Tribute to Paul Goodchild
Tributes
For any of us Philharmonia choristers, Christmas means Messiah, and the highlight of the oratorio, for as long as most of us can remember, has been Paul Goodchild’s obbligato to The Trumpet Shall Sound. His cut-glass articulation and elegant dynamic restraint were always a delight, and we waited, like impatient children at Christmas, to hear what fresh ornamentation he had up his sleeve this year.
