Caccini ( Vavilov ) Ave Maria by Slava Kagan-Paley

[quetzal199]

Best interpretation and my favorite Ave Maria by far.

[JezusSlave]

JESUS CHRIST IS A MEDIATOR BETWEEN US AND GOD THE FATHER AND ST MARY IS MEDIATOR BETWEEN US AND HER SON-CHRIST CONFIRMED BY VISIONARIES FOR 2000 YEARS.

GOD WANTS FAMILY NOT ROBOTS AND ALLOWS ST MARY AND ALL SAINTS AND ANGELS to HELP US!

SHE IS OUR MOTHER IN CHRIST AND BLESSED BY ALL GENERATIONS

"And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." Rev. 12:1-17

[Tenorliebe]

mmhh, sorry, not my taste! But Top for the 18th. century. Handel would be might be in heaven now!

[ahamayoisac]

@Tenorliebe in the 18th century they were castrato voices, not the same as alto.

[Nonie46]

@ahamayoisac Please note that a castrato sings soprano. Alto is the highest range of a MALE voice.

[ahamayoisac]

@Nonie46 Negative. Castrato is a male voice for soprano, mezzo and contralto female equivalent. My father was an opera conductor, this was explained to me when i was 7.

素晴らしいです！スラヴァさんのアヴェマリアが一番好きです！！­

[cotetessier]

La perfection dans la voix et l'interprétation. Une voix divine!

[cotetessier]

La perfection dans la voix et l'interprétation mais pas dans la netteté de la vidéo.

[EtherealTristesse]

OH... This totally brought tears to my eyes... Wow, I am speechless.

[limbo0031]

Noice!

[TheOriester]

Tienen razón aquellos que dicen que la monumental aria compuesta por el ruso Vladímir Vavilov cerca de 1970, Ave María, tiene cierta semejanza con All the things you are. ¿Habrá quien haya estudiado si existe una relación entre ambas composiciones? En todo caso ambas son maravillosas y es una pena que se haya atribuido, erróneamente, el Ave María de Vavilov al compositor baroco Giulio Caccini.

[JimAndMike4Ever]

Exceptional control, especially the nuances at 2:05 - a truly beautiful voice and a gift.

[eastbaysf]

Restores my faith in men.. I loved Charlotte Churches version too.. Amazing to think how old the song is..

[TheGoldring2002]

Best of Best~~~

Gld Bless You.

[croon4u]

I 'feel' that Caccini would have loved this version...and then I wonder what Farinelli might have done 100 years or so after Caccini's death. What a beautiful piece, executed beautifully.

[bi3131991]

makes me thing about 'cinema paradiso' movie. don't know why

[kharsondor]

Beautiful.Slava you are - GREAT.Fantastic voice.

[hamanezu57]

こんなに切なく、悲しげで美しいアベマリアを聴いたのは初めてで­す。

[Ilfoivleip]

И голос великолепный и сам красив...

[Timmosolov]

Ужасная пиликалка играет. Всё портит.

[yardleyjanvier]

A divine voice from heaven. When I hear this rendition of Kagan-Paley, I want to believe in God again.

[cheeu00]

i love his man ver of Ave Maria

[kokusai1214]

すごい

[aokwl]

einfach perfekt. Man kann das Lied in einer Endlos-Schleife hören. Es wird einfach nie langweilig.....

[RKellyKingofRandB]

WOW WOW WOW!!!

[luksbro]

I've realized that there isn't an orchestre, but synthetizer. Am I correct? What a pity, because an orchestre will be better for this excelent countertenor

[betsydog0120]

@luksbro

there is a version of Ave Maria Caccini with live orchestra recorded on DVD "Slava".

:0)

[luksbro]

Percebi que a "orquestra" parece mais ser um sintetizador... Pena, poderia dar mais brilho ao bom desempenho do contratenor

[kharsondor]

Amazing.Great song by great teonor.thank you Slava......from Mongolia.

[gharusa]

Extremely beautuful and moving voice. Tremendous breathing control lovely quality of voice. TREMONDOUS CONTROL.

[gharusa]

[fernandaayala]

Maravilhoso, Divino!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ltpstan]

listen to the song main theme nile by kitaro,i think slava did sang on this song.

[AGirlNamedArthurPRO]

I love counter-tenors and contraltos. :D

His voice is lovely, this is my favourite male rendition of Ave Maria. He has such control over his voice, and his vibrato is splendid.

Please, is it possible to buy this song as MP3 or CD audio?I can't find by Amazon or Barnes and Nobles. Thank you

[alifante]

Meravigliosa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tinalpha1]

Really the best version...he is singing with the angels...

[TheMrSionne]

da cantante dico che è affascinante ascoltare la voce di un controtenore così delicato nell'esprimere l'arte del canto.BRAVO!!!

[Sutra1lx]

I love his adaptation of Caccini. He does a wonderful job.

[Ammon7777]

Please let me know when you are coming to the United States, particularly the an Francisco Bay Area.

[09pacou]

une voix... à vous couper le souffle! Certainement une des meilleures version de cet Ave Maria (qu'il soit de Caccini ou pas! )

[claudiogiuseppe]

Giulio Cannini never wrote an Ave Maria! It' s a fake piece invented in the xix century!

[preposterous3637]

I usually laugh at male classical singers but this one's voice was too beautiful...

[gharusa]

Beuatiful sound and incredible breathing technique

[gharusa]

Counter tenor ! Lovely sound

[pocochanhope]

My best favorite It is wonderful　！

[earywitjaksono]

superb

[braviv]

LUUUUUUUV  SLAVA!

[muzzikalny]

BRAVO!

[unitim]

Believe it or not, Caccini has nothing to do with this song.

[nielsjoklein]

@unitim You mean in this version he hasn't, or Caccini did not write an Ave Maria as such?

[betsydog0120]

Slava Kagan-Paley has recorded 15 CD's and now he is working on a new album for Christmas 2010 with Greg Walsh-producer of Pink Floyd and Tina Turner.

[Elbahsaw]

@betsydog0120

I'm trying to find his CDs. Can you tell me what record company he works with?

[SansVergogne3]

@betsydog0120 Great! The only thing is that Itunes has none of his CDs, isn't that weird? Where can I download his CDs, or at least this track?

[Sutra1lx]

@betsydog0120 Can't wait to be able to buy it... thank you for the update.

[bobbiesheret]

Extraordinary voice. Bravo. I wish he'd put out more CDs.

[tzwu]

Probably the best counter-tenor among the others who sang this piece

[milfil2000]

superb

[franceorganum]

Une voix absolument bouleversante ! L'accompagnement n'est sans doute plus véritablement du Caccini, mais l'interprétation est poignante.

[inessita65]

If angels can sing they sing like this!

[Sutra1lx]

True artistry... when a few words can convey such depth and connection to a being... This is my absolute favorite version and artist. Simply Beautiful!!!

[nayelinesme]

Gracias también por el Tempo

[nayelinesme]

Sonido muy hermoso y puro, versión elegante y espiritual. Gracias.

[artje123]

Vavilov, not Caccini

[beagles73]

amazing!

[ArcisDomina]

Magnifico!Sublime! Espectacular!

[ahamayoisac]

Interestingly enough he's spoken voice is totally not high pitch at all. This is just an amazing ability and, my God, the intonations are fab.

[o0Ame0o]

Mon ave maria préféré ... tellement beau!

Merci pour le magnifique partage !! ☺

[1963specialK]

I got one Cd of him whre he sings 13 differents Ave Maria , he is one off the best.

[VatoFeo]

You mean he's not between the best or you meant to say "one of the best" ???

[1963specialK]

he is on of the best, !!!

[Elbahsaw]

This has been one of my most favorite videos for nearly 2 years now! Please, please save it for me! I've been looking for CDs and DVDs forever!

[SpringNightAngel]

Damn. He can sing HIGH.

[erskellock]

Truly a delight - like a male Maria Callas with those beautiful rounded tones and effortless delivery!!

[donannna]

Breath-taking!

[ravisimon]

Hi there everybody,

what a truly celestial version of Caccini's Ave Maria - Slava is up there as one of the best counter tenors in the world - cheers - Ravi

[monacoboy67]

Absolute heaven this is put the lights out and listen - to all i have loved and lost x john

[Zeppolino100]

@monacoboy67 Another John here, and one who also feels the same way, and also experienced the loss of loved ones.

[donboia]

Bravo Slava Kagan-Paley!

[dibilioubouche257]

C'est très très très beau.

Quel talent!

[caspervegan]

Just wonderful!

[ginvideof]

Sublime, j'ai découvert ce morceau de Caccini en l'église de Périgueux la semaine dernier lors d'un concert. merci pour cette video.

[salomushotmail]

es en verdad muy hermoso......

[tamamanaia]

Wow. I definitkey didn't expect that but was truly impressed

[Yellowclown]

Parece q le esta hablando a dios, su alma se mezcla en su voz.

[Remennikovo]

Это лучшее исполнение Аве Марии, которое я, вообще, когда-либо слышал.

[BalletBabyBoy]

Exquisite! Made me cry...

[babylion86]

Wow, really sublime... I love the color of his voice, and the expressiveness he posses. Bravo!

[1soprano71]

beautiful..it's contemporary (because you know, this ave maria is really vavilov's) and still very much respectful and simple. i saw a rendition of this song and by the middle of it, they mixed it with a different genre (jazz). i love jazz but i just didn't think it was appropriate. so call me conservative!

[LazlosPlane]

Just which "Caccini" is this? Don't tell me anything about it being Giuglio Caccini the composer of the early 17th Century who, along with Jacopo Peri wrote the first opera.

[jackylen57]

Très jolie voix !

[franklindavid]

Great control of his voice, lovely rendition of Ave Maria.

[tonyluito2000]

I think he is 'vibrating' too much.

It makes it sounds not very pure~

[simonmobile1]

Vibrato :)

[kerpute]

this voice is able to open my hurt to Lord, perfect , Wonderful Lord Jesus Christ and His perfect, wonderful, wonderful Spirit!!!

[baritenor81]

my god, keep cool... :-)

[ymkkdm]

His voice reaches a very sensitive place in my heart and I can take a deep breath.His performance of Ave Maria by Caccini is the best one!

[vegforlife555]

Technically perfect... What incredible vocal control!

[dagordoncito]

Una gran voz, una bella interpretación, un video sugerente

[dagordoncito]

Un contratenor maravilloso. Una interpretación perfecta. Gracias por subir este video así te conocimos, Slava.

[preposterous3637]

I love how this guy's voice goes from being indistinguished from the string's notes to being a booming vibratto. Molto, molto bene!

[zordal41]

Perfection

[maritomato]

この曲を聴くと、買い物も、掃除も、何もかも、手に付かず、ただ­ひたすら聞き惚れています。他の曲が、色褪せて見えるのは何故？­？

とにかく素晴らしい！！の一言です。

[1965nicolette]

waar kan ik cd/dvd kopen van slava kagan-paley

[kuri2101]

Wonderful Just Wonderful!!!

[oksana116]

Вот это контртенор!!!! Потрясающе!!!!

[Volonter1985]

Beautiful alto

[c12mna]

Why always these modern orchestration with modern and electronic instruments ?

[Tonacity]

Beautiful voice! Keep up the fantastic work!

[Nacidodelmar]

SUBLIME! this is a voice with a soul!

[avalerlevent]

There's something so unique and beautiful about Slava.

[earlph]

What can one write for comment when tears are in the eyes of immotions... over such splendor... Just perhaps PRAISE THE LORD !!

[vonDali]

Beautyful 3:30, 3:31 I get gooseflesh!!! Ich kriege Gänsehaut!!!

[fanoperayou]

Slava, su voz angelical y hondamente expresiva, conmovió profundamente mi ser. La música de Caccini es dulcísima y bella.

[Martinob66]

Sublime...

[Tunze73]

Slava, your voice is absolutely amazing!!

[chuyomedina]

A countertenor

[phatsongbird]

very beautiful, but maybe Im old fashioned and partial, but I still prefer a woman to sing this.

[louisalit]

Very beautiful!

[xxxruka]

Bravo！ Bravo！！ Bravo！！！

[primu2002]

it's a middle between falsetto and "di petto" voice.

To do it you have to feel the voice under the palate

[classidance]

does he sing in falsetto voice? please help me guys... thank you

[lepamplemousse]

il chante faux. Et les synthés derrière sont vraiment de trop...

[TenorClef]

I thought his voice was perfectly fine for this song and i enjoyed his take on the song, the inflections were well interposed with appropiate creative input. I still personally feel Andrea Bocelli has the best take on this song but i did enjoy this one and thanks for posting on youtube!

[BalletBabyBoy]

Idiot! Unless you want your BALLS cut off like a true castrado then shut up! We will never know what a boy/man castrado sounded like but this is probably close. AND...the divine music was composed for the castrado voice...so listen and absorb the spiritual beauty!

[11JULIEN]

O COME ONE! his faking his voice.. everyone can fake a high voice. I can sing in a faked voice too. That doesn´t make me a soprano! thats cheatting.

[kngiht84]

You sir are a meathead, do you yourself have a fine legato when singing falsetto ? Do you yourself transport musical expression at all ? Do you yourself know that falsetto itself does not mean soprano range but contralto and mezzo ? Learn some more before criticising.

[davidjunedm]

I pray more people hear this tremendous beautiful voice. It might be the voice of an angel of heaven. I do hope so. What a wonderful sound. Brings joy to my heart just toheaar this voice.Bless you slava

[innocentamelia]

Amazing.. simply AMAZING.

Honestly, this beats a good deal of the soprano versions I've heard, it's SO beautiful! It hits the notes perfectly and still has the powerful impact of a high singer.

Unbelievable... <3

[Macedocountertenor]

não conhecia esse contratenor

achei muito boa a voz dele

ele cantou essa ave maria muito bem

muito bem mesmo!

[treble32]

Inspiring. Thanks so much!

[kngiht84]

This bloke has a perfect legato ! Well done

[DervisciRotante]

Bravo Bravo Bravo...a mio avviso uno dei migliori controtenori che abbia mai ascoltato,equilibrato in tutto.

[sakuramura]

スラヴァのアヴェ・マリアは最高です。

探していた動画にめぐり会うことができました。

ありがとうございます。

[maximus2C]

How old is he ?

[MajLange]

He is about 42 years old.

Jeff

[emmarob1208]

Wow a counter tenor some ppl think there rare but I found out I have plenty in the area i live in lol!

[oneradical]

Speechless....  I started to enjoy and like countertenors after seeing Jaroussky performed a few years ago. Since then, -thanks to YOUTUBE and those who add their videos- I have had the pleasure of broadening my list of favorite interpreters. Welcome to my list Slava, superb.

[kanajy]

Very nice, thanks for posting.

[croon4u]

Thank you so much for this. It's the best Ave Maria ever written, I think. I've loved it since I first heard Sumi Jo do it on her album 'Prayers'. Have a nice piano arrangement by Julian Yu which I'm working on now. I LOVE this tune so much. Much prefer it to Gounod, Schumann, Tesoreiro etc. And love this c/t version ; ) Thx for the post.

[lullabygarden]

Beautiful video. The lighting in this video reminded me of a Caravaggio's painting. The Caccini Ave Maria (remix) is more dreamy(a Narcissus reference, I wonder). And Slava's voice is so unusual and beautiful. There is one other singer that possesses a unique & otherworldly voice--it's Lisa Gerrard. I wonder what it would be like to hear a collaboration (duet) between Lisa Gerrard and Slava.

[Oracle411]

GORGEOUS.

[cRaSyTeNoR69]

WOW!what a voice!was he one of those kids in the choirs where they cut of the scrotum?

[prosabrusin]

Nope. He's a countertenor (highest pitch for a male singer)

[kngiht84]

And also equivalent to that of a soprano.

[sfkcbf]

"Countertenor = highest pitch" is not quite accurate: Occasionally, there are natural male altos, e.g., Russell Oberlin. Also rarely, there are falsetto sopranists e.g., Aris Christofellis; and even more rarely, there are natural male sopranos ("endochrinological castrati") e.g., Radu Marian, Randall Wong, & Jorge Cano.

[Esther57]

Slava, you are an Angel!

[scox4343]

I absolutely agree with you Esther57, it gotta be the voice from

heven and oridnary people do not aware of this so, they compare with other

female Opera Soprano likle Soomi Choi(Korean) . . .etc

God Bless Slava Kagan

every time I hear his voice, I relaize that I have tears on my eyes sorry for my poor English ( miss spelled)

[Zeppolino100]

@scox4343 Yes, this is indeed a voice from heaven, performing a composition from heaven. This is music felt in the soul. Don't worry about your spelling, as what you expressed is far more important..
