Hereford Grand Music Meeting Review
Yesterday’s Hereford concert opened with Spohr’s Last Judgment overture praised for its artistry. Handel’s Dettingen Te Deum was played too quickly. Phillips and Harper delivered strong bass and duet leads. Mathews preached an impressive sermon before Attwood's Coronation Anthem and Boyce’s Here shall soft charity were well sung by Vaughan and Knyvett as clergy and townspeople attended.

Jomelli opened with a spirited overture, Spohr’s duetto slowed, and Madame Stockhausen with Mr Phillips impressed though some faults lingered. Vaughan sang well, Maria Hawes showed promise, Braham delighted with Mad Tom, Lindley impressed, Festa’s madrigal fell flat, Beethoven Pastorale shone, Boisragon showed potential, Stockhausen and Phillips drew praise, and the concert closed with Mozart Sestet to general satisfaction.
