I hope I can record a rerun on EWTN (forgot to set my TV to record it). I was at the Mass and got a different perspective. We didn’t get Fr. Z.’s commentary. I’ll bet you had a better sound of the choir and schola. We could hear them, but the sound was somewhat faint. The music was beautiful, but it is hard to go wrong with Palestrina.

When EWTN gets hold of a magnificent spectacle like THAT, they are certain to rerun it. I hope.

Being there is better, even though you don't get the tight camera shots or the miked sound. (I noticed in the credits that an FSSP priest was in charge of the cameras. Way to do it right, gentlemen!)

And of course it is not possible to go wrong with Palestrina. The man was a genius!

Agreed.

My wife, who was unable to go due to heath, said that she got the best seat in the house.

OTOH, I was absolutely thrilled to be there with my daughter. It was absolutely glorious to be a part of the throng.

(And the blognic at the Dubliner was pretty good too!)
