Yes, both these CDs are both excellent and under-represented both in
recording (perhaps because these two are so good) and in performance (which
is an excellent test of any chorus' ability).  Is it just me, or have
choral performances associated with symphony orchestras limited to the
usual Beethoven Ninth or Mahler's Second?
