Saint Thomas Aquinas Schola Cantorum sings Ave Maria composed by Anton Bruckner, at the Cathedral in Salamanca, Spain. The concert was the inaugural concert, in a series of concerts, to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the New Cathedral. The concert was performed in the Old Cathedral for a capacity audience.
STA Schola Cantorum is the Resident profession choir of Saint Thomas Aquinas Church, Diocese of Phoenix. Matthew S Sprinkle, director.
On sacred pieces such as this, I think its a crime to actually stick to a set tempo as this conductor did.
Take some rhythmic liberties and slow down

This is not "sehr langsam" as Bruckner seems to have wanted. The apparent lack of dynamics is due to the recording. Otherwise very good, considering the small group.
