Two nights ago, live concert here in Strasbourg (University Chamber Orchestra and Choir) :
César Franck : Cantabile (organ solo); Pièce héroïque (organ solo). Didn't like those two pieces at all, simply because I don't like the sound of the organ (had too much of that in my youth ...), apologies to Sorrano and Chris (both keen organists).
Edvard Grieg : Holberg Suite, Op. 40. Whenever I hear this work I get it confused with the Warlock number. Good fun, a work well suited to University Orchestra level.
C.P.E. Bach : Concerto for Flute in B-flat, Wq 167. No special comments here, except that the soloist from the Conservatoire hadn't entirely mastered a couple of difficult passages.
Gioacchino Rossini : Extract from Stabat Mater, "Eja, mater, fons amoris". They wheeled in a pro baritone soloist for this, obviously not a good day for him, sorry to say.
Charles Gounod : Messe N° 6 en sol aux cathédrales. This was better performed, as the choir had been well rehearsed, and again they had contracted 4 pro soloists (a different baritone, this time) who gave more confidence to the choir when backing them up in the tutti passages.

That version has certanly its merits, but most of the time I prefer the more edgy string quartet version for which the pieces originally were conceived.
Have you got a preference, sorrano?
