or powerful blockbuster chords as required.” Yorkshire Post
