Thanks for the upload - very fine performance but the benchmark for me remains the Ande Previn/LSO recording from around 1970.

I sang this song with my choir February 2010, sang soprano 1. I loved it. It's phenomenal, thank you for uploading!

The painting looks a lot like Rembrandt, but the text colors are inverted. Is this from a sketch or a version that I haven't seen?
