Title: sopranos are too loud
Review: If you only could hear another recording of the Spem where you can actually hear the tenors pierce through the choir (see Paul Nevel's "Utopia Triumphan" recording), you would immediately find the Tallis recording to be unacceptable. And the Tallis Scholars' sopranos have almost always been LOUD and pinched especially in the high registers (in this recording and in many of their other recordings) ... they definitely do not sound angelic. If all you like to listen to are sopranos with the other voices as background noise then by all means continue to listen to this recording.
