Hopefully this means nothing. We will know in less than three weeks.
Well, I think you can draw a conclusion to be honest Patrick But that is what been a fan of this group means and Tom probably has lots of other things to be getting on with now.
I see that QVC is also selling the first Christmas album, presumably to cash in on the Carol of the Bells music they use in their Christmas promo ads.
If I’ve got owt to say I says it, and if I’ve got owt to ask I asks it.

I also noticed TDL missing from the last couple of video releases. As you say fdL, we will know more in a few weeks.

According to the Libera Historical Timeline (Pt. 8b), Libera performed "What a Wonderful World" on QVC. I'm surprised and a little dissapointed with the song choice: I was looking forward to some Christmas music. Oh well.
While some Christmas music may have been nice, QVC was promoting 'Libera in America' and may have asked Libera to perform something from that recording. It may also be the case that the network was not yet moving into more intensive Christmas marketing at that point. These are just my thoughts on the subject; I have no inside information.

True-- I'd forgotten the "Libera in America" bit. I just assumed Christmas because of the snowflakes and whatnot.
Did Isaac's voice crack at 1:26-1:27, or did he just have a bit of a cough in his throat?

I heard it, but to me it sounded more like a little bit of gunk/irritation on his vocal cords more than the start of his voice changing. I definitely could be wrong, though.
Also, the video of the performance posted earlier in the thread is a bit better quality, I think, for anyone listening to it at this point.

Definitely an extraneous sound at about 1.00 on the QVC twitter released video (without intro). Occurs as Isaac sings "world" for the second time - just as the orchestra builds up before the chorus joins in. To me, it sounds more like microphone static than a voice generated sound.

Ok, I hear it now. I was listening at the wrong part of the song (using Jimmy's videos). I agree with TullyBascombe that this sounds like he held the note a while. Isaac has admitted in interviews that he gets extremely nervous during his solos so this barely noticeable warble may be that - definitely not a voice breaking kind of sound. The only other option is that the volume was turned up, or some similar change, on the audio mix and this included the microphone fixed on Isaac.
The QVC promotion (only UK promotion in fact) of Libera's Angels Sing in America album and their appearance helped to put the album back inside the Top 40 UK Classical Album Charts matching it's highest ever position at No.11 (can't think what else propelled it there)...
The Christmas album also re-enters at No.38, although it did reach the lofty heights of No 7 a few weeks ago. It's highest position, and indeed highest for any Libera album in the Official UK Classical Charts was No.2 last year. One day that UK No.1 will come.
But that is what been a fan of this group means and Tom probably has lots of other things to be getting on with now.
