Thank you Tom and Yorkie for the kind words. I only wish I could remember more of the concert details. The moments during the performance are so transitory. How much I wish the concerts were filmed.Yorkie wrote: ↑<span title="Mon Jan 07, 2019 7:04 pm">5 years ago</span> Thanks to Andrzej and Sabine for their fantastic and insightful reviews - I can only echo the praise that everybody else has given in that it really does transport us to the concert through your eyes and ears.
I'm so pleased that Jack's Russian speech was so well received. I had no idea what he was saying at Brighton (or how well he said it) but he did it with great confidence. This I find amazing because I was terrified of public speaking well in to my adult years and so the fact that these lads can get on stage and perform and do solos and speeches at their young age fills me with admiration. Bravo to each and every one of them.
At St Philip's after the Nine Lessons service I was lucky enough to catch a quick work with Eleanor and I congratulated her and the 'team' on the outstanding concert performances this year. I think in the 10 years I have been going to concerts they have never been so consistently good in their performances as they have been this year. I thought Ely was fantastic but it seems they just got better and better as the year went on.
Let's hope that 2019 brings more of the same (and of course more of the new as well)
Yes, Jack's speech was a precious moment indeed. Jack was flawless and his wide smile at the end just made all of us feel happy with him.
I don't have that much experience in attending Libera concerts as you have, Yorkie, but I must agree, that all four this year's concerts, which I was lucky to attend, were all very, very good with the best ones in Ely and Moscow.
