It's a low A at 1:30 :) Unbelievable!

Oh, how dearly I would love to know the composer of this! And catch that low note (a B flat, I believe) sneaking in at 1:30! So lovely and so passionate, on a text that cannot be made too lovely or passionate. And that bell! Superb!

Oh oui, renversant. Toujours cette façon particulière de chanter ces chants, unique à ce répertoire. Fascinant.
