East London Chorus

The Dream is a wonderful masterpiece of English music, full of magical and unforgettable moments. Under the certain and loving guidance of Alexander Chaplin it was brought to those of us present on Saturday, fresh minted, and deeply affecting in its sincerity. Both choirs and the three soloists were all at their best for this wonderful performance, while the Salomon Orchestra gave the evening a full Majesty, articulating every colour in the orchestration and providing real power when it was called for.
