Birmingham...

Evensong from Birmingham Cathedral on Jan 25^th, BBC radio 3, is just another example of poor cathedral choir singing. This only shows how excellent Truro Cathedral Choir is. I don't think anyone held a pistol to the bishop's head in order to have the choir sing an evensong service for the BBC radio 3, so with all due respect (with emphasis on due): Practice, and practice correctly. It is shameful to have all these half-hearted choirs and excellent organists singing and playing together. Birmingham Cathedral is unfortunatety not unique in this respect.
