Also known as "Ave Maria" which is sort of not the same as "so many years ago".
Ok, this is somewhat embarrassing since I already uploaded this take before. I decided this needed remastering after listening again to it. This was recorded just with two omni mics with a somewhat subdued frequency response. I reduced the reverb, reduced the dynamic range with manual automation to a range where one can play back on devices with limited volume level, brightened the frequency response. The video was severely lacking in light and had white balance on the shady side. I brought this into more cheery regions (of course at the cost of noisiness that incidentally heavily increased the size of the uploaded video). Turns out that when I sped up an awkward pause where I was searching for buttons, I messed up all the automation I had already entered, so I had to redo all of the bass hand capture work from the middle and the phaseout and stuff.
I feel that this version still reflects the registration changes and loud and quiet moments pretty well without actually being all that loud and quiet.
In case you want to compare with the previous version, it is at this link. It is in a manner "more faithful" but that does not really buy me anything: a recording is a letdown against the original anyway so there is no point in leaving the handbrakes on, so to say, instead of making the best of the material. I'll admit that speeding up the awkward pause was cheating, but I got punished for it by a lot of work.
