About "Thalben-Ball: Psalm 50 "Deus deorum"" by St Paul's Cathedral Choir
Thalben-Ball summons the 'God of gods' with a thunderous organ introduction, then the choir enters like a calm after lightning. The psalm's courtroom drama—'Our God shall come'—is rendered with British restraint, making the judgment feel all the more inevitable. A quiet, terrifying majesty.
