  • So touching....one of the best performances of Barber's Agnus Dei that exist.

  • love the choir.. so heavenly.

  • this is absolutely beautiful...im in my skl choir, 14 years old and hope one day 2 sound this amazing!

  • Even though I am an atheist, I find this music absolutely divine. It seems religion was a powerful source of inspiration for musicians and composers.

  • indubbiamente la migliore interpretazione, grazie, giovanni vianini, SCHOLA CANTORUM MILANO, Italia

  • When was this recording made ? I am wondering at the bad image quality of the video (?).

  • I think this is the best rendition of Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei. I would rather enjoy playing it more if it wasn't for the audio quality (over modulation and distortion) on this video. It will be nice to re-upload this master piece.

  • Listening to this actually brings tears to my eyes - whit's at I imagine a choir of angels will be like in heaven (hope I'm right!) - otherwise, this is heaven on earth. LOVE!

  • I can't decide which version is better, the Adagio for Strings or this one... it's like comparing bliss and rapture...

    Agree with Carlyofyork.

  • ooops says so at beginnning. sorry. silly me:)
