Ah but Poppagator - I reiterate what I said on that thread about memory... I defy anyone to sing the full, uncut 'Messiah' from memory!

And as for Faure's Requiem.... that's even longer!

As far as I remember, we've never asked our audiences to turn anything off - there are signs posted around our venues (usually churches) about turning mobile phones off, but photographing a classical concert is not really done. Hardly anyone would be interested in recording us performing - the repertoire we have is freely available, by artists far superior to those we use.
