Ultimately, this disc is an unfortunate combination of angelic, mellifluous strings and a dark, cadaverous choral sound that is remarkably difficult to listen to. There is little competition for recordings of this piece, though, and that the solo passages are as extensive as they are is as good a reason as any to favour this recording over any that has gone before, despite its choral shortcomings.
