    Sorry my bad writtening in English language. I'm portuguese. I follow your works. Very beautiful. So beautiful like a painting. So, i can ear the sound of your music and feel it in mynd, in many ways. This music is a bad storm, with winds, with soffering, with problems that seems to be hard to solve, to transpose. Than I can ear the silence of the storm and found a way to stop that storm with courage, resilience and strong. Congratulations. Thank you.

    I began singing in choirs 60 years ago. I’ve never heard such choral music. Sight. Sound. Extraordinary!!

    I can't even begin to tell you how beautiful this was?! The opening made me giggle for some reason, and it tells a whole story as it seems like the storm gets closer and closer as things get more intense. The rain, the build onto sounding extra echoed as if its still just a little in the distance, bit of a calm, then that sudden STOMP of it being right on top of you but still given a reprieve and rebuild. What an adventure that was, thank you for this! What an amazing job!

    This is the most fun, versatile, incredible choir in the world. You are amazing! Oh, to be a good 48 yrs younger and to have the privilege of singing in such an amazing choir under such a legendary director. I've sung in some good choirs under a couple awesome directors, but nothing like this. Thank you for sharing your wonderful choir, talent and gifts with the world.

    Thank you for popularizing the music of the Latvian choir! ❤ Glad to hear! Although our traditions and Latvian songs are difficult to understand. Especially when translating. Paldies!😊

    Яка робота, яка титанічна робота і який неперевершений результат🙏❤️ Слухаю вас кожен раз затамувавши подих, щоб не пропустити жодної ноти, жодного виразу натхненного обличчя, жодного помаху диригента. Низький уклін вам за те, що зберігаєте гармонію в цьому світі і показуєте цьому світу, що вона, гармонія, можлива. Дякую, дякую, дякую❤️🇺🇦

    Maybe the most valuable thing about this choir is that they show how diversity comes to unity. Greeting from snowy Riga/Latvia.

    I need to replay this at night!
    I do have to say that I really don't like the new video style: unsteady, rapid camera changes. The old style lingered on the singers, letting us see them sing. It's now too music video style (and I grew up on MTV).
