Absolutely stunning and exhausting.  I think we all experienced the highs and lows of the Mahler concert.  Wondering if we were ever going to tie all the parts together with the other choirs, and then marvelling at the sound when they did.

David was very patient with us and I think produced a fantastic performance.  The reviewers seemed to agree:

To have a full venue was also a major boost to our morale and the view from the stage as the hall filled was stunning.
