. . . when the body of it deals only with the solo motet, "Exsultate, jubilate"?
I haven't heard either Battle or Auger in Exsultate, but both of these singers have been fine in other repertoire I've heard them in (especially Auger). I have a video with Ruth Ziesak and Muti: Ziesak is wonderful, but the SQ is not that great AFAIR (haven't listened to it in a while).

Chris, thanks for the post.
I had the Bernstein DG CD of Mass in front of me, which also has Exsultate in it, while posting. Arleen Auger is the Soprano.
My comparisons are not many and done thru my humble system. I wonder of the Sopranos fare different on Vivid Audio based system. I dont know if I can say this but just dont like Bartoli's version. She goes up like a staircase rather than a smooth ramp and violently overwhelming.
Regards
Bill
. . . I feel that she aspirates her runs somewhat more noticeably than most other singers do. Perhaps that's what you're hearing as the staircase, rather than the smooth ramp? In any case, I agree that this is not an attractive feature of her singing.
Why worry about his post heading, Chris? Both are examples of great sacred vocal music by Mozart, so that's close enough, I should think.
You're right of course.
We should just post any old thing in the heading and expect the rest of us to figure it out.
Correct?

Of course an accurate subject line is a good idea, Travis, I was just kidding around a bit with Chris. The OP just made a mistake, something we all do.
Best wishes,
Roy
Sorry I was snarky.

Still, I was just kind of. . . wonderin'. . .
(And if I really wanted to be paranoid, I'd think it was some kind of false flag operation!)
