I downloaded and listened to the FLAC 24/192 stereo version using USB into my Oppo BDP-105. Overall nice sound quality--not cavernous like some Chandos. It is a live performance from late 2015. Lots of bass, including a lot of organ, but not too much bass, like BIS ;) . Chorus sounds good. I like the soloists except for the tenor. Recording not clear enough to make out all of the words in the chorus (but could be my system). At first the orchestra sounds small, but that might just be an intentional part of the interpretation--build up from the overture. There is much dynamic contrast. As far as the "extras", it's not Beecham/Goossens, but there is a lot of "extras" evident. Kind of a classy, polite version of Beecham/Goossens. Cymbals, snare drum, xylophone, tamborine, bass drum, tam-tam, triangle, etc. I think I heard trombones, too. Sounds like the Reese's of music: my HIP fell into a batch of Beecham.
It moves right along. My attention didn't wander. Good stereo image and depth.
What I'd love is for someone who's a little showy (The Dude?) to come out with a modern recording of the above-mentioned Goossens arrangement. That would be awesome.
