Eric Whitacre’s Cloudburst being performed in what looks to be some type of televised Chinese choral competition. As with all Whitacre pieces, it benefits from listening to the whole thing build.

My favorite part of this, though, is Whitacre’s reaction:

If you would have told me about this video 19 years ago (when I was writing Cloudburst in a dorm room in Las Vegas) I would have thought you were from Mars.
