Many of those pieces are more energetic than my usual lisztening diet...
All the better to exercise the capabilities of an audio system. The insipid, not so much.
I reviewed that Telarc CD for Wayne Green's DIGITAL AUDIO magazine, coming up on 40 years ago.
It was the good doctor JWC who introduced me to that wonderful choral work that can stand the hairs on your arm straight up with its breathtaking dynamics. While not my usual choice, I once got tickets in row C and that literally happened to me.
His baritone voice is found in that piece along with lots of other ASO choral recordings. I would have added another one of his faves, Holst' Rig Veda but many would consider most of that too tame. He chose that for evaluating my system some twenty years ago when we compared his Palladians to my Harmonic Tech power cords. The added articulation on voice was clear.
