1989—Peter Schreier-E

A—Ky—Solemn, assertive, crisp; strings so detached, they’re almost staccato

B—Ch—Barbara Hendricks; operatic, meaningful, emotionally distant

A—Gl—Unhurried, drags a little; good, crisp voices, good dynamic contrast

B—LT—Pamela Coburn; operatic, showy, doesn’t notice orchestra having a good time

A—Gr—Forthright, energetic

B—DD—Operatic, important, unhurried, unenthusiastic

B—QT—Dancelike, but crisp dotted notes maintain at least a sense of indignation

C—Qu—Slow, smooth, soporific; tenor tends to get lost behind sopranos

A—JC—Same

A—CSS—Serious, dignified; well-punctuated voice entrances; good climactic cadence

A—Cr—Energetic, full of zing and exuberance, joyful shouts; chickens 2, but not 1 or 3

B—Et—Barbara Hendricks; operatic, meaningful, emotionally distant; dramatic volume swells; high notes a little harsh; breathing points a little too obvious

A—S—Broad, reverent; good voices, good brass

A—H—Clear, crisp voice entrances; joyful

A—B—Smooth, harmonious, gentle, unhurried; voices lovely singly and together; strange combination of legato and detached strings at B
