B—Ky—Formal, restrained, a little lackluster
A—Ch—Bonney; heartfelt, meaningful
B—Gl—Majestic, uplifting, still a little flat; lacks punch
A—LT—Auger; Vocalise; lovely intonation, but no personality; orchestra smooth, unassertive; nobody having fun here
A—Gr—Smooth, integrated, churchy, lacks energy
A—DD—Lovely duet; no battle; sing as one voice from the start
A—QT—Hymnlike, smooth; no pain, no stagger, but not a cakewalk; inexplicably slows tempo for “Suscipe”; finally shows a little indignation toward end
A—Qu—Smooth, integrated voices; tenor holds his own; self-satisfied rather than fun
A—JC—Same
A—CSS—Finally some choral energy, but still restrained, genteel, even in climactic cadence
A—Cr—Light, brisk; good balance of singers and orchestra; chickens come through all 3 times, as with Corboz and Krivine
A—Et—Bonney; sweetly operatic, meaningful; imperceptible breathing; Auger, playing second fiddle here, didn’t share her secrets from the Bernstein?
B—S—Broad, stately, smooth, restrained, lackluster; brass stay mostly at home
A—H—Reined in, smooth
A—B—Good integration of voices; individual lines shine as well, though they sound a little bored; legato strings at B
