You think this is good, it may be, but listen to polophony's (SP :P) album that will bolow you away.

When David heard is orgasm in music

Polyphony has a good album, but it's not entirely for me. The music wasn't designed for a group that small, and I'm sure they had plenty of recording time to tweak everything into "perfection." I guess "to each his own." But "When David Heard" is, in fact, an unbelievably exquisite piece. :)

the concert singers are, and have always been amazing.. especially during doc's time. My choir teacher was in the concert singers from 95-00'. This is beautiful

the ole miss singers are world class..... gorgeous!

@kwbmusicman I agree that the music was not written for small groups, but listen to Cantus sing Lux TTBB. It's just nine guys, and it brings the harmonies out like CRAZY. Nowhere else have I heard such prominent overtones.

[maureenl923]

This is an INCREDIBLE recording. Better than Polyphony's, I would say, and that one is amazing. It's just so much better when Eric Whitacre conducts it himself. Stunning - great job.
