How can 8 voices sound like 80? Beautiful, makes me want to start singing again at 85!

Acoustics, of course!!

I've never heard strings and voices blend this well, the low instruments especially, they sound like a basso profundo section. Incredible.

Best version I've ever heard. Brought me to tears. A little bit of heaven on earth.

Ooooooohhhhhh man… I live in and am from the SOUTH… have been singing this piece for decades and nothing compares to this… wow

The fact that we can hear their voices over the instruments is incredible to me, both the instruments and their voices are so powerful!

To each his own, I guess. Fine performance, but it is a live room and everyone is over-miked, for my taste.

Everything they said about the vocals, but also praise to the intro by the violist.

Viola actually!

This is so beautiful and moving--a deeply emotional and prayerful rendition of an important expression of grief and longing in the huge sad saga of the American black experience. Thank you all! Thank you!

👏 Bravo! 👏 Thank you for lifting people's attitude, as well as their spirit. ♥️

Thank you for blessing us this morning with such warmth, tranquil yet beautiful rendition of this piece! ❤❤❤🌻

Such a gorgeous arrangement!

Lovely arrangement and rendition! I especially loved the TB unison starting in 2:40 then building up to the split at 3:00. Like Wow!!

One of my favorite American spirituals performed beautifully!

Tranquil & awe-inspiring like a deep river. A 🎁 of beautiful musical experience. 💝

Voces8 does it again...just when I thought Deep River couldn't be any more beautiful. Thank you Voces8!

why am i crying? :'( thank you for this beautiful piece.

Magnificent! What a beautiful harmonization of voices and musicians!

Sad to see a couple of comments from people unable to enjoy this on its own merits. Such compositions are of obvious cultural significance but as music, this is a gift to be shared by artists and audiences alike. Surely togetherness and cultural learning is what makes music so important to humans of all cultures?

Amazing arrangement and singing. It’s the only choir I’ve heard where it’s almost impossible to single out a voice - even the counter tenor

What an incredible arrangement and performance. Thank you! I'm not crying, you're crying:)

One of my favourite pieces by T.H. Burleigh. I'm thrilled by this awesome performance. So glad to be hearing this arrangement. Nice work!

Another perfect sound from VOCES8. Wonderful power paired with absolutely secure voices. They are accompanied by an equally perfect string ensemble. So the Gospelsong Deep River gets the right sound, in great perfection.

Wunderschöne Interpretation, voces8 wie immer hervorragend und das Zusammenspiel mit dem Orchester, einfach gelungen, berührend

I am in awe of the ease in which they project their voices into the space! The females lovely floating voices are stunning! I enjoy this group of vocalist very much! Much of their music taps a deep emotional part of me! Maybe it’s the feel of the godly sounds that can only be produced by the human voices.

Moving arrangement and performance!

Heart rending and peaceful with a splash of joy for good measure 💚

I listen to this rendition regularly for the good of my soul. Thank you. All of you.

Bravo encore ! Je vous écoute souvent avec bonheur et apprécie aussi vos prestations avec d'autres chanteurs et des musiciens

Andrea you transport me straight to glory. Thank you.

My dad would have loved this. I can hear him now, harmonising and getting so much enjoyment. This brought tears but happy ones. Thank you

Nice to see you here, Matthew. Great arrangement! Greetings from Leipzig!

Bravissimo from Lisbon, Portugal.

wow such richness of tone and feeling. welcome to your new soprano Molly.

I could do with a lot more from this partnership! Just delightful!

It's 9am on Sunday, about to go to church to play the organ and this was just perfect to hear. Many thanks,, gorgeous.

Not only do the voices and instruments blend so well and keep perfectly together in time, but they also do so over the whole range of dynamics of this wonderfully expresive piece. Pure heaven in music. Oh well, time to come back to earth!

Eine wunderbare Fassung und mit VOCES8 - was soll man sagen - (m)ein traumhafter Sound! Thank you!

Thank you for this beautiful arrangement.

The most beautiful version of this song - as arrangement and performance!

Uowwwww!!!! Amazing!!!

Beautiful performance. Great to see such a diverse collection of people collaborate - prejudice and bigotry should have no place in today's world. (Especially the soft bigotry of low expectations).

So it's not good enough that we can appreciate their talents solely for our enjoyment!?! There are no low expectations with a VOCES8 collaboration.

Greetings from South Africa. Magnificent rendition. I sang this hymn in a double quartet years ago. Nothing like this rendition. Beautiful ❤️

So. good.

This arrangement of this Spiritual is so beautifully heartbreaking--it has driven me to tears. Thank you for this. Perhaps this arrangement can be sung at my funeral….it would be a lovely thing to song me home.

Vozes de excelência a concederem-nos música excelente... O mundo assim é mais humano!

Bravissimi!!! 👏 Suggestiva esecuzione di uno degli spiritual più belli.

Flabbergasted! Such a beautiful rendition. 🎶

HUGE kudos to the violist at the beginning, amazing bow control!

Fantastic! Voices and Strings match perfect together. You have to hear it by using good speakers! Otherwise you´ll unfortunately miss the magic!

Amén!!

The voices is obviously fantastic, but there's something powerful about the viola opening.

Nice🌿

I thought I wanted to hear only traditional renditions of Deep River but then THIS...

Bravissimo 😀

Nice viola

Mooi 🥰
