It is a lovely listen Jared....you should enjoy it so let me know when you eventually get to hear it.
do you have any other versions Fergus... the Jacobs, for instance?
It is the only version that I have at the moment Jared but I am interested in the Jacobs in the future as an alternative version.

me to... I don't want to run before I can walk, but I've heard good things about it.
the other thing I'm really keen on getting around to buying is Hickox's boxset of Haydn Masses on Chandos...

I've given that one quite some airing recently Fergus... I think it's a beautifully constructed programme of songs, besides being Betty at her finest...

I tend not to get as much reaction to plainchant or pure vocal polyphony as I do to say, Mozart or Mendelssohn, which I guess is to be expected... but it created a tremendous sound which resonates around my desk... I'm a convert, at any rate!! ;-)

I thought that Schwarzkopf was as divine as ever and the highlights version was enough to prompt me to invest in a copy of the full opera!
