My choir is performing this on 8th April I have spent a few evenings practising it with my Iphone and a bluetooth speaker set. It is an absolutely wonderful work.
We are singing it in English, but the recording I am using is in German, a performance conducted by John Eliot Gardner. I karaoke my way through it with, mostly, not too much trouble. However, one or two of the choruses are taken at such a pace that I struggle to keep up.
