Sorry to outright disagree (heck, I'm not either) but I found this
recording to be screechy *and* lifeless.  I can't stand boy choir
renditions of this kind of music to begin with, but upon repeated
listening, this is one of the most phoned in performances I have heard
in years.  As for the music, it's sublime, no matter who the heck really
wrote it.
