I'd have tried it this way (using what I have in my mic cabinet, which is pretty meager) Royer SF-12 main, Blumlien or M/S (depending on the acoustic). Two Earthworks SR-71's on the choir, a Peluso CEMC6 (cardioid cap) on the Thierbo. MAYBE the Naiant MSH-1's for outriggers. Not world class, no, but I think it would have done the job.

Not sure... The choir was standing there in three groups of three (and actually partly consisted of the soloists...). You would also not have caught the soloists in the front very well. The main mic had to be close to the stage because of the audience. If you had placed the main mic lower, the soloists would have been at almost 90 degrees from the main mic's center axis, not so good for Blumlein, I believe. I would also personally consider the SR71 to be too noisy for classical work. I've tried the SR78 and it was.
