THIS!!! It's like professionalism overloads! This is a big problem even for adult singers. When our quartet (4 people with full SATB harmony parts) sang last year, the balance between the voices was of our major concern and we could only do that through intense practice. It is very difficult (not to mention for young boys) to recognize if you are being too loud on stage and even more difficult to adjust your voice immediately to the volume you want, that's why reading your review makes me adore Libera more.gingerthedog1 wrote: ↑<span title="Tue Aug 01, 2017 3:03 am">6 years ago</span> There were slight technical issues during this concert, mostly sound mixing issues. Many times, the soloist’s mic would be turned all the way on before his part. Yet the boys were very much aware, and compensated by blending their voices almost immediately. The result was that it barely affected the concert at all. In fact, many probably didn’t even notice. There was also a popping microphone that would periodically go off, but being the professionals the boys are, the singing went on unperturbed.
One more thing I like about the boys - appropriate manners and being humble all the time.gingerthedog1 wrote: ↑<span title="Tue Aug 01, 2017 3:03 am">6 years ago</span> I also told Alex G that Wayfaring Stranger was my favorite song. This was not strictly true, but it was ONE of my favorites! In response, he said “Thank you, that really means a lot.” I took this as a genuine expression of gratitude on his part, which confirmed all the more that these boys are grounded and level.
Good to hear that Alex G did well on both solos too, he definitely has what it takes!
Even more surprised to hear that Rocco's voice sounded different in Angele Dei & Amazing Grace, that was also a tough thing to do even for adults indeed. He must have been maturing a lot before I even noticed.
The part you wrote about them being a little disorder on stage and also Merlin's & Taghd's minor mistakes doesn't get me off the mood (not even just a little bit), I just feel great since they are still boys after all (and also the professionalism thing could totally make up for it).
