Mozart - Don Giovanni
Orchestra of Classical Opera conducted by Ian Page
Cadogan Hall, London, 17 June 2016
The Philharmonia Chorus made Zerlina and Masetto's friends suitably charming, whilst being dark-voice demons at the end.

The Philharmonia Chorus made a magically hushed entry
John Allison, The Telegraph
The skilfully controlled quiet entry of the Philharmonia Chorus, very hushed singing by many voices, when it is done as well as this, always creates a special moment.
Barry Creasy, www.musicomh.com
Jurowski led a performance that was remarkably detailed, totally involving, and in the finale positively cataclysmic. The Philharmonia Chorus sang with highly charged fervour.

John Powell - A Prussian Requiem - World Première
Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by José; SerebrierRoyal Festival Hall, London, 6 March 2016
Powell was honoured here by a premiere that could surely not have been improved upon. The Philharmonia Chorus was excellent, responding to a composer who writes gratefully and knowingly for voices.
