Fantastic purity of tone (love the colour of the womens’ voices) and the legato flexible long range phrasing plus responsiveness to word painting and expressive counterpoint - superb! Not easy to pace this piece without chaotic rush, or pedantic dirge - bravo to the fluidity and musicianship of this ensemble - so responsive and expressive. Memorizing is key to that responsiveness to both the conductor and fellow singers. This performance really breathed life into the evocative text. Such a joy to hear this performance.
