Let all mortal flesh keep silence - Bairstow

Sir Edward Bairstow's Let all mortal flesh keep silence. This is possibly my favourite recording of any piece that I currently own, it blows me away every time I get to sit down and listen to it properly
Sung by Consortium.

I would totally disagree, any faster than this is just rushing it

Truly a fitting thing with which to glorify God.

mistake in the score: bar 5 is not g#-a but e#-f#
-
They take a little bit slow in my opinion.
-
this recording of "To the faithful" has to be one of the most beautiful cadences I've ever heard
-
@dwsolo i agree, with the few seconds of reverb they have they' wouldn't be able to go faster. you can usually tell how big a place the choir is singing in by how fast they take a piece. When we did it we had to go a bit faster because our acoustic isn't as amazing

consortium have truly wonderful altos!

@winstondhanraj me too

The second phrase "And lift itself above...." sung by SSAAT leaves me gasping in awe every time I hear it...it's so insanely beautiful.
-
Gorgeous performance. Given the acoustic there - apart from other considerations - any suggestion of making it go faster wouldn't be appropriate. It's just right to my ears :-)
-
Good version, however, it sounded a little draggy to me. I prefer Rutter's version with the Cambridge Singers. It's more intimate, the harmonies are tighter, the singers are better. There's also a little too much reverb on the recording, maybe that's what made a little too slow for my taste...

Wow. This reminds me just how much I love singing in choirs. Thank you so much for uploading this!

hey where can I buy this song?

@IcyScythe The actual recording I believe is available on iTunes or on amazon/similar under the akbum name of Let us now praise famous men. If you mean the sheet music then any good music shop will have it/be able to order it in or order it online.

@morphthing1 ok great thanks I found it on Amazon, thanks for that album name. For the sheet music, this might be silly but... I've heard versions of this song sung much faster and it sounds way worse... did Consortium use a different version of the sheet music for this since their version is slower (and better) than most?
thanks!

@IcyScythe I presume not, the conductor would have just made a different 'interpretation' of the tempo markings written.
