Overall good ...

"This is a fabulous (yes, fabulous) piece of music, wonderfully composed with simple yet touching lyrics. The songs say so much with so little and really speak to me as a gay man. Many facets of life as a gay man are part of this work. As for the performance, the SFGMC is overall stunning with its sheer number of voices, but doesn't always follow the music as it's written. Considering that the music was commissioned by this chorus, I would consider that a flaw in technique. All the solos in this performance are dead on. I am especially fond of the duet in "A very very very very very good boy." The falsetto is powerful yet steady. A very good performance of an enchanting piece of music."
