Kind of a shame that the ensemble didn't express a fraction of the amount of dynamic range that Todd did with his voice in the original. They seem to be kind of static at the same volume the whole time, which really takes away from the development of the song.

kim h Sure he arranged the parts just fine, but he's not in control of their dynamics. That's all in the expression of the musician. Bach may have written a great piece of music, but when performed without dynamic range, in a wooden, robotic manner, it loses its impact. The original version has a huge dynamic range, where the loudness of Todd's singing as well as the volume changes that he mixed it at, is an essential part of the movement and the emotion. For the most obvious example, just take the part starting at around 5:50. In the original version, when he goes into that climax, it's HUGE. The backing vocals that he did would soar into the sky without actually changing much of the tonal content. It's all in the dynamics. Just go and compare. A good ensemble or orchestra can interpret this well, because their instruments have amazing potential for dynamic range as well. It's what makes them sound alive. These guys just didn't have it. They just became a static background sound, and even made the material sound repetitive by their uninspired phrasing.
