    I'm of mixed feelings on this. I appreciate the talent and the feeling of the music.

    But...

    Link to video

    I remember listening to a lecture about "Messiah." The absolute mastery of Handel using the score (the actual tones) to convey the emotion of the lyrics ...

    "Comfort ye..."

    Descending notes - conveying ... comfort.

    "Rough places plain..."

    Small intervals, denoting how there is smoothness.

    "Sayeth your God!"

    Huge leaps denoting power, and majesty.

    Somehow, this misses all those subleties.

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
