I could not imagine a better performance...I would like to thank each person who contributed to the making of this magnificent recording 🤗 And here is the text : the original title is "Echo" by Christina G. Rossetti. Come to me in the silence of the night; Come in the speaking silence of a dream; Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright As sunlight on a stream; Come back in tears, O memory, hope, love of finished years. Oh dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter sweet, Whose wakening should have been in Paradise, Where souls brimful of love abide and meet; Where thirsting longing eyes Watch the slow door That opening, letting in, lets out no more. Yet come to me in dreams, that I may live My very life again though cold in death: Come back to me in dreams, that I may give Pulse for pulse, breath for breath: Speak low, lean low, As long ago, my love, how long ago.

A privelege to have studied with you, Grande Ivo💯

Apart from a beautful, brilliant piece, a quite frankly stunning choir, can we also give praise to the superb recording?

They don't know it now. However, in 50+ years they will look back on this as one of the most treasured moments of their lives. How very beautiful.

What a brilliant remark, and really the essence of the text of the poem. The English just wonderfully have this stuff in their blood.

Your statement is so true. How wonderful for these young singers that they are part of this beauty.

You will never be fresher nor more beautiful than right now. I’m privileged to share of a few moments of wonderful life.

Fantastic pianist! But seriously, it's almost impossible to imagine how a choir with an average age of 21/22 (?) can achieve such an immaculate performance. Well done!

A truly sublime setting of words of love and loss, sung with such heart-piercing tenderness by one of the greatest choirs in the world. A revelation, and a wonderful gift from Ivo Antognini, Stephen Layton and the Trinity choir. Thank you to all involved, and RESPECT. ❤

This choir is very good. The basses in particular are exceptional 👌

An absolutely gorgeous work magnificently performed by this extraordinary choir. This work should become a staple in the world of choral music.

When I looked at the start of this score, I just saw three F major chords. But when this choir sings those chords I’m immediately whisked off onto a gravity-defying ride on a moonbeam. In that rare atmosphere we’re floating weightlessly in some liminal space. Maybe it’s that place where those souls brimful of love abide and meet. Anyway, it’s a miracle.

2.29 brilliant! The face of the lady in green directly to the left of the conductor after the soprano's hit those high notes 😅

This is the chorus! This is just intonation! Thanks for the great performance.

I am totally fascinated with this piece by Ivo Antognini, and the Choir of Trinity recording... wow!!! Thank you for this.

An absolutely gorgeous choral work by Swiss composer Ivo Antognini. Beautifully sung and recorded.

I wish you great success for this superb and majestic work! Ivo, your ability to write divinely luminous music is boundless and may you be blessed to continue to give light to the world. Mr Layton, thank you for your alchemical mastery with which you give us such sublime performances, where the human merges with the scores with such a great love. Thank you, Mario Fontana

Stunning! i listen this over and over again and it brings such a joy and goosebumps. What a beautiful voices, outstanding timing ….i get goosebumps! What a musicality! Thank you so much!

Incredible performance, there couldn't be any better performance. Astonishing recording, the quality of the mixing and the stereo image is wonderful. Thank you!

Very fascinating bath of beautiful sounds !! Thank you so much !!

What a superb choir! Just sublime.

This is absolutely wonderful choir singing. 🎶 🎻

Such a beautiful performance! All the different voices at different levels! Superb!

What a beautiful composition! And this warm and emotional rendition by one of the very finest choirs tops it all off. What an incredibly talented group (and director, sad to learn that he's leaving)! Someone already mentioned it, the brief moment of astonishment and admiration around 02:28 (check the soprano's) brings a big smile to my face too!

Nice music, Ivo! Perfect performance, Stephen! Beautiful choir!

Bravo!

This is absolutely brilliant.

Beautiful.

Wonderful voices.

Fantastico Ivo, da brividi! And for the Choir: I have no words... but only emotions❤

Wow! Beautiful perfomance.

I’ve posted the poem (public domain) twice in the last few minutes, but it’s disappeared. The title of the poem is “Echo” by Christina Rossetti. You can find the text online by Googling that information. Now I see the text has been left as a comment by the composer himself. Hopefully, that will not be deleted. 😎🎹

Almost perfection, except for sopranos almost screaming. Not needed. Listen to the much maligned basses. They sing like angels?

@suzanba7

I disagree. Screaming played no part. 'Brimful of Love' meaning overflowing with love, so you are allowed to sound joyful, as indeed they do.

Beautiful but I'm suspicious. Why does the solo girl put one leg forward. Is she more in favor with the choir leader? I've been in a choir where morals were way below the morals they sang about. I would appreciate the choir way more if I'm more sure of their commitment to Jesus Christ.

What an absurd remark. Helena is the Soprano soloist as stated. Perhaps you should look her up? I am a proud atheist, but I would happily play this at least once a week for the rest of my life - it is perfection.

Singing technique involves filling the lungs with as much air as possible, particularly the lower lungs, by using the diaphragm. I assume that the ladies place their hands on their lower backs to check that they are filling the back of the lungs as well.
