Many thanks. I'm a Polish resident and a Polish taxpayer, but other than that I'm British. But I also have a theory (which might make a good video actually - hey I think you've given me Huliganov's monthly rant for September) that learning any language actually makes you a part of that nation, in a sense.

They will be happy to read that. Richard Berkeley does a great job over their accents - he also gives voice training to actors.

I'm not sure that was completely true in any century. Three of the founders of Anglican choral tradition (Byrd, Tallis and Tomkins) were Catholic. Heinrich Schuetz studied with the Gabrielis in Venice. Bach wrote many of his Masses to be used in both Catholic and Lutheran services. I could go on and on, but you get the idea.

I don't know how widely English is spoken in Poland, but their pronunciation is perfect. I could understand every word. This is a very sensitive and beautiful performance.
