This recording appears on Early Music Sources: • How we realized Montev...
O how beautiful you are,
My love, my dove, my beauty.
Your eyes are like those of doves,
Your hair like a flock of goats,
Your teeth like flocks of shorn sheep.
How beautiful you are, O most beauteous one
How beautiful you are among all women
Leave, and come to me
For I languish with love.
Come, my sister, come, my immaculate one
For I languish with love,
And my soul is become liquid.

Absolutely stunning! I loved the Early Music Sources episode as well.
Thanks a lot! I am studying this with you and couple other recordings out here in the youtube waters, it is just amazing! Beautiful skilful and soulful singing! 💙
Great interpretation, great voice! Love the ornaments and very much appreciated the explanations by Elam on his channel…
amazing i love the ornamentation. so expertly executed.
One always knows about Monteverdi, but falling in love with him is something else. It happened to me in a concert with Exaudi. I couldn't believe what I was hearing... Anyway, this performance brought me those same feelings again. Superb! You two are fantastic.
Amazing use of "Monteverdi Trillo"! So difficult to learn and perfect! EXCELLENT JOB!!
Oh my god, YES!!!!! Standing ovation.
Your voice is a warm hug to my eardrums and you deserve a cookie 🍪 Beautiful performance! ♥️
Good voice, beautiful organ, thanks Jacob and Elam! The episode on this was AMAZING too!
Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for sharing this along with your detailed discussion of your realization.
How beautiful! 🥲
Wonderfully impeccable from every point of view!
Very good interpretation
Beautiful
Stunning!
This is simply so beautiful, i hoped there was a choir version of this madrigal
Espetacular! Obrigado por isso!
Bien chanté, belle voix ! Mais je ne pense pas qu'il faille ornementer la ligne de chant écrite par Monteverdi. Quand il le veut, il écrit les ornementations..
