Remarkably, Clint manages it (QOTN top F) with ease. Personally though I prefer his voice in Cantata 51 mode.

Two or three years ago we were amazed at the Tölzer boy's performance, but that was a strain and not always very beautiful.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

And folks don't think we have miracles any more! The link worked for me: I've heard only the Allegri so far - and socks were duly blown off - but I shall certainly find time for the Mass setting too. Sound level was fine. Many thanks.Originally posted by Keraulophone View Post
The Shrimper is still doing its stuff in the Carrick Roads, crewed by my cousins and their kids. Me, I've hung up my sea-boots, but a week in Roseland in May is on the cards.Comment

Popping in to Evensong at Truro by boat isn't as romantic as it sounds. First one negotiates a haphazardly buoyed. narrow, shallow, muddy channel...assuming that CE coincides with High Water. One ties up outside Tescos, avoiding submerged shopping trolleys where possible. After CE, the tide will have receded meaning a 24-hour stay (though admittedly only a twelve hour stay if one is happy to retrace the said narrow, shallow, muddy channel in the dark.) Now, had the city of Truro done the decent thing and invested in a proper lock, thus penning up a vast plan d'eau, making the place hugely picturesque and coincidentally attracting wealthy yachtsmen (such as decantor
) to boost the local economy, then nautical evensong might have been a possibility.
All very relevant to Allegri from St John's.Last edited by ardcarp; 22-02-13, 08:05.Comment

Haven't we been here before, ardcarp? I seem to recall you wanted to excavate a marina in that god-forsaken reach just below Truro - where it both dries and smells (I wonder if we noticed the same shopping trolleys). Well, if ever they invite me to become a Dragon, I shall refuse to subscribe my £100 unless the project is backed by £millions of public funds - or by Ardcarp Capital Enterprises, of course.Originally posted by ardcarp View PostPopping in to Evensong at Truro by boat isn't as romantic as it sounds.

The connection with St John's is that one can't get a decent-sized boat up to the Bridge of Sighs either.Last edited by decantor; 23-02-13, 00:36.Comment

Alas, repeating oneself is a known affliction of ancient mariners.Haven't we been here before, ardcarp? I seem to recall you wanted to excavate a marina in that god-forsaken reach just below Truro
