Something New
HE 4YA Studio Singers, under the direction of John Matheson, gave listeners a composition not, I believe, heard here before. It was a setting by Brent‘Smith of Christina Rossetti’s Paradise Songs, and had a delicate beauty appropriate to the individual charm of the poems. John Matheson, a fiery young newcomer to Dunedin’s music-making circles, has the aptitude for making his enthusiasms felt. His flair, for choral conducting has resulted in performances infused with great vitality, and his singers perform with a warmth and an interest in their music which preclude any carping criticism of minor faults of performance.
