Some wonderful audience reviews of last week's . We're tweeting audience reviews on our Twitter site and will collect these all onto this page soon. However, you only have 140 characters on Twitter and this one deserves quoting in full as it made the Artistic Director cry:

"Oh, this was SO good. To my shame, I had not heard Red Priest, and THOUGHT I knew The Four Seasons - this was an outstanding and fascinating performance, and I loved their interpretation (special mention for the wandering violinist) - outstanding virtuosity for the recorder player, wouldn't have missed this.

"Kelly's dances to the lovely poems by Carola really worked well, there were some dramatic and electric moments here. Really liked the 'British Weather'.

"I was going to say that I found Kelly's solo numbers harder to 'get' (which I do, I have less experience of dance and I begin to understand those who find classical music hard because it has no words) until it dawned on me that I was watching something really special - no music, no 'story', and much of the time no sound. We live in such a noisy world and this was really different.

"Still not convinced by your bathing of some of the audience in blue light, but the change in the second half with the lower levels of light and the highlighting of the reader, were more creative and very effective contrasts.

"This evening flew by, there was not a single wasted moment. So glad i came - thank you."
