Australian Chamber Choir
"A Phenomenal Nachtmusik in the Minster ... the sound produced by this Ensemble was quite simply phenomenal: flawless intonation, superb uniformity, perfect tonal balance, astounding dynamic range and sleek voice-leading. Guido Krawinkel, General-Anzeiger Bonn, July 23, 2011 more
Conductor Douglas Lawrence has created an ensemble singing with utmost precision and utmost sensitivity, possessing a perfectly balanced choir sound. Schwäbische Zeitung, July 11, 2011 more
... it was a great pleasure to have this wonderful choir here in Thomaskirche ... The concert and service were magnificent. A few choirs touch your heart: this was one such choir. Gudrun Hartmann, Office for Church Music, St Thomas Church, Leipzig, July 21, 2011
SACRED AND SPINE-CHILLING ... Allegri's Misere ... was fluent and blessed with an excellent soprano who executed spine-chilling top Cs with comfortable assurance... Lawrence ... finished the formal program with Bach's rollicking Motet, Der Geist Hilft: ... Bach vocal interpretation of high quality, with a bouncy energy and unwavering unanimity of pitch. Clive O'Connell, The Age, Melbourne, August 24, 2010 more
