  • Mahler Symphony No. 8

    Perth, Australia
    Sep 2024 - Sep 2024

    • The tsunami of song subsided to a single soprano, Anna-Louise Cole, then tenor Paul O’Neill, with soprano Samantha Clarke and mezzos Ashlyn Tymms and Deborah Humble drifting in, underpinned by baritone David Greco and backed by choirs in stalls above the stage, drawing in bass Derek Welton.

    • Throughout, the all-Australian vocal soloists – sopranos Anna-Louise Cole, Samantha Clarke and Sara Macliver, mezzos Ashlyn Tymms and Deborah Humble, tenor Paul O’Neill, baritone David Greco and bass Derek Welton – masterfully balanced solo, ensemble and tutti passages with authority and aplomb.
