Beautiful...

[jcirmsa]

I'm in this recording! It was one of my favorites to sing. Beautiful piece!

[MarjonBen]

Simply beautiful. Love the deep basso

[saga01b]

simply divine

[slmacd1]

This song is beautiful on its own, but this is just breathtaking.

[zbigpron]

stunning performance! especially basso voice

[ADRMusic]

Is it me or do I hear a bass on a low A on the V of the last cadence? Wow...

[MrRakitaVoCal]

@ADRMusic Yes you do! Eric Orr = Beast Bass

[Samkin101]

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE Rachmaninov's score; as I feel that the women add a lot of I don't know, authenticity, to the piece. But this men's arrangement is absolutely breathtaking. The mixture of male voices combined with the lower tessitura just adds so much warmth and serenity to the piece.

Thanks for making my life more difficult Kingofsng...Now I have to go back and forth between which arrangement is my favorite : P

[elicandondo]

I dont like. The Rachmaninov's score request also the female voices ... and in this version you miss female voices. Am disagree with other versions that no respect original version. Just because if the piece was for a male choir, Rachmaninov wrote it differrent. Point.

...and I thought that Haggard's performance was the best. Seems I was wrong. This is perfect!

[Miki42]

I had trouble performing this song without breaking down into tears...truthfully it is that beautiful.

[angel2rx]

very pure sound, perfect

also, more often than not, Her veil is blue, signifying her Ever Virginity. Interesting that the 'pillars' of Protestantism....none the less than Zwinglii, Calvin, Luther and Wesley, kept the Tradition of Mary's 'Ever Virginity', now, much disputed by the so-called Protestant 'West', of course, they all dispute each other anyway. But, that's for another time.

@novokarpati Total # of uploads on your page = 0. In between sessions of critiquing other people's stuff, you should "contribute" some art as well. It's really fun, you get do it exactly how you want.

[JJoKKa4]

Unfortunately no Orthodox icons... This doesn`t belong together- Bogorodice Djevo and wrong western representations of our Bogorodica. No matter who sings...

[OCTenor2]

Awesome Job dude, thanks for doing this!!

[novokarpati]

very good,....as a 'technicality' the Ever Virgin is ALWAYS depicted as such by the Holy Church with 3 stars , one each shoulder, and one on Her headcovering...signifying the Status. If one studies such things...ALL...Eastern Orthodox ikons follow this ancient Tradition, and She ALWAYS except for the Annunciation ikon, is depicted with the Christ Child, for She ALWAYS points to Him, the First Born SON of the Most High GOD. Slava Isuzu Hristos, Slava Naviki..!
