- I can't judge in terms of the expectations of high-performance religious or artistic practice. The voice is very dry, which seems to me to be a disadvantage in anyone's terms. The diction is ok. The sound description page could have information on what verses 1–15 say. A complete English translation would be good, if it can be pulled from the bible in a snap (maybe it's slightly different, though). Tony (talk) 01:28, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

- Oppose. Very interesting and it's great to hear this, but the recording is distorted thanks to the peak clipping that occurs throughout (especially notable at about 0:02) and I don't feel I can support it as an FS. In addition, at 0:38 there is a nasty distortion and some odd background noise a few seconds before. I tried fixing the peak clipping in Sound Forge but it really doesn't sort out the problem properly. Performance is very good as far as I can tell. A shame. Is there any possibility of Nahum re-doing this? Ben (Major Bloodnok) (talk) 20:25, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- His Userpage says this "I am now on a Long-term Wiki vacation for an undefinite period." So i guess no. --Guerillero | My Talk 01:49, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
