Beautiful recording! Who's singing?

[brendafohio]

Not quite sure. I tend to leave the performer's name out to keep from getting the audio yanked by Youtube. But I bet if you look here on Youtube for the title you can find the singers. Sorry. Thank you for watching.

Thank you Brenda! One of my all-time favorite composers and matched so beautifully with one of my all-time favorite painters. Here's a translation of the heartbreaking lyrics:

Regrets sans fins --

I have to endure endless regrets;

in great mourning let my suffering bear on my days.

It would be better for me to end my life than to continue in such pain.

I want to abandon all pleasure;

I don't want to give solace since I have to suffer by desire only.

[brendafohio]

Thank you for the translation, I knew by the name it was not a happy song, but such despair, I had no idea.

could you tell us what albums you have of desprez? i've been searching for a good recording of "regretz sans fin" and finding mostly out-of-print cds on amazon. BTW, if you like desprez, i've heard no better than chanticleer's version of "o virgo virginum," which i've used for my video, "the greater light." check it out!

Your video is gorgeous! The music is perfect. Five starred and favorited. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Peace.

Sou fã incondicional do tom satírico e da proximidade do surrealismo de Bosch...isso em 1500d.C.

Did Josquin write the lyrics or just compose the music? Also, is this a full translation? I am not able to find the King's Singers version of this song on iTunes. Which album is is found and where can I get it?

@micrologus2 I don't think anyone is singing but the composer's name is Josquin Desprez.

What a wonderful soundtrack to follow my favourite artists' masterpiece.

Thanks for sharing perfection!

A música é linda, porém na minha opinião totalmente incompatível com o espírito perturbador e satírico de Bosch. A última coisa que Bosch desejava com seus quadros era transmitir paz ou tranquilidade. Hoje em dia conheço um grande artista quando sua obra me revira o estomago e ao mesmo tempo me agride com sua beleza e detalhismo. Grande seleção de imagens péssima selção de música!
