Is this the most beautiful baritone 'aria' you never heard of?

*

The Qui Tollis from Haydn's Paukenmesse - starting about 2:27.

I only happen to know this because I sang tenor in the chorus of this Mass for a school production: one of the most enjoyable choral experiences of my life.

The baritone solo was done by Nigel Townsend, my favourite music teacher, and he sung it beautifully.
