Massive Improvement in the Sistine Chapel Choir
In the past few years, many recordings have come out of the Sistine Chapel Choir, which has always been the choir to sing at Papal Masses. One would expect the Catholic Church's Choir to be an amazing, angelic choir, but unfortunately, the lower male voices have been too operatic at Mass, which is suppose to be a solemn liturgy.
Singing Renaissance Polyphony is very hard to do, because it requires an angelic, smooth voice, not annoying and overly operatic.
Something happened recently, where the sound has been improving a lot!! Nobody knows why!! But it surely is giving a smile to those music critics listening to the Papal Musical tradition that has been going on since the early Renaissance!!
