I enjoyed this, and I have to say, unlike many of the commentors I like the slower speed, eventhough I perform it at the more well know tempo!

awesome!

In my opinion, this is one of the best version.

I agree this sounds beautiful. It is unfortunate on these opinion sites ugly language is used, often by americans 2 months ago, to make a point. Frankly, the language is not appropriate next to this sublime music. Youtube should be more aggressive in limiting this pathetic language which adds absolutely nothing to an intelligent discussion of the merits of this performance. I am now anticpating a vile reaction with ugly words from the mid-west....

I really wonder whether the composer had this in mind when he wrote this. What happened to to counterpoint? This drags

@aiuhepdos idd! interpretation is up to each singer, not for CronosPrime1 to decide.

[CronosPrime1]

I don't think this version is being performed correctly, but I'm not sure how Palestrina intended the work to be performed, so I can't say for sure. I think the lower voices, especially the base, are a bit too loud. The high voice should "drift" and be heard above the other voices, creating a sort of surreal effect with its melody.

@beerstudd76 that's strange, i hear more than two parts in the second half.

[cellolove7]

Also, if I had to guess this is the San Patronio Cappella Musicale Soloists - Sergio Bartolo Conductor.
