Live Performance Review: Polish Radio Choir (Edinburgh International Festival (E.I.F.) 2014), Monday 18.08.2014 17:45, Greyfriars Kirk (Unreserved Seating), Edinburgh
This was a very enjoyable performance with flawless togetherness between the singers. The coral pieces being done reminded me of the sort of music we used to do in the church choir when I was a child. There was a comforting familiarity in the work.
Although it was very impressive and there is nothing wrong with that, I don't feel it was perfect. This is not due to any particular flaw or deficit. There was never any error which gave a jolt, though also there was no je nais se quoi. In very simple terms; a perfectly capable perfunctory choir, very nice to listen to, though by no means in the same bracket as the 'Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir'.
Rating: 08/10.
