I love everything about this performance, save for the suddenly quick tempo in the final part of the song

Schöne Musik, schöne Stimmen. Leider bedarf es einer besseren Tonwiedergabe: Speziell für diese Musik war die Lautstärke zu niedrig. Ich wünsche Ihnen allen viel Glück bei der Behebung des Problems.

I didn't like this much. The conductor shows grace and specificity but I was thrown off by the choice of marcato (which isn't indicated in the score) for " 'bashed at the gaze". To convey a bashful character, I expected a more sensitive treatment of that phrase--especially because that is exactly what this choir did for most of the song until that point.

Yep- that choral director didn't get it right.
