Much Ado
Potted Reviews
Following are extracts from various reviews
"The usual fine cast once again give full throat to a grand
selection of songs. One of the strongest facets of Mr Taylor's musical talents
I have found is his ability to write music in the style befitting the age his
work is set, as MUCH ADO so admirably demonstrates. Paul McGann's singing
voice adds style. and panache to his solo numbers (If I Could Write A Sonnet
and The Strange Affliction Called Love) as well as a pleasing
accompaniment to the redoubtable Claire Moore In Disdain" and Then
Kill For Me. Of course, as always Claire Moore gives a breathtaking
performance with (among others) I'll Never Marry and How Can This Be,
but then that lady can do no wrong in my book. It's another impressive piece
from Bernard Taylor, reinforcing my impression that he is one of the finest
British musical talents we have." - Terry Wardrope, Words and Music.
"It proves to be yet another fine slab of
musical writing, full of invention and, as with all BJT offerings, dripping
with melody. It also succeeds in capturing the mood of the period courtesy of
a medieval English feel amongst the diverse musical influences. Paul McGann
and Simon Burke must have been delighted with the quality of the material they
were offered with the likes of I'll Never Love Again and If I Could
Write A Sonnet - both grade 'A' Taylor ballads - gentle, flowing,
melodious." - Mike Gibb, Masquerade.
