Estudio Coral Meridies, Santa Fße, Argentina, Dir. Virginia Bono at 11th International Chamber Choir Competition Marktoberdorf 2009 - www.modfestivals.org
Superb singing, wonderfully blended and great sensitivity for tone and interpretation. Also the text was clearly put across.
A technicalproblem: the volume of the clip is extremely low. Even turned up full, the richness of the choir's tone was difficult to hear except in louder passages. This spoiled the marvellously executed crescendo leading to the piano "...almost paradise..." In the performance this will have been a magical moment. Here, I had only an inkling of its full effect.
With my fancy shmancy headphones, it sounds sublime with the volume all the way up. The "With stillness.." part gives me goosebumps every time.
We sang this three years ago at my college and it has become one of my absolute favorite choir songs.
