Absolutely beautiful. I had no idea Mathis did anything like this. I'm always amazed at how singers, the ones without classical training, can get the accent of a non-native language just right. Like Mathis gets the Latin here just perfect.

 

What do you think of Haydn's Nelson Mass as this week is the 200th anniversary of Waterloo?
