I like the sound. I like the tempo also. Moves a little more than the BYU version. Kinda like the Polyphony recording. Like I said, nice sound, excluding the loud, crazy vibrato-using first soprano... You can't use much vibrato with Whitacre. Everything is much too tight to have any pitch issues due to vibrato.
Overall, very nice sound! Wish I could have heard it live.
This is good, though I have to say there's one soprano sticking out and she's dragging the rest of the choir down in terms of pitch. The choir's doing a good job of bringing the pitch back though. So good job all around!!
hummm .. almost nothing wrong with the voices. but the tempo, maestro? I think it ought to be much, much more slow...

How could no one say anything about that rogue Sop? Aside from that, this was exquisite.

lol the soprano sounds like one of the random women who sing the star spangled banner before the beggining of a baseball game!!

Kill the soprano, kill the soprano. (or) just straighten out the tone.

Totally agree with mightyquincy. It sounds great with the exception of the tone and horrible intonation of that single soprano.

This is great.
I wish the second cluster chord was recorded, included the major climax. :(
