		Fortunately for Chicagoans and for listeners around the world, there was Margaret Hillis.
		Hillis, who for many years marshaled the CSO chorus into one of the finest choirs of its type in the world, was part Grand Dame and part Überkommandant and would tolerate nothing less than complete intelligibility of the text and a tone that was flawlessly tuned and carefully shaped for phrase.
		This performance is a near perfect combination of conductorial vision, excellent choral singing, and fine soloists and of course, one of the world’s finest orchestras.
