Lord, Thou hast been our refuge from one generation to another. My favourite anthem for Remembrance, sung impeccably, as ever, by @TenebraeChoir

B.C. Sacred Music Symposium
A hopeful sign for the Latin churches in British Columbia? The video advertises a diverse and young group of people who are interested in preserving the Latin patrimony of sacred music.

Is the Solesmes interpretation still being handed on as THE tradition or do we have a competing interpretations in North America now? Where is the innovation or the attempt to do something different, other than from musicians who specialize in early music and historical reconstruction? Too bad Cappella Romana isn't interested in doing such reconstructions, specializing as they do in Byzantine and Slavic sacred music.
Different interpretations of Gregorian chant may sound different with respect to the music, but not to the range of singing, and I have not found an American group that incorporates a larger range of male voices. The English sound of Anglican sacred music sounds like it has more T, and the same is true of Catholic choirs in the UK. Is it just the lack of male voices in the lower ranges? Or is there something about the Gregorian melodies as well? I don't think so -- I can hear a wide range of male voices in recordings from Solesmes. So it is something about the interpretation and/or the melodies.
Some historical recreations of "old Roman chant," including a couple of tracks by Ensemble Organum:

Schola Cantorum of the London Oratory School in California
I'm going to ignore the Crystal Cathedral performance, though the schola dignified the place with their artistry.
