Beautiful Catholic music. Thank you for uploading this!

@kwac88, I would say applause is a wonderful thing, regardless of whatever anyone says. Applause is an expression of joy and love, and it is honorable and decent to give musicians who worked their butts off applause for their efforts.

@Mr4stringman Nothing wrong with applause at a recorded concert, as long as the audience waits for the conductor to drop his hands, which is the tacit signal that it's okay to clap. After all, as Khagar says they have worked hard to make this music... it would be silly and rude not to show appreciation somehow!

The concert took place in February 1994, celebrating Palestrina’s 400th anniversary, filmed in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore (Rome, Italy) where the composer sang as a choirboy and later became maestro di cappella. Available under the title »Live in Rome« on CD and DVD at gimell.com.

Where was this venue? It's so artistic and majestic, along with the marvelous heavenly voices of The Tallis Scholars, it blew me off.
