[rem Tim: both performances of Grand Dieux are equally magnificent in every aspect. It seems that the Freiburger Barockorchester is slightly better, a tiny bit more aggressive and attacking. And despite the beautiful and better voice of Graham, the penetrating voice of Delunsch fits very well with the music of Grand Dieux]
