That this exists in the universe is a miracle! Beauty to the end of days.
“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” 1 John 5:11
Monteverdi’s Vespers makes the morning sun to seem to shine brighter as it rises over the horizon. What a soul rejuvenating peice, Monteverdi nailed it! Soli Deo Gloria!
This is what heaven must sound like.
absolument magnifique les musiciens musiciennes les choeurs adultes et enfants la mise en image tout est sublime et les vèpres de monteverdi en sortent magnifiés chapeau / merci du post
I attended this exquisite performance 5 years ago and again watched it in its entirety. It is magnificent, moving, and totally captivating from beginning to end. My deep felt thanks so much to all who performed!
J'ai écouté de nombreuses versions. Celle-ci est ma préférée. Simple, recueillie, dynamique, enjouée. C'est une merveille. C'est la seule qui me transporte aux cieux et que je peux écouter en boucle sans arrêt pendant des heures. Et pourtant j'aime toutes les musique du grégorien à Boulez. Elle n'est malheureusement pas disponible en CD, à défaut on prendra Gardiner
I have this recording & it is the best one out there. Absolutely exhilerating. Great voices.
This is beautiful and of the highest level.
What a wonderful performance I've stumbled across. Many congratulations to you all. Charles Daniels on fire!
Charles Daniels is amazing!
Claudio monteverdi was born in cremona home of amati ,stadivari
He was a contemporary of william Shakespeare.
Monteverdi established opera as a new art form with his brilliant operas.he was a pioneer in the establishment of the orchestra with strings woodwind and brass.
"Oh, pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper who love thee." Amen.
Wonderful!! It´s so sublime!!
I have to say that I've struggled somewhat to fully appreciate this piece in the past, but that this performance absolutely 'cracks it open' for me. Not only is it musically excellent, but I think having both the latin and english together on the screen means you can more holistically connect to flow of the piece, which can seem a bit disjointed otherwise. Many thanks for posting it!
I couldn't agree more!
Woww Awesome, never expected this from Nova Scotia or even Canada! This rendition equals to any of the best indeed.. Truly spiritually sensitive performance. The training for this performance was simply unimaginable... Thank you.
Why did you "not expect it from Nova Scotia or even Canada"?
This outstanding performance brought back memories of singing in the New England Conservatory Chorus. We did this piece with the Boston Symphony under Michael Tilson Thomas in 1974. I really like the intimacy of this performance but it was certainly magnificent to sing this with over a hundred voices
Absolutely sublime. Praise and thank you to the blessed Virgin Mary!
Praise be to Christ
I have several versions of this masterpiece on CD. This is one of the best I’ve heard, you brought me to tears several times. Exquisitely performed, just perfect! Bravo 👏👏👏👏
What an excellent job! Outstanding output with honest resources. Elegant, correct, unpretentious but powerful.
I know a lot of performances of this all time masterpiece, especially in Europe. This is one of the best: soloists, choir, orchestra and a perfect conductor without show effects some conductors prefer.
Hát ez nagyon szép volt.
What a wonderful performance! This is a new favorite of mine!
Spectaculaire! Quel beau concert. I didn't know there was such a beautiful choir and ensemble at King's College, Nova Scotia. Wonderful.
Mir geht es ebenso. Ich freue mich auch über dieses wundervolle Ensemble. Danke auch für den mitlaufenden lateinischen und englischen Text.
Fabulous!
Magnífico!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Fcxcd 😢c 😅
A beautiful, soul touching performance!
i took part in a performance of this last night! i was only part of the last 30 minutes but omg it was amazingggg ❤
Magnificent singers and players!
this piece is truly timeless.................thanks for introducing me to Monteverdi ♫
Danke für diese wunderbare Aufführung der Marienvesper. Sie haben mir eine große Freude gemacht. Ich liebe diese Musik sehr. Besonders freue ich mich über die Begeisterung der Musiker und die großartigen Stimmen von Chor und Solisten.
Astoundingly beautiful and excellently executed.
Beautiful performance, the sound is exquisite. Wish I'd been at the live recording.
Un'opera grandiosa; il suo ascolto mi ha procurato un'intensa suggestione. Grazie Hagop .
That's such a phenomenal start to a piece of music.. love this era of music...
Truly outstanding!!!! I'm glad to be their 100th like.. This definitely deserves more recognition......
Brought tears to my eyes
Beautiful, stunning, magnificent.
I've been looking fr a version that came in a box set and would have been released in the 1970s. I can't find it and it's so hard to find another one that comes close to it. This one did, with bells on. Stunning, controlled, not too florid, brilliantly paced. And those voices. Thank you. Made a great Christmas present.
This is the most outstanding performance of this work I’ve ever heard-in person, on CD, or online (CZcams, etc.). Thank you for undertaking this sublime work with your marvelously talented singers and instrumentalists. The soloists were like a wish-come-true, and their tasteful and limited use of vibrato was stunningly breathtaking. Thank you many times over!!!
I couldn’t agree more. This ranks up there with the best versions of this sublime work ever recorded.
There is a spirit of holy reflection that permeated this version. Although many performances have the style, they rarely reflect any reverence for God There are great advantages to be gained in recording in an archtectural structure that provided a proper organ, and the natural resonance for the voices and instruments, particularly when the echo effect was used. One sees it reached into thehearts of the audience as well. Good show everyone!
Very beautifully done, long, but I enjoyed every minute, 😊Sheila.
Likewise. I've heard many versions; this ranks up there with the very best.
This was played today almost in it's entirety on Sirius XM. Absolutely beautiful!
Brilliant!
This version of Monteverdi's masterpiece
has Latin/English subtitles to add
to your pleasure.
After 7 decades of listening to great classical music
this remains in my top ten
Just beautiful. What more can I say?
What a treasure. Thank you!
I have read that there are other choirs!
None like King’s College of course. Great to have this on You Tube. Loved it. ❤️🙏🏻
These young boys' voices at 1 hr. are so beautiful. Very sorry to throw some cold water on this, but it's the 21st century. Surely we can have young boys AND GIRLS join sing these parts?
They are the boys from Capella Regalis Men and boys choir which at the time was the only boys choir which sang church music in Halifax(there were 0 Girls choirs that sang church music at the time). BUT now the newly formed Capella Regalis Girls choir is in full swing! I believe the director of the concert also used the boys choir because that is the way the piece is intended to be performed. But thank you for your kind words after all i am one of the boys in the choir lol this was my first concert. Go check out the Capella Regalis CZcams page where they are releasing a concert recording of Faurés Requiem (Released on April 1st for limited time) with the Boys and Girls choirs, and with the all saints cathedral choir! A wonderful concert I was glad to be apart of! Hope you enjoy it! Happy Easter!
Que belleza ! Excelso ! 😮
very good thank you!
I thought that I would hate this. I was wrong. So very good.
Well done Canada
Epic!
Here from ksi on capital?
Nice
Yeh I ain’t hearing the similarities , anyone else?
At the very beginning (0:14) you hear a very steady line, kinda like someone in conversation and the choirs response at 0:24. The classical dude in the ksi video I believe is referring to Rick Ross as 0:14 and the energy release at the end as 0:24.
Never mind he literally explains it at the end of the video did not know
@Govava Quite a stretch lol, but I guess music is subjective
@Govava Wow ok child
Very dynamic
Very good,very!
Sounds fantastic! Decided I loved it after 45 seconds. Decided I was very interested after 10.
Glad you enjoyed it Rosalind
Nice
Wonderful performance. But - really - are you perfoming this masterpiece with an elettric keyboard???
@Alexander Hendry very interesting comment
That is a legitimate question. Halifax does need a real positiv organ. We are seeking a donor, these instruments start at $100,000, and require roughly $1000 of maintenance per year.
Wendy Carlos' THE WELL-TEMPERED SYNTHESIZER has entered the chat.
Il paradiso è qui
I would like to buy this on CD, but can't find it anywhere.
Who's here from Wendy Carlos' THE WELL-TEMPERED SYNTHESIZER? :)
Helmuth Riling would say - OK!
1:23:06
When you've been listening to your recording years ago and you seek it out years later and find its performed too fast..😮 o well
Superb, but I'd love to hear a techno version of this.
Why ? Make your own techno music on your side.
The hottest take on monteverdi, possibly ever.
Check out Wendy Carlos' THE WELL-TEMPERED SYNTHESIZER - it's the last track.
the sync is wrong;
so just listen, forget the look.
you will rarely hear greater music.
True. Not that it matters much. But the ethereal reverb of the trebles in ‘Santa Maria Ora Pro Nobis’ could never be achieved in the small, crowded, and cluttered sanctuary shown in the footage. Never.
QUITE GOOD CANADA. BUT JOHN ELIOT GARDINER'S VERSIONS SOUND SUCCINCT AND MAJESTIC
His 1990 version is outstanding, but his other versions are a mixed bag . Over the top, even bombastic. Especially the BBC Proms ones. He peaked with the 1990 one.
@@tomswift3261 Performing in St Marks helps a lot, especially with the separation of choirs. However, I agree, never has been, nor ever will be bettered.
I see how rick ross did this.
@DonaldTrumpVEVO He showed me the wonders of rick ross so thats good I guess. I think dale just figured out his wife was cheating on him with john redcorn so the whole neighborhood has been on "dale watch" good lord someone bless arlen.
The impartial purchase problematically happen because staircase mostly flap forenenst a fallacious penalty. insidious, boring wind
White people and their culture are awesome.
