The piece, IMHO is the greatest expression of human reverence for the Almighty ever penned. It is *the* sublime work of art for all mankind. As for the Shaw recording, it is typical of his insistance on rhythmic perfection at all costs and I find it somewhat sterile. The Gardiner recording and the Christophers recording are far superior as far as I am concerned. Kevin Sutton
