Barbara Bonney "Laudate Dominum" Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

[kf9as]

Love this! Not so sure about the Ecclesiastical Latin pronunciations, but I was simply taught differently. From a musical standpoint, her interpretation of this is amazing! Love the clarity of her voice, not overdone at all, and the prayerful tone is spot on. Good balance with the choir, too. Probaby one of the best-- if not THE best-- interpretations of this work that I have heard. Brava!

[acatalano2641]

@kf9as

Thanks for the favorable comments. BB is an expert Mozartian singer, no one can hold a candle to her interpretation of Laudate Dominum.

[elk312]

@kf9as It's the German pronunciation of the Latin, which is why it sounds a little different from the Church Latin. Notably, the "qu" combination is pronounced with a "v" sound so that quoniam, for instance, sounds like "kvoniam".

[acatalano2641]

@elk312

Thank you for your insight

From all over the world but I believe the mountains are in Austria.

[BasilMcHerb1]

Bello. stimolanto

[acatalano2641]

@BasilMcHerb1

Sono d'accordo con te:)

[danielbillingsley]

Absolutely right. I adore Barbara Bonney. I first discovered her gorgeous voice with a recording of Mozart lieder. Her recording of the Norwegian lieder of Grieg et. al. is spectacular. One of the finest Mozart and lieder interpreters of her generation, she is a brilliant musician. There is no pretension or hint of vulgarity in her voice. Sumptuous.

[bridgette751]

You just can't beat a Barbara Bonney performance!!!

[acatalano2641]

@bridgette751

Hi Bridgette...I agree with you. You will never be disappointed by the stellar interpretations of Ms. Bonney. I invite you to view other video with Ms. Bonney on my channel. Thank you.

[acatalano2641]

@hippyhorselover

God's creations are awesome!

[linsusanr]

Wonderful, thank you for sharing with us! My father sent it to me since he heard it being sung at a local church at Vespers, and listening to it now just gave me a few moments of pure bliss during a workday halfway round the world in Beijing.

[acatalano2641]

@linsusanr

Your welcome.

God gave us this beautiful earth and His love...we all should sing His praises :)

Thank you for your comment.

[HarmonicNature]

Lovely singing by Barbara Bonney; the "Amen" is perfect!

[waterblueglass]

So beautiful it brings tears to my eyes. I think I'm in another dimension....

Thank you!

[acatalano2641]

@waterblueglass

Your welcome, but the real credit goes to God, WAM and BB :)

Grazie per il tuo commento.

[aireschel1787]

These are some of the most spectacular pictures, combined with the heavenly voice of Barbara Bonney -- I'm truly praising God for His goodness and the infinite beauty of His creation. Thank you for sharing this!

[acatalano2641]

@aireschel1787

It is my great pleasure to share this video on You Tube.

But the credit goes to God, Ms Bonney and W.A. Mozart.

Da nada :)

[SerasxAlucard]

She is proof that God exists. Her voice that of a heavenly angel, who blesses us with her beauty.

[acatalano2641]

@SerasxAlucard

I'm a believer :)

[paulostroff99]

Lovely singing.TY Dobri and James for sending and acatalano2641 for posting.

[tomkellycartoons]

Oh! Oh! Thank you so very much for this. This came, for me, at the exact perfect moment. As a joyous opera buffoon for only a decade or so, I cannot believe I have not encountered this magnificent soprano til right now! How happy I am that you have shared this heavenly voice and music with us. I feel so very peaceful and happy...and a tear or two in the eye is always a nice thing, too. Again, thank you!

[acatalano2641]

@tomkellycartoons

Thank you for the lovely comment.

Ms Bonney's voice plus W.A. Mozart = is a God-sent to His people on earth :)

[tomkellycartoons]

@acatalano2641 I completely agree. So nice to meet you. I think I subscribed to your channel. I look forward to more of your sublime good taste! :) :) :)

[acatalano2641]

@tomkellycartoons

Welcome.

[cattleman6420012000]

Exquisite.

[mcpetropolis]

Wonderful.

[tomfroekjaer]

Mozart, as suggested in the now legendary film Amadeus, seems to have had a line to the Supreme Being (God or whatever you want to call it). At least this music is divine as is the very empathetic performance of Barbara Bonney. Such a find - absolute beautty.

[acatalano2641]

@tomfroekjaer

God bless Herr Mozart and Ms. Bonney for sharing their God-given artistry with the world.

[tomkellycartoons]

@acatalano2641 Oh, My Thomas! This came at the perfect moment and mood for me, and....how perfect....from you. Grazie, Mio Caro Amico!

[tomkellycartoons]

@tomfroekjaer Oh, My Thomas! As with so many blessings, this one came at exactly the right moment, in the right mood and...best of all...from you. Thank you, Mio Caro Amico....per sempre e sempre......

[CanadaPisces]

Heavenly music! Thank you acatalano2641 for the posting and Dobri for the sharing of this lovely video!

[acatalano2641]

@CanadaPisces

We all can use a piece of heaven down here on earth :)

Thank you for your kind words.

[lmitt]

Mozart, always one of my passions, and no work of his exceeds the Laudete. Bonney I discovered a mere 2 years ago and quickly fell in love with, what a singer &/or angel is supposed to sing like--and be like. Whether or not there is a God, and whatever He may be, He exists for me while I hear this. I cannot congratulate you sufficiently on this brilliant accompanying slide show, and thank you so much for putting this together! Apparently there are still kindred souls out there.....

[acatalano2641]

@lmitt

My friend. There is a God. He created Mozart, you and me, this beautiful universe and all that is good in the world. Praise the Lord, all nations; Praise Him, all people. For He has bestowed His mercy upon us, And the truth of the Lord endures forever. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,  as it was in the beginning, is now, and forever, and for generations of generations. Amen.

[delphicus]

Muchas gracias , caro Amigo desconoscido por Tus palabras y por la meravillosa sèrie de fotos - sobre todos ellas de las estrellas - que tu as puesto como illustracion de esta mùsica verdaderamente paradisiaca. toda vez que estoy oyendo estas notas me vien de llorar y de rogar a Dios .Que Diòs te conserve

[acatalano2641]

@delphicus

Usted es la mayoría la bienvenida a mi amigo.

El Señor nos dio este paraíso, sino una más magnífica que nos espera.

Vaya con Dios:)

[ximenadore]

Inmaculada interpretación, es un angel que viene con su dulce canto a nosotros

[acatalano2641]

@ximenadore

Sra. Bonney se ve y canta como un ángel.

[kimseongkon]

[acatalano2641]

@kimseongkon

God is most certainly alive.

He has given us this beautiful earth

and people to love. It is right to do

our best to take care of both.

[petrovatrear]

Beautiful...brings tears to my eyes...God does exist!

[acatalano2641]

@petrovatrear

God does exist and I thank him for all that he has given to his people.

[delphicus]

Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. Quando morì mia madre volli questo brano per il suo funerale. Ora ogni volta che lo ascolto mi ricordo di lei. Quam suscipiat Dominus in gremium suum

[acatalano2641]

@delphicus

Ti assicuriamo che tua madre è udito Laudate Dominum cantato da un coro di angeli in cielo. Grazie.

[anasilvagomez]

Sencillamente MARAVILLOSO!!!

[acatalano2641]

@anasilvagomez

gracias :)

[coralarch]

She's as good as Lucia Popp, and that is high praise indeed.

[acatalano2641]

@coralarch

I will go further....

Barbara Bonney and Lucia Popp

Both are and were extraordinary singers :)

[coralarch]

@acatalano2641 Thanks for the lovely images. I am not a believer in Giod, but hearing Mozart always makes me wonder......

[acatalano2641]

@coralarch

Your welcome.

If you keep your mind and your heart open you will find God :)

Give it a try.....remember......ask and you shall receive.....seek and you shall find....knock and the door shall be open to you...........

[bruce122046]

Very lovely performance, and nice sentiment in the images, some very pretty natural scenes that amplify the reverence in Mozart's music. However you wouldn't want to be in that beam shown in the next to last image showing it coming from the jet of M87 in the Virgo Cluster. That is a high energy beam coming from its super massive black hole. It that was pointed at us, we would be fried in a minute! The Latin with translation was nice, thanks.

[acatalano2641]

@bruce122046

For me God is represented by the beam of light shining his love and grace upon the earth and his people.

Thank you my friend :)

[Ann317]

I have the CD in which Barbara Bonney is singing this sublime piece of music and always derive the greatest pleasure from hearing it. What a great and glorious gift is a truly beautiful voice. Thank you for sharing it with us all.

[Ann317]

Barbara Bonney is the soprano I enjoy most of all. Combined with another favourite " Laudate Dominum " what a combination. An excellent recording which really is an exultation of music and the Almighty. Thank you to all concerned.

[225gabi]

Despues de escuchar algo asi ya no hay nada que decir. La mas absoluta belleza hecha musica.

@ acatalano2641

When I hear this song along with this slideshow I can't help but feel that we are already in heaven. You did a nice job putting this together. Thank You.

Barbara Bonney with this chorus was an incredible combo. Do you know which orchestra they are singing with and where they were performing this?

[acatalano2641]

@L4zy1

Thank you very much for the compliment.

Ms Bonney does sing heavenly.

Here is the information on the song:

Vesperae solennes de confessore for soloists, chorus & orchestra, K. 339 Laudate Dominum

Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Performed by English Concert

with Barbara Bonney

@Vereisky

Ms Bonney's version is incomparable.

Thank you.

[VonFleckenstein]

This is the song I want to hear at my funeral...

(OK, maybe I won't be able to at that moment, but you know what I mean).

[acatalano2641]

@VonFleckenstein

If this song is sung at your funeral

you will surely hear it. You will be

alive in a different dimension.

Thank you.

[VonFleckenstein]

Maybe, who knows... If I will still be alive in another dimension, and they play something different, I'll come back to haunt them!

(just joking)

[VonFleckenstein]

Dear acatalano2641, Thank you for posting the very interesting clip about Barbara Bonney. Very well made!
