WOW!!! I'm the composer of this piece—incredible performance, André and Stellenbosch!!! I had shivers watching it. You captured the sense of dread and destruction perfectly with this powerful interpretation. I can't wait to see it in person—BRAVO!!!!

I am intrigued by this choir and its conductor. They always seem to make something that has a certain spell and I keep on listening. It is obvious to me that the conductor is the key to all these magic perfomances, so many congrats to him. He also knows how to get the best out of the people, which must be quite challenging for both parties. Hope to be able to see and listen to this choir once in vivo!

Y'all are not human beings because Whaaat??? How??? Y'all got me crying my eyes out in my bed, in the middle of night, once again!!! This is too good. I really hope to see y'all live one day.

Greetings from Germany to one of the best choirs of the world! Hamburg Church named Michel or Elbphilharmonie would be a fantastic place for a concert. Think about far away from Netherlands via flight)

Good job. André is a great conductor. Many choristers come and go, and he’s still there. I wish them all well in all their endeavors! Blessings!
