Clearly this entire piece is bad-ass, but which movement is the best?

PS: the correct answer is Movement VI

I'd have to listen when I get home - haven't heard this in ages - but I do recall it's gorgeous throughout.

It certainly is. Most of the choristers I know go for movement IV, most of the sopranos I know go for movement V, I go for movement VI because it's the more interesting, shorter baritone solo and it has the great headbanging section right before the fugue.

I'm no soprano, but I love mvmnt V most of all, maybe. :P It's just so achingly beautiful.

Have to revisit to vote. I have Klemperer and Gardiner on my ipod. Think i'll play Gardiner.
