Always performed with far too small an orchestra and choir. NOT as composed! Poor... sorry. It's supposed to be GRAND.

@rivenoak No its not too slow. If you know anything about German composers and their music...that is the right pace. Usually English play things too quickly but in this particular performance they got it right, and full marks to them
