A gorgeous work and masterful performance by all involved. This is my favorite recording of Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. I easily prefer it to Wit's, which is good, but not outstanding.

Okay, I'll bite. :) What is #7 (a reworking or transcription, would be my guess) and is there evidence to suggest there was more to it than six?
