We went last Saturday to see Carmina Burana performed at the Royal Albert Hall. It was brilliant. With six percussionists and four hundred voices what more could you ask for?
Details: ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA with ROYAL CHORAL SOCIETY LONDON and PHILHARMONIC CHOIR plus ENGLISH CONCERT CHORUS and THE SOUTHEND BOYS' CHOIR. Andrew Greenwood conductor. Soloists - Rachel Nicholls soprano Christopher Turner tenor and Richard Morrison baritone (very comical). Stephen Disley played the organ for the Saint-Saens third symphony which we also had along with Berlioz' Rákóczy March from The Damnation of Faust.
We drove down. Did you know that you can park right outside the Hall at that time? Amazing.
