oh my god... this got to be my favourite movement in the great Mass.... T_T the fugue theme is just so beautiful

PashaPetrovich - maybe you should check your sound settings as well as the codec filters you use. I get perfect sound on this with brilliant diction. I hear none of the "Etsch or tsch,," in the words... it is plainly and beautifully "Et in terra pax...". Have a look at your settings... it may help. I would like to have you enjoy this superb contrapuntal chorus.

@PashaPetrovich Maybe you should listen to it before you drink vodka.  I do not hear any problems with the diction at all. How does your choir sing compared with this? Or do you/can you even sing? Listen to it at 3:35; the "et in terra pax" sounds perfectly enunciated to me. I hear no sch sounds. Are you called Petrovich because your father was a rock? Most choirs, even some very good ones, do not even attempt this Mass. I am sorry Bach was not Russian (although I do love Rachmaninov!)

[PashaPetrovich]

Etsch in tschaera pax? What's this? If you cannot sing on latin, don't sing.
