    This is such a powerful piece of choir music on its own (Caroline Shaw is amazing!) and for quite a while now the rendition by the Chapel Choir of Pembroke College led by the terrific Anna Lapwood (the level of refinement she achieves with these young college boys and girls is phenomenal) was my preferred recording. And then this version showed up today ... WOW, that's another level of powerful! The strings add a whole new layer of depth and warmth and these vocalists are simply stunning. Kudos for the sound quality of the recording that tops it all off. I'm blown away!
