It is amusing to read commentary from those who watch and listen to performances of choirs and conductors willing to take the risks associated with public performance, particularly from critics who are either unwilling or incapable of stepping into the arena of scrutiny. The beauty of choral music, for those who are enlightened, are the possibilities for interpretation. Maybe composers should heed the interpretive intuition of a conductor on occasion to gain insight into his or her own music.

I disagree, early 20th style harmony like this is ruined by any vibrato. a little tremolo color is fine. Singing with a straighter tone doesn't necessarily equate to tired choir boy phoniness. Vibrato ruins more choirs than it enhances. at times this sounds like a lot of soloists. No pitch loss, some beautiful moments. I've studied this piece, the score has no firmata or ritard at 0.12 at the word "one". As a composer, if a conductor did that to my piece, I'd simply say, "I didn't write that."

halleyao7 is wrong: the vibratos may not be perfectly blended, but they are infinitely to be preferred to the dessicated sort of "singing", so-called, in which the British indulge [at least, those British singers who can't get jobs on the international market]. Americans and Canadians have been hood-winked far too long by that "tired-choir-boy" phoniness. This is real singing: anchored deeply in the body. A beautiful, though not perfect, performance.

Bravo, choir!

Not an easy song to sing and it is done beautifully. Nice job.
