    Amazing voices, amasing technique! I'm happy to listen you again. First time it was in Arezzo in 1992, I was a member of children choir Vesna. Now I'm 30 years old, but I remember your singing since this time.

    Man, they did great. That competition is crazy competitive, especially since they were going against the Vesna Children's choir which also won the grand prix before. Vesna is probably the toughest of the challengers cuz they are a children's choir, angelic voices and all. Put together Vesna and Madz and you'll probably get as close to perfection as is possible.

    In "Salimm su, tanto chi'i' vidi, De le cose belle che porta 'I" - that small opening to paradise was sung so delicately and effectively that when "Ciel" is first introduced (E) - the perfect third - heaven, sounded the way it should be.
    It's so Callas, I love it!

    I've been listening to this version since they've won the Grand Prix in 2007. It's been 10 years since then, I'm still listening to their angelic voices. A two-full-choir required piece with over 20 singers but they've sound like legions of them!

    I'm just awed to the right side group (mr. Borela's group) of having only two sopranos and the voices were still floating heavenly and evidently.

    I can't make out a word they're singing BUT the music is BEAUTIFUL!!! And I'm most impressed that they're singing sitting down.

    Sang this at the 2009 ACDA Convention... It is one of my all time favorite choral pieces.
    Beautiful job, choir.

    I sang this song in my all state choir in Vermont. It remains to be the most inspirational and meaningful song I have ever sang. Whenever I sing it or hear it preformed I get chills. This is a very good performance of it.

    My wise 88-year old filipino music teacher of violin, piano, guitar, mandolin and a vocal coach (music teacher from a well known university when she was younger) once said that of all the musical instruments, the human voice is the most beautiful.
