I agree. The vibratos don't ruin it per se, but they definitely make it less enjoyable and I'm just sitting here listening to it thinking the whole time "this would be a lot better without so much vibrato"
This would be spooky delicious without so much vibrato. I can't stand pervasive vibrato in early or pre-Baroque music. Voices are rich, acoustics good, mic placement good. Just too much vibe. At 2:41 and 2:43 I heard a telltale "pop, pop" from a vinyl recording. That explains the vibrato (performed in the vinyl era, when most ensembles sang all early music with "modern" vibrato). OK, how many times can I say "vibrato" in this post?
Must be a recording from 1958 re-released by the Musical Heritage Society in 1972. I wanna puke!

Great! A real joy to listen to.

Is this Lassus or Verdi? The vibrati are more suitable for La Scala than a room in a 17th century palazzo!

@marsvltor2 But how we know how they interpret this music in the XVII century?

Should get to listen to the version Claude le Jeune wrote for this poem. Very nice! (And the lute solo version is exquisit). :D

I think that thinner voice with more soft vibration is better for music like this. This women's voices spoil harmony of polyfony

Ridiculously overdone vibratos. really horrible interpretation IMO, I really don't like listening to it although it the piece itself is nice music.

A little mistake : the mezzo is'nt Denise Schwartz but Magali Schwartz.
