I personally believe the dynamic level at 1:35 when starting the men's entrance should be softer. I believe the dynamic level is lower there to create tension. Correct me if I am wrong, but the rest of it was spot on. . . . just that one part, and I have yet to hear a choir that does just that. I even admit when I sang it, it sounded like a part where you need to be stronger.
Nonetheless, a solid performance that I have turned into an mp3 to enjoy in my collection for years to come.

I like it but I don't like some of the decisions made
The Tempo chosen didn't capture the essence of the song.
Way too fast the tempo is 60 - 72 this is a good 90
But dynamics were great, but going slower would really capture me from 1:51 - 2:45
The dynamic mixture with the slow intensity of the song would just make me feel like All is healed.
But really the only problem with this song I don't like is the tempo.
Everything else is perfect, dynamics and articulations were hit perfectly!

I have recently performed this at Orchestra Hall in Minnesota. This piece is very dear to me, but I think that this performance is too fast.

it sounds absolutely beautiful!!! this is why i love choral music>>> and the conductor is so fluid and relaxed

@mstsj13 I agree. This is a lovely, heartfelt and dedicated performance. Everyone - choir, conductor, pianist, are so sensitive. It is very moving
they sound amazing! the men are fantastic- great vowel placement and control- bravo!
