The Damnation of Faust at the Barbican featuring Tiffin Boys’ and Girls’ Choirs and the Tiffin Children’s Chorus

The Damnation of Faust at the Barbican, Simon Rattle’s second outing with the LSO, was given a 5 star review in The Times—”As the harps cast their golden glow and a duo of violins soared in sweet song, choirs of children slipped into the hall’s aisles to add their celestial spirit voices to the heavenly music. When Rattle turned round to conduct the Tiffin Children’s Chorus and Tiffin Boys’ and Girls’ choirs, it felt like a gesture of welcome to everyone in the hall.” You can listen to the whole performance or scroll to 2:32:31. Additionally, Simon Rattle, James Day and boys from Tiffin Choir were interviewed here (scroll to 7:56 to see the boys).
