Gabriel Faure - In Paradisum

[choirguy100]

I love this tempo. Most performances do this as a slow andante or adagio

[sooniemix]

LOL...too fast. paradise is not a highway...LOL!!!!

[DocXmas]

"In paradisum" is a piece to accompany the movement of the casket to the place of burial, so are they RUNNING with the casket?

[MrINAYA]

des frissons partout superbe ces voix céleste

[carlodante1]

The intonation and phrasing are nice, but the tempo is quick compared to the versions that I've sung and heard. The piece needs to be flowing and moderate.

[raspi093]

too fast. paradise is not a highway.

[mortenbh]

@raspi093 How du you know?

[raspi093]

@mortenbh

look even if it were a highway one should respect the composer's tempo indication. there is written 'andante moderato' . the editors since +/- 1903 indicate a quarter = 58, influenced by fauré's own pupils. even if one omits that consign, this version ,which I definitely do not consider as bad, is not andante moderato and considering the spirit of the whole opus too fast.

[choirguy100]

@raspi093 quater =53 is much too slow for an adante.

[pimsmit1]

Much too fast!

[Lufologue]

Norge 4 alltid ;-)

[bassbass99able]

Needs high tech equipment for the echoieness of the catherdral

[tonym911]

too fast, yep

[davidsnumberonediva]

Way too fast and could have been so beautiful, but not at this speed

[Psyche777able]

The organ is to fast. Should be a little slower.

[astralislux]

This is an excellent version.

[Eloris2]

why so much speed in interpreting that masterpiece ? too bad, the conductor didn't understood at all the spirit of "In Paradisium"

[prodomomea]

Tutto bello! All beautiful!

[Mystep]

Slow down!

[IIILoumusic3]

TOO FAST...Where's the fire???

[Poemsapennyeach]

Good version...for youtube...well done..

[MrColMC]

I think we are meant to think about the American soldiers in this culture. A film can do that. As a devout atheist the flagrant emotionalism of the music, for me, serves to make me even more furious than I was before. It's just too damn pretty! People are dying for their country (or has that, once again,become everyday routine!

[compgeni]

to fast.. much to fast..

[PrinsTan]

Isn't this performed a bit too fast? Were they anxious to get their aquavit.....?

[Amarynthine]

hu cares what he wears (unless its extremely inappropriate), we're here to listen

[sunnysideoflove]

i want this at my fun eral

[543693The]

Très bel ensemble d'Oslo ! Belle acoustique dans une très belle église. Le chef d'orchestre donne tout son être pour l'expression, les nuances .... Excellent !

[magpie4321]

What's the conductor wearing? Gauze?

[abracadabra32]

i don't like this conductor , he moves too much, and his movements are not precise at all : he prefers to dance ! But, anyway, the result is beautiful ! and the acoustic is fine too

[ExiledCarebear]

Well he is on camera maybe thats why

[magpie4321]

Me neither, and he's dressed to informally!

[StukeSowle]

Fell in love with this song after hearing it during the opening of "A Thin Red Line".

[18631938]

musica eterea,quieta,rarefatta....un senso dolce un sogno celestiale..come nebbie che si diradano...man man che si avanza e si fa chiaro il regno paradisiaco....Gabriel Faurè ha scritto una delle pagine piu belle di musica sacra di tutti i tempi.....Gloria eterna al maestro...............

[guynaz928]

wow i always wonder what this song was called since i first heard it on the movie "Copycat" i loved it then and still do.

[mschoirtchr]

odd, isn't it, that the church is gorgeous, the performers are impeccably dressed, but the conductor looks so sloppy. I like the faster tempo, btw.

[soittotaiteilija]

It happens.

[kpman]

a little too fast

[Funkywallot]

Very beautiful timbre in that church! Faure is easy listening for everyone. I was overwhelmed by his Requiem a long time ago,and it is the perfect piece for beginners :-)

[angelheartie123]

Requiem in D minor it is also called! I didn't know it was also called In Paradisum!! How great this is!!!

[fedor01234]

"In Paradisum" is the last part of this Requiem in D minor

[bsoglobal]
