Paul Just back from an extraordinary performance of the Mid-Winter Songs at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Grant Gershon, the singers, and the acoustics of WDCH delivered a really clear, more angular sound than the Salamunovich recording. I was sitting in the wrong place for the best balance between piano and chorus, but, wow.

Jason St Claire Hello fellow Morten Lauridsen friends. Just an FYI for those in the Omaha area (and those who want to travel) the UNO Chamber Choir will be performing all four of the Nocturnes at their concert this Sunday at Dundee Pres. Church, 5312 Underwood Ave., in Omaha at 3:00 PM. Some may know that the fourth Nocturne, "Voici l...e Soir," was a late addition to the Nocturnes, and is not avaiable on any current recording. Admission is a free will offering at the door, come if you can!

Andrea Bride If anyone knows of an SF Bay Area performance of Lauridsen's O Magnum Mysterium, I'd love to hear about it.
