Chiltern Camerata with the Chiltern Consort at the Wycombe Arts FestivalDick Morbey
Image credit: Dick MorbeyThis splendid programme rightly attracted a fair sized audience to this fine church on this beautiful evening. Starting with Zadok the Priest, the best known of the four coronation anthems by Handel, the choir, although numbering under 20 voices, produced an initial impact which was to set the tone for the rest of the concert. Their attack, featuring both tonal and dynamic precision, was thrilling and gave the orchestra a wonderful base upon which to add their own contribution. In this, the excellent trumpet playing of Malcolm Knapp and Alison Davidson was worthy of note.
