Palestrina - Gloria

[kalunis]

sounds like i'm on fast forward

[verrrro]

which concert it is? it's the same in which there is the Miserere, I think... Where I can find the DVD??:)

@verrrro You may already have gotten this information, however, I give it now nonetheless: Yes, this is the same glorious concert in which the Sixteen perform Allegri's Miserere. The DVD, available, is called "Sacred Music-An Easter Celebration." Label Coro # 16079. Available at the Archiv.com website. And most likely on amaxon.com as well. The Tallis Scholars are also great in the

allegri Misere, however, I must rank The Sixtteen's performance, as here, the best. All on this DVD great.

I saw them perform twice at London's South Bank Centre last year and I regard them as the best interpreters of early English baroque/renaissance music that i have ever heard. They frequently perform with their own period orchestra who are equally as impressive.

Excellent! Thanks for the great performance and wonderful translations. Post more like this!

I love the little dance Harry Christophers does at 4:45 :)

Beautiful work!

That older lady is from the Tallis Scholars (whose rendition of this is the standard by which all others are judged)

How wonderful to have discovered this channel!! Early sacred vocal music is wondrous, inspiring and so gorgeous. Thanks you for The Sixteen!

@musicposter33417 : YOU'RE WELCOMED :D

[Avericum]

Beautiful, like nothing I ever heard before...

but why does the baritone sing "Gloria in excelsis Deo" with vabrato??

[alexgramma4]

@Avericum indeed, although its a matter of perspective and i dont mean to be cynical but this is too vibrant

[molealto]

@Avericum Eamonn's just enjoying himself...
