Our Mother: a review. Figure

Reviewing Our Mother at Stone Nest for The Guardian, Tim Ashley writes,

“The singing is lovely…Catherine Carby is all intense, tragic declamation…everything is done with such commitment and sincerity that you cannot help but be moved by it.”

Thank you Robert Hugill 🙏

Following a sell-out run of Figure's 'Our Mother', Fiori Musicali have sold out their Good Friday concert in N'hamptonshire. Baroque concerts in special venues work so well!

The distant light of paradise: Figure give the premiere of Our Mother, Alex Mills's expanded version of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater, at Stone Nest. It's not for purists, though I found it extraordinarily moving:-

“Although lacquered in Marian mysticism, the themes are universal: motherhood, bereavement, and compassion for others”—from Frederick Waxman’s intro to his wonderful Figure performance with Alex Mills | composer of “Our Mother” this evening—so fine that it verged on liturgy

After an intense start of the week with two competition semis, I’m soo happy to have joined this tour, getting straight back on that joyful music-making train 🥰
