I arrived just as the first concerto gross started - not sure about the 7pm start (hence the reason for only 4 stars). RAM students are always technically excellent and passionate in their performance and tonight was no exception. Maybe it was me or is director Laurence Cummings looking more like Hester Blumenthal these days? There was an amusing talk about the different suites of the Water Music, very apt with the heavy rain outside! The highlight for me was the cantata Cecilia, volgi un sguardo, with its sparkling coloratura from top sop Jennifer France and tenor (?) Rupert Charlesworth. The latter is one to watch out for, although his Italian was rather odd. We rounded off the evening with drinks and dinner at the neighbouring Mason Arms.
