Tonight we heard the Croydon Philharmonic Choir sing Haydn's "Creation". It started off as a typical concert but slowly developed some character as the soloists began to sing. I was impressed with the technique of the soprano although I felt that her communication suffered as a result. There was a particular segment that really interested me...the bit about Adam and Eve. The conductor decided to be true to oratorio style and have sort of a "scene" develop between the soprano and baritone soloist. I found that it was more distracting than serving the music. It seemed to come from nowhere. This was a choral society that impressed me more than the other choral society we listened to. I was engaged in this concert and impressed that although the woman's section was more than twice the size of the men's section there was a pretty decent balance.
