Hi, if you look at image 3640175 he's the Cello soloist on track 8.

I can't see any mention of Marc-Francoux in the artwork; can we check if this artist is involved here?

Organists and accompanists count as soloists - thanks for adding them.

@Gill Sans
No problem:)
No, there are no actual soloists listed, just the 30 members of the choir en mass, there are two Organists however, Jonathan Vaughan and John Robinson,which i have added as Soloist's, (if, indeed that is the correct field).
That's very useful to know, i shall add more in the future.
cheers!

Sorry, I somehow missed your reply until now.
Thanks for adding more performers; are any soloists listed in the booklet? I'm not aware of a limit but you can add a lot more than the thirteen on this; here's one I did earlier, with over 100 performers! The Treasury Of English Church Music, 1100-1965

All composers now added.
"I think you must have requested someone to "Please edit this record's Performer list" but that is too non-specific."
?No, i did not make any such request, i just wanted to check the actual physical limit to the amount of performers you can add to any one field, as there were quite a few composers on this one. I wanted to know a number for future reference when adding multiple performers,i.e. "20 composers maximum", surely, there must be a upper limit to the amount?, or, do you have an unlimited space for each performer?
cheers

ALL the composers, orchestras, conductors and 'star' artists please! I personally like to see all choir and consort members too, if they are credited, but there are limits to how long you want to spend on it ;-)

I think you must have requested someone to "Please edit this record's Performer list" but that is too non-specific. If any details need changing please submit a 'correction' and the mods will (eventually) get round to it. Meanwhile you can add performers yourself.

What is the preffered limit/maximum amount of composers that can be added to the "Add Extra Performers" field, out of interest please?

Peter Dijkstra here conducts the Bavarian Radio Choir in acapella performances of Schnittke and Pärt, two deeply religious composers. The booklet explains that both were born in states that did not tolerate religious worship, but Schnittke came from Jewish and Russian Orthodox families, and both Schnittke and Pärt eventually converted to Russian Orthodoxy.

The choice of the Pärt at first seems somewhat out of place, initially being rather jolly and secular until it settles into a more profound style. Schnittke's Stimmen Der Natur is vocalese for the women only.

The entire Concerto For Choir can be found on YouTube:
