Is This Your year?

1986/87 Chamber Singers

Hilversuum (Holland) Radio Recording Session - 1987

Remember when:

We got our First Review in Chinese

The choir moved like clouds and flowed like running water, with the excellent highs and lows, pianissimos and fortissimos fitting perfectly into the big hall. Like the moon-light which covers the landscape and the beautiful wine whose fragrance goes every-where. Rich exotic flavour, melting into the vocal performance which was rich and fan-tastic - made the people’s spirits soar.

- Shenzhen Evening News, 1999.
