The B Minor Mass at the Festival Hall. What’s not to like? Well, very little. I’ve written at length about this largely glorious piece – the Credo still grates, but is more than compensated for by everything else. I’d’ve preferred a front row seat (I was in row 3 of the choir stalls), and my enthusiasm got the better of me on a couple of occasions but, this aside, I thoroughly enjoyed this concert.
