This is stated to be 'at original pitch' (it's in F) and the information has been amended to specify a tenor soloist for this 'original pitch'. However, all the performances I have heard (except one) and all the performances I have taken part in use a counter-tenor soloist and SAATB choir, singing in A flat. | |||

OK, counter-tenors capable of singing the solo are few these days and an F edition is perhaps more practical, and indeed welcome if it allows more performances of this wonderful piece, but 'at original pitch' ??? | |||
I think the information cover page should be at least neutral on what the original pitch was. | |||
