What the critics say
|
“Crisply professional, intensely musical and warmly expressive”
Jane Darcy, The Reviews Hub on My Beloved Man at Milton Court 
|
|
"There are few places I’d rather be at Christmastime than crooning carols in the Wooden O with Toksvig, her merry eight-strong cast and singers from the Fourth Choir."
The Guardian on Christmas at the (Snow) Globe at Shakespeare's Globe 
|
|
"The Fourth Choir were faultless in their skill and dedication, especially the enchanting sopranos, and it was clear that much passion, dedication and love had gone into this project, with each composition meticulously selected."
The Upcoming on Stonewall Warriors at Heaven on the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots |
|
“In a moving big finale, the Fourth Choir floods through the venue singing the Pet Shop Boys’ Liberation, each holding a candle. And everything seems that little bit brighter."
Time Out on After Edward at Shakespeare's Globe

"The closing track, "If We Only Had Love," finds Jungr and Safir alone in the company of the twenty-one member Fourth Choir who provide lush accompaniment for her rendition of Brel's epic hymn to love. A stunning way to conclude this stunning album."
