I was much impressed and touched by the Schola Cantorium performance of the Weinachts Oratorium: to see these young people singing and playing with such enthusiasm and ability--and, generally, historical accuracy--was truly inspiring.

They skipped Parts 4 and 5 entirely, I'm afraid. Quite common in concert performances of the Christmas Oratorio, I'm afraid.
