Handel ~ Messiah
The amazing singer in the group was Sherezade Panthaki, a modern day Emma Kirkby...her vocal focus tight and precise, she sang Handel’s difficult music as if it were totally easy, including the fastest Rejoice Greatly I have ever heard.

Handel ~ Acis and Galatea
Leading the cast was soprano Sherezade Panthaki as Galatea, a regular Philharmonia soloist who outdid herself in a performance of cool tonal beauty and technical precision; her aria "As when the dove," with its showy vocal leaps, was the embodiment of effortless grace.

Bach ~ Christmas Oratorio
