Thanks for your youtube videos
As appreciation for today's wonderful live performance of Bach's Saint John Passion.
The Academy of Ancient Music Sunday Screenings bring joy to people around the world. They are also made using top quality sound and film recordings to create a live performance feeling, with the addition of being able to hear each instrument and see the faces of the performers. It is marvellous.
The Eccles Semele was one of the highlights of 2019. Thank you so much and thank you for streaming the video.
We have had the opportunity to listen/watch two of your concerts during this period of lockdown and have enjoyed them enormously. Thank you so much for the opportunity. We would not have managed any of your concerts anyway as we live in the far South West UK. we are grateful. Thank you
May 10th, 2020.I am listening to Semele by Eccles, an excellent performance that brightens the gloom of this Sunday afternoon of Covid-19 lockdown.
I have just received a refund from the Barbican for tickets to a couple of AAM concerts, the musicians probably need it more than I do.
