James Murphy, Chief Executive
Royal Philharmonic Society
"I have seen many hundreds of rehearsals over my life and not since John Poole with the BBC Singers in 1978 have I witnessed such excellence, musicianship, passion, humanity, generosity, skill, attention, musicality and love – hoping, willing and expecting them to give performances way beyond what they expected of themselves."
"He was absolutely extraordinary in the results he achieved and the rapport he had with the group, not just in the technical discipline and colour he brought to the playing and the imagination he brought to the music, but also in the electrifying way he engaged the performers."
Howard Shelley, Pianist & Conductor
