Check out Michael Huebner's review for Brahms' Requiem (of which I am singing in again tonight). I'm included in his review for the Tenors. Although I don't quite agree with what all he wrote.
Here is an excerpt from his review. To view the entire review, go to http://blog.al.com/mhuebner/2008/02/alabama_symphony.html.
Some of the finer moments of the work approached greatness. Driven by Brahms' moody, heart-wrenching melodies, the combined Birmingham Concert Chorale and UAB Concert Choir delivered warmth in "Denn alles Fleisch," the tenors belting out a startling "Aber des Herrn Wort." They hit their stride toward the end of "Denn wir habe hie," blending beautifully with the ASO brasses and strings.
