The night, though, truly belonged to the chorus. The brassy, driving ensembles are what make this work one of the most popular of the 20th century. The 100-plus voices of the choir, under the direction of Steven Edwards, sang with strength, precision and brightness, whether in the gentle pastoral airs or the powerful crescendos that burst from the stage.
