First: How should I know about your computerproblems? If you had explained that

WITH your reply than things could have been settled at once.Often comments are withdrawn.But what about "and I really don't care"???,that doesn't sound very courteous,or am I wrong?You have given us the possibility to comment,which indicates that you DO care! I am puzzled.

[boterwisk]

@jcriedijk I give you the possibility to comment because i care about your questions about the video, what i don't care is your claims because of removing the comments, are you looking for the names of the sopranos? or are you trying to find someone to fight with?, in that case look around your house.

[jcriedijk]

thank you for your reply, but reply to what? You have removed my comment (and question), so this is a bit odd.!! Apparently you did not like my comment about Gwyneth Jones, but if we can only comment what you like, than it is betterf to remove the possibility for comments. The singing of Gwyneth Jones was by many commented as horrible and out of tune, facts are facts. Arleen Auger was good as ever, a grand soprano.

@jcriedijk I didn't remove your comment, and i really don't care about it, when i was posting the reply to your question about what singers were in the concert my internet connection blow up and for accident i reply to your comment three times, and trying to remove two of the answers i remove your comment by accident, don't mad about it, is just a comment.

Gwyneth Jones didn't ruin the song, but my computer freezing at 3:57 sure did :P

@AJHyoton I agree that one slip doesn't necessarily ruin an entire performance, especially with so distinguished an ensembe. It's just very unfortunate though that the cracked notes are in one of the a) most sublime moments in the work, and b) one of the most exposed. Imagine how poor Gwyneth Jones, a great artist, felt. 'Thanks' to youtube, the record remains, unfortunately. And yes, I should say the critics you cite DO love this music, and DEEPLY, else they wouldn't be so shocked.

2:15... Horrible horrible mistake... Destroyed the piece for me.

And such an occasion. The fattest hippie on pirate radio would've put on a tux!

Magnificent. Haitink's lover never saw him come so good..

Twee kleine kinderen zijn aan het welles niettes spelen. Stop daar toch mee. Zijn jullie ego's misschien te groot. Kijk eens bij je binnen. Je treft een boel rommel aan. Tijd om op te ruimen. Het is een hele opluchting als je dit kunt opbrengen.

Één van de sopranen doet inderdaad zeer aan je oren. Ze schreeuwd op een bepaald moment .Jammer. Wat ik niet begrijp is dat de dirigent hier genoegen mee neemt.

wonderful music thanks friendship raymond

It is a hard note. Not only is it high, but naturally out of tune with the rest of the chorus. But they redeem themselves shortly after. Incredible performance! Oh and is that Thomas Hampson?
