‘Harry Jacques, with his persuasive tenor, gave a convincing portrayal of the ageing General Sir Philip Wingrave, while paradoxically conveying a petulance in his cries of ‘How dare you’ that made him no more than a boy who could never walk away from a fight.’

The most impressive soloist was arguably the tenor Harry Jacques, who, after just one solo, “Praise be my Lord for our Sister the Moon”, was paired with a superb mezzo-soprano, Katherine Gregory, before the quartet “Praised be . . . the Death of the Body, from whom no man escapeth”.
