This orchestra was amazing. So precise and perfect. I imagine they spend tons of hours rehearsing and it certainly shows. I personally did not really enjoy the male singer even though he did a beautiful job and everyone loved him. He just wasn't for me. I recommend that next time they dim the house lights further or turn them off completely. Closing your eyes enhances the experience and sounds. There was a child at the start that was talking and the director said something to the child. Then a few people in the audience made some rude comments to the child and parent. A child should be able to experience wonderful music. It may inspire them to be a famous musician some day.Written on Apr 27 2009

This was one of the most amazing concerts I have ever seen. The countertenor, Andreas Scholl was Mind-blowing, the tall man with amazing vocal range singing six Handal arias in perfect pitch!Written on Apr 27 2009

I attended the concert to hear Andreas Scholl. He did not disappoint! He has a beautiful voice and a very high level of musicianship. I loved the Handel arias especially "Va Tacito" from Giulio Cesare, "Dove Sei" from Rodelinda and "O Lord Whose Mercies Numberless" from Saul. It's amazing that Scholl can sing such difficult music with only his head voice. The chamber orchestra was also outstanding. They sounded great, and I've never seen such a youthful and good-looking group of musicians!Written on May 01 2009
