Eric Whitacre Singers : Reviews

VOCAL ENSEMBLE

“It’s rare to find a choir with such needlepoint accuracy and vibrating richness of tone, and under Whitacre’s alert and sensitive direction this one made some of the most rapturously beautiful sounds I’ve heard in this year’s Proms season.”

Ivan Hewett, The Telegraph

“Making his Proms debut with the Eric Whitacre Singers (a dream-team of London’s freelancers) and the BBC Singers Whitacre framed his own works within other staples of the American choral tradition….Vintage Whitacre – diaphanous cluster chords and foaming soundscapes.”

Alexander Coughlan, The Arts Desk

“Whitacre introduced each work to whoops of encouragement. It is always exhilarating to hear a good choir but in the end it was difficult to match the enthusiasm of some audience members: I saw grown men weep.”

Laura Battle, The Financial Times
