Two more videos from the Netherlands 1988 concert by St Paul's.

Re: Right Now

Not too long until the Guildford concert and my London trip, and now that I think of it, I still need to figure out where I'll be staying. :lol: At the moment I only have a place to stay for three nights. Norwegian (the airline) has also been a pain with their special offers (to and from London for ...

Re: Libera in Taiwan April 2013

Thank you for the review, John! And thanks Yorkie for running FDL's review through Google Translate.

Exciting to hear that there is now a solo in Sanctus. Was it a completely new arrangement?

Re: Korea Concerts 2013

Interesting, disappointing to see Mysterium go but I'm thrilled that they keeped Dies Irae as the first number. It completely blew me away in November. I don't think I personally mind the similarity between the autumn and spring set lists, I'm just very curious to see what sort of changes are to be ...

Re: Libera in Taiwan April 2013

That was my attempt at humour - the English as a second language thing again :D . Nah, this was just your sense of humour. :mrgreen: Should have used a single exclamation mark, you know. :wink: Clearly you have a lot of expertise in this area I have absolutely none. :lol: I think that's one thing t...

Re: Libera in Taiwan April 2013

Because you said it was heavily over-produced and that the voices had been altered by the use of heavy electronic post recording editing and because I'm an argumentative SOB who could cause a fight in an empty room??? I meant why we kept talking about all the other things we did when I was only rea...

Re: Libera in Taiwan April 2013

Perhaps it would be appropriate to move this discussion to another topic? OK Lumi, what do you think has been done to the vocals on this track (and any other Libera recording)? Auto-tuning? The sort of thing that is done to any "pop" recording. The question how much . For instance, I perso...

Re: Libera in Taiwan April 2013

Well, yes, it's a vague term, though one that applies here very well I think. But of course rather than referring to the use of using digital instruments and special effects I was specifically talking about what has been one to the vocals. Combined with everything else, I just personally find it to ...

Overproduced as in a lot of digital enhancement on the vocals.

Re: Libera in Taiwan April 2013

Awesome! Can't wait for the Taiwan concerts just so that we get to see if any new songs are to be expected in Guildford. :D The new video, interesting. How should I put this, I hope the singing is representative of the future album because it's awesome as always... But I hope the mixing is not, sinc...

Re: UK Concert Guildford May 11 2013

Got mine today. :) I have to say, it's really nice to get them so early this time. Now I'm wondering about where I'll stay – I can crash a friend's place for three nights but I'm staying in London for five. I thought I would take a train back from Guildford after the concert, but it's gonna be quite...

Re: Other Choirs, Singers, Musicians that you like

Just a heads up, on Tuesday a lunchtime concert of French Baroque music by the New College choir will be broadcasted live on BBC3 at 1 PM UTC. The programme includes six pieces – I'm not familiar with most of it, but Couperin's Lauda Sion Salvatorem is a beautiful treble duet also featured on their ...

Re: The Best Treble Choir in London

I get the picture now. Lol, yes, I would imagine the words would hardly be audible with the reverb. :mrgreen: I'm guessing the trebles might sound a little clearer than the bass and tenors though. Coincidentally, we'd be in London around the same period. :D The acoustics from the full choir will pr...

Re: The Best Treble Choir in London

How would you define "eccentric" acoustics at St Paul's? :D I'm tempted by stall seats, but as you mentioned, I am not familiar with the order of service in a traditional church, and it gets intimidating. And I certainly agree with you on people walking in and out and talking - sure spoil...
