Palestrina: Sicut Cervus from Easter Vigil, Sydney

Bruckner: Christus Factus Est from the Good Friday Solemn Liturgy, Sydney

Easter Vigil from St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney

The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ According to John - The Good Friday Solemn Liturgy from St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney

Great singing all round - from the Archbishop through to the people. But of course, special credit to the excellent Cathedral Choir. And we are hearing the "proper" tone for the end of the Gospel more and more.

Bach's Johannes Passion

This is one of the finest recordings of Bach's masterpiece - the late Maestro Bruggen conducts the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century and the Netherlands Chamber Choir. No other recording of the first movement, Herr, unser Herrscher, makes the hair stand on end quite like this one.

Mass of the Last Supper from St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney

View the Mass, noting that the picture is not available until the Gospel, but the sound is there from the beginning, with a minor interruption in the Gloria from Missa Pange lingua by Josquin des Prez. Beautiful settings sung supremely well - details can be downloaded here.

The audio starts at the end of a processional hymn, followed by the Introit. I suspect the microphones are confined to the sanctuary, given that the voices, still in procession, are at first distant, though the continuo is distinct. This is Roman Catholic ceremonial at, or close to, its peak.

Wow - Live streaming of the Holy Week Services from St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney

Which can then be played back on demand. This is a truly magnificent development. I hope to have more to say about this in the fullness of time. For now, see the Chrism Mass from earlier today, Maundy Thursday 2015.
