My God, but that boy soprano has a GLORIOUS voice. Perfect choir and orchestra for this style of music.

My mother choose this song for my brother’s funeral. It still makes me sad 40 years later.

The power of the human spirit and the art within us

I first heard this beautiful piece done by King's College Choir. Their take on it remains, for me, the standard bearer. Back in my college days, I had the remarkable pleasure to perform at King's College Chapel with the Heinz Chapel Choir...something I will always cherish.

The most outstanding rendition I have ever heard of Pie Jesu. And there are many excellent interpretations to compare with. The purity of the boy soprano´s voice is more than stunning. It´s minimalistic, totally stripped of decoration and bravura. The Agnus Dei is furthermore beautifully performed. I am so grateful for notyobs to have posted it.

I hope more people get to hear this! We need more music like this in our lives.

I totally agree with you on that statement ❤

Love the soloist's voice...it's very flute-like and pure!

Agnus Dei is just so stunningly beautiful

Merci Faure, Merci...

This is an angel singing. I'm in heaven in this moment.

Fantastic. Thanks for the upload. Faures Agnus Dei is anything special in the world of the eternal music.

The little boy is like an angel!

The Saints in Heaven are rejoicing over this song!

Faure's Requiem has always seemed to me to be one of the very greatest pieces of music ever composed.

one of my favorite recordings of faure's requiem of all time. one of the best and most authentic recordings, as well.

the timbre of a boy's voice is perfection for this austerely sensual piece

This is a beautiful piece given full justice by the King's College choir. The boy soprano has such a clear, silvery voice. I remember when I first heard the melody of the Agnus Dei, years ago, that I thought it was the most beautiful tune I'd ever heard.

yourforte he definitely has a beautiful, clear, silvery voice. However, I am picky about what music I like. Some composers are, in my opinion, better than others.

Oh Almighty Father! Pity for us! How beautiful sound way to carry our praises to You!

I first heard the Faure on the night that John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. Since that time it has remained my most favorite mass. The Kings College Chapel Choir has done several versions of this and I'm still amazed at the wonder of their voices! Thanks so much for uploading this. It's a gorgeous work, beautifully done.

Having just performed Faure's Requiem for our Palm Sunday service and having lost my choir director, her husband, and her mother in a fatal crash with a drunk driver, listening to this and other sections brings cathartic tears expressing the grief I feel. Thank you

Kings College boy's choir has provided choral to several moviescores. Simply amazing!!

My favourite Requiem; the Agnus Dei being my favourite part of the Requiem. I sang this piece; it's spine-tinglingly beautiful. Heartbreaking harmonies.

beautiful beautiful, I had the pleasure of playing this piece last easter, I fell in love with Faure.

6.23 tears are streaming down my face. this is soooo beautiful. I am not religious but this music is sublime.

You gotta admit; that's pretty special. I haven't heard a better rendition of Fauré's Pei Jesu on YT. That young boy has a beautiful voice.Then again, I wouldn't expect anything less from the Kings College Choir. Thanks for sharing this with us.

truly uplifting, thank you God for having some folk with the skills to create beauty.

How beautiful - God bless this child - God is great and loves us - ...

What a simple singing....so impressive. The soloist voice is clear and immaculate.

can't believe the nerves this lad shows. it is an incredibly hard song to sing - the breathing requires real stamina even in a relaxed rehearsal setting! well done - very moving

Wonderful

Just really can't understand who would dislike this one .. Even the gods should be shedding tears of joy .. so beautiful ...

Une interprétation magnifique, tout comme celle de Elin Manaha Thomas, une autre interprétation splendide. Comme avec le Misere d'Allegri , le King's College Choir me ravit ; c'est tellement beau !

how beautiflly SWEET....,,the angelic boy...the music and the Nativity painting!

My goodness! He is a revelation! Even if the tempo is a little bit quick, this is beautiful.

Very good soloist - and the choir too ! Kind regards from Germany

The voice of an angel

Our church choir is performing this in a couple of weeks. Beautiful song and well performed.

The Pie Jesu's tempo is rather fast, but the voice is gorgeous. Imagine that purity of sound in a developed adult voice and it gives an idea of how amazing the castrati must have sounded in the 17th-18th centuries

THE VOICE OF ALL THE ANGELS, SOUND OF THE HEAVEN

I don't have words to define this masterpiece

Beautiful and appropriate for remembering the real Christmas

Pie Jesu was sung by an angelic gift to mankind.

Arguably, one of the finest renditions i've ever heard!

I think both boys and women can sing this beautifully. They each bring a different texture and substance to this amazing piece of music!

Fauré tellement suave !!!!!.💝

l'introduzione orchestrale dell'Agnus Dei è meravigliosa...

Shame KZread sound so bad... I'm not a believer in any way but imo these menaced masterpieces are timeless expression of the best part of humanity. I'm not a connaisseur either but for me no female interpretation can move my heart as these young boys. Thanks so much for sharing. Merci

gaetan brisson I fervently agree with you.

The work, and this performance, are both sensational!

Очень красиво - прекрасная музыка и чудесный ролик! Спасибо.

I agree entirely with you, InsectQueen. I'm a gal, but have a boy tenor voice. It's being in this amazing groove of space, soaring, then staying up there. That is what Faurè intended. Effortlessness. Like grace. The boy is exquisite.

Amazing voice for Pie Jesu and it helped me get into the school choir!

My Farther used to sing in Kings college Cambridge amazing place

My favorite choirs, period. Thank you for sharing this!

This brought tears to my eyes, the boy is amazing! Wow.

The boy singing Pie Jesu - if that was your son you would be most proud !

L'innocente pureté de la voix des anges qui nous élève ' faire chanter les enfants dans toutes les écoles devrait être dans les programmes d'enseignement

Thanks. Great to be able to names to these wonderful people.

Lovely. The purity of the boy's voice is amazing. Bless music for all occasions. This is perfect for a requium. Thanks for the post.

My choir days are over and we never got a vhance to sing this. Wish I had.

That is amazing and horrifying at the same time. I didn't know it was possible to be in choir for any length of time and not sing this.

@ilufiki i have expirience at being in a childrens choir im head chorister of chester cathedral girls choir i have sung the pie jesu many a time and it is indeed a compliment that i have a naturally straight boy chorister sounding voice because that helps me to sing the typw of music we sing at the cathedral almost everyday.

Beautiful how they do that, beautiful.

Beautiful. Thank you.

Love this, so pure and innocent

The pie jesu's beatiful.

King's, how could one expect anything else but exquisite?

Wunderbar gesungen danke🙏❤️🌹

Bellissima voce e coro fantastico

Stunningly beautiful and humble. I feel the same awe when listening to the amazing ANDREY NEMZER singing SAINT FRANCIS PRAYER. Such humility and inspiration!

This music is a salve for the soul.

this is the best of the choirboy the most wonderful voice. i got that on video and cd music.

Voce stupenda. Coro magnifico

This kid is beautiful. Perfect.

Oui c'est beau. Je suis heureux vous l'ai apprécié.

Pie Jesu and Agnus Dei were part of a televised performance of the Requiem broadcast on BBC2. No CD was issued as far as I am aware.

I visited your choir years ago, with the Friends of Cathedral Music! Can't remember when precisely, some time in the 1990s.

This is very nice...I love hearing this song...Really nice...

This is not a song.

Gorgeous !

Simply AMAZING!

that was excellent

Faure pedía que sea con la voz de un niño... conmovedor

Phenomenal.

Faure intended both soloists to have that "cantor-like" quality as in the Catholic Church, pure, clear as silver, and lyrical, not vibrato-wide-a-truck-can-fit-through-it operatic. Excellent job!

Just beautiful

this is one of the most cosmic sounding pieces I have heard, particularly at 6:15, those chords blow me away

This must be the definition of "angelic" singing . Wonderful

meraviglioso!

magnifique! superbe interprétation! Mille bravos!

1:37-1:54.... Exquisite.

Oh God yes. We are about to audition the solo for this and I surely hope we don't get the operatic version. I had hoped to tab a child for this.

fantastico

That's the EMI recording with Dietrich Fischer Dieskau and Victoria de los Angeles. Really the all time best.

incredibly beautiful

I've only just discovered this piece. I don't know how it's escaped me for so long. It's so beautiful it made me cry.

It is beautiful! I first came to know about this when I sang it in my freshman year as a music student at the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago in 1976. It was so beautiful, every time I hear this it brings back lots of memories!!

Finally!!! I've been trying to find this song for ages but I always get some different song with the same name.

The sounds of heaven....

¡Impresionante! Qué belleza! I wish one day the Masses in all entire world would be in latin in order to can listen this marvellous pieces...

This is from far the best version..

Faure wrote this part for a boy soprano. That is probably the best reason for it to be sung by a boy soprano.

Lovely!

Agnus Dei, qui tolis,miserere nobis,agnus Dei, qui tolis peccata mundi,dona nobis pacem.

I agree with you, Alissson. This teenager is flawless in this performance.
