‘The Sixteen are brilliant at lifting us up to another world.’ The Telegraph‘But even for the audience member who just likes to sit and day-dream, to let the astonishing sound of a first-rate choir charm the ear, there can be no complaints. These performances are well-nigh flawless. But the subtlety, the range, the juxtapositions of timbre are mesmerising.’ Bachtrack ***** The Deer’s Cry, Cambridge
Whether performing a simple medieval hymn or expressing the complex musical and emotional language of a contemporary choral composition, The Sixteen does so with qualities common to all great ensembles. Tonal warmth, rhythmic precision and immaculate intonation are clearly essential to the mix. But it is the courage and intensity with which The Sixteen makes music that speak above all to so many people.
