Critique


The Nottingham Post said "under his direction the score showed a fine sense of pace and impressive climaxes" as he led the Nottingham Bach Choir & Orchestra in 2009 [6] and earlier that year it had suggested that Hale should be recognized as a musician "capable of outstanding feats of stamina" for directing the Bach Society's St John Passion and the Harmonic's Brahms' German Requiem in consecutive weeks.[7]
His 2009 organ recital at Liverpool was described as an "exacting champion of subtlety – the difference that but one stop can make.".[8] More recently his direction of Bach's Christmas Oratorio (1734) with the Nottingham Bach Choir was described as being a "thoughtful, spirited performance, truly fine and memorable."[9]


He is highly regarded as a choral trainer and conductor. He was recently praised for leading the Nottingham Bach Choir of Elgar's the Kingdom to a performance "which resulted in a confident and emotive reading of the score."[10]
