I'm going to check out several of these recordings for various reasons. First, I'm a trumpet player, and though the amout of brass parts are not voluminous, they are nothing less than spectacular to play. Second, the combination of orchesta, chorus and soloists together are nearly overpowering from both a sound and emotional standpoint. Third, I was lucky enough to be part of a live recording of this work and simply can't get enough of it! The excitement level is high enough during a performance, and then add to that the element of a live recording and just about sends one over the top. I am anxious to do some comparisons of various conductors and soloists interpretations. Thanks to all who have responded for your input...it is always greatly appreciated.
