Would you please search your memory bank for the location of this

It's one of the best I've ever heard.
Jim,
It isn't a single soundfont. There are about 30 different individual
soundfonts in that rendering ... as I said, I mix & match, which is why I
wanted to be able to break up the samples in GPO -- some sound good to me,
some don't. In any case, none of the ones you're hearing in the Fields
rendering are General Midi. Each one is separately assigned through a
soundfont player. (I still use the discontinued LiveSynth Pro, but sfz+ and
VSampler will do just as well.) That also gives me effectively unlimited
instruments, as there's no 'voice packing' involved.
I can believe that. In the mid-80s my college ensemble did an Andrew
Lloyd Webber tribute, and in order to get an acceptable pipe organ
sound for "Phantom" my synth player had to stack at least 3 different
organ patches together, and maybe more. Fortunately he was a
fanatic, and kept trying until he got it right!
