But what's with that very staid and rather TOO "laid-back" audience?!? Instead of jumping to their feet in wild enthusiasm, the conductor had to sort of alert then that they could finally applaud (if they wanted to!!). Meantime, the chorus just sang its gorgeous heart out!!<br /><br />And WHAT was that magnificent music that accompanied the Cathedral presentation? I was hoping to see some acknowledgment at the end, but it never appeared....jdbresumes@aol.comnoreply@blogger.com
