I agreed with everything, until I heard him singing Lloyd-Webber's appalling Pie Jesu, which I do not accept is authentic sacred music. The lad has a beautiful voice, but I believe that Lloyd-Webber's Requiem cannot touch the wonders of Faure or the joys of the Missa De Angelis. Wherever I have attended Mass, we have always managed to have a mix of the best of the old and new. I wish it was so for everybody.
