This really was quite lovely all around, but I must say that Aaron Blake was extra exquisite; his voice has the most consistent low/medium/high range that I have yet heard or directed. Thank you.
The a cappella section is very hard for the soloists to coordinate with the chorus, and they don’t quite succeed. (The chorus is too big.) And where is the final line?!
A respite from our sojourn in the wasteland of shadow forms and sleepless nights, of weary souls in isolation, this cup of kindness calls attention to the magnificent potential to shine inherent in the human light. Thank you, BSO cellists!
