King's College Cambridge 2010 #6 In dulci jubilo

[capekurtz]

Sorry it was not sung in the original German which is how I first heard In Dulci Jubilo.

Aah reminds me of Christmas Eve at my parents house where we light the Christmas tree lights and sit in the living room and its all lovely and Christmasy! :)

It's not so much that the basses disappear -- they are a very warm, solid presence under the clearer trebles. But it's true that they seem to lose a bit of definition. I don't think I'd like to hear them trained with more edge to try and compensate for the diffusing effect of the space, though -- the tone they have is manly and a good match for the purity of the boys.

Brilliant. Best cathedral choir in the country

@grahart1 It's not a cathedral choir. It's a chapel choir - King's College 's chapel is not a cathedral. But yes, definitely a stunning performance

@MissLilithe it's as big as one!

@kaa1710 - I think this is possibly a known issue with the King's acoustic, which favours upper voices. The basses are singing as loud as everyone else, but they disappear...

i'd prefer more bass performance.

Magnificent performance! Merry Crhistmas
