When I was in college, people teased me for liking ALW, and then the men’s chorus and the boys’ choir said they were going to do this “Requiem.” And then a few weeks later I got an apology from someone because they dropped this from the schedule because it was too hard. The men’s chorus, specifically, couldn’t get it. And I have waited a long, long time to hear anything other than Placido, Sarah, and Paul. Can we just accept now that this is a magnificent composition, and more people need to do it? PLEASE?? I am kind of falling in love with this tenor...
A very strong start but he falters in Pie Jesu then looks like he is having to (cleverly) adapt downward for the remainder of the performance. It’s a big ask for anyone so no issues here. All are fantastic but the adult performers are near flawless in a very challenging piece.

Muy bello Réquiem, del que solo conocía Pie Jesu. A pesar de su extensísima obra, Webber para mi un descubrimiento.
The boy soprano outsings the other soloists.
Why does he have to be better. I'll bet he didn't think so. Both the other two soloists were exemplary.
