Isa 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

[@SarumChoirmaster]

Why are organist always appointed choirmasters? Why not appoint a true choral expert? And most organist and so called choral experts these day, don't know how to correctly train boys and girls how to sing correctly; lowered relaxed jaw, throat and Adam's apple.

[@stevehays5029]

I saw a Simon Preston video performance of the choir. I was struck by the tense facial expressions of the choirboys. Bad vocal technique.

[@iwasglad122]

The conductor here was the late, great Sir Stephen Cleobury, organist, yes, but also acknowledged as one of the world's greatest choral directors. May he rest in peace.
