Hello Romy,
My recording also features the Tanglewood Festival Chorus but the material is not the same (Requiem, songs). It was my mistake: I was confusing it with my version of Pelleas et Melisande that I can't have access to at the moment...

It was recommended by a (singer and choir director) friend of mine. A moving performance.
But my copy was recorded in 1994 and 1995 and produced in 1997... Romy, is it possible that your data is incorrect?

Hello Romy,
I am not accustomed to music files but you try using a media organizer like [url=http://www.iview-multimedia.com/]iview[/url] and add keywords like composer, maestro, orchestra, venue, date, radio station, etc.

Romy,
Now I'm very curious.

In Portugal we have a saying that goes:
