Norcia Monastery Liturgy

One of our readers sent in the following links to the modern Roman liturgy as celebrated in the Norcia Monastery.

The chant is fantastic.

It would be manifestly preferable, in this writer's opinion, if the liturgy were ad orientem of course. That being said, one can at very least see the attentiveness by which the celebrant (Dom Cassian Folsom I believe) tries to adapt the spirit of ad orientem to the versus populum setting (not an easy task).
