Voces 8 is a rare treat no matter what they present. What extraordinary quality in phrasing, intonation, tonal beauty. They blow me away!

Heavenly singing VOCES8. ❤. By singing you ease my pain when the medicines don't work anymore. Thank you so much ❤.

Andrea Haines is a quiet force of nature - and this is a glorious ensemble. Thank you, Voces 8, Master Tallis - and God!

This is perfect. When the soprano's sing like the boys of Westminister or Oxford There's nothing left to complain...

Just goes to prove this group just doesn't "record" well....they are just as perfect live. Any choir should observe how this group LISTENS to each other and balances his or her voice within the piece of music. This is true musicianship at it's finest.

The idea of recording well is silly. Professionals should be equally good, whether they have extra takes or not.

@@MerricMaker That's not what Kevin means by "recording well." He's talking about the audio equivalent of being photogenic. As with people's faces on film or video, some people's voices are flattered by sound recording, and others' aren't flattered at all (rather the contrary). For what it's worth, I think VOCES8 usually sounds just fine on recording, but I haven't heard them live so I can't compare.

how can you say "any choir should do" ? do you know how professionals choirs work ? with what you say I can see that you don't, cause this is exactly what we do in choir, but it's not really the same work as with 30 singers it's often hard that the last right singer can hear the last left ... choir and 8 singers is clearly not the same, and if you were knowing your subject you won't say that =) so plz don't write something like that without knowing what you are talking about =)

I sang in the University Choir many years ago…this superb interpretations make me remind of the beauty we lived doing it ! Thank you VOICES8

Superbly gifted young people with encyclopedic knowledge of music and the talent to perform it flawlessly. I was fortunate enough to hear collaborators of theirs, the Gisauldo Six, a year prior to the first lockdown and have only heard Voces 8 on cd and youtube. That doesn't detract from the feeling I've experienced a tiny glimpse of heaven. We're very lucky to have such talent in the uk.

Beautiful.thank you so much.❤

Brilliant and breathtaking! A joy to listen to and lift our spirits at this lockdown time. Thank you.

Their performance is musically intimate so I recommend seeing them live in a smallish venue. This is perfect!

The entire concert was fantastic, but I hope the Cambridge audience appreciated the rare privilege of hearing a live performance of the Monteverdi Sistina Madrigals, especially such an exquisite performance!

Exquisite singing - you convey the emotionality of the individual pieces. I hear both the whole and each voice - wonderful balance. Thank you for reminding us of the transcendental.

I need a standing ovation emoji and a Grammy emoji!

I’m a real fan of your interpretation of choir music. Thank you 🙏 so much for uploading to KZread !

The best music for a peaceful sunday morning. Thank you for letting us participate.

Good work!

What a wonderful concert. It’s great to hear new choral music as well as old. Voces8 are superlative musicians but what astounds me is that no one voice ever seems to dominate They really listen to each other and the whole sound takes precedence over any one contribution. Great team work! It must be so hard to achieve this and I imagine they rehearse long long hours. I love the Monteverdi madrigals especially in this intimate environment.i am enjoying this confined at home in France during the Covid epidemic. Wouldn’t normally find the time....

love ALL of it - they are second to none! Heard them on a visit in England before they were so well known and we immediately knew that they had a stellar way ahead of them. I'm in love with their singing.

What a way to start the day - “Sing Joyfully” - bright and energetic.

Somebody was complaining about the lousy acoustics in another YT video live performance these folks did, I should point them here. The reverb and "liveness" here is spectacular. ;-)

You are the best! Congratulations from Spain!

Clean as always. I love to hear them. ♥ ️🎼🎵🎶

Ein wunderschönes Zusammenfügen der einzelnen Stimmen und Phrasierungen mit ganz wenigen emphatischen Aufwärts-Glissandos, wozu diese Musik und die Kathedrale ein wenig verleiten.

Thanks

BRAVO! For me Lagrime D’Amante al Sepolcro Dell’Amata are heavenly, well done!

Bravissimo!

Fantastic! Any prediction to come to Portugal some day?

It’s remarkable that the Trinity College Choir sings this well, IN THIS VERY VENUE, three times a week for services during term. I just now compared their two renditions of “O Nata Lux” and I think that I prefer the Choir’s version. And they take on the newer/more difficult repertoire also.

no, not possible, not sold out, what a shame to you, Cambridge

Exquisite indeed. How do these gifted people maintain pitch throughout?

@SteveL2012

Some of them probably have perfect pitch, and the others tune to them. This happens quite naturally after singing in small choirs for a while with a high level of musicianship. Voces8 is fabulous!

I like to think the tenor with a beard has something going on with the tall soprano. Not so sure with the suit he has on in this one. I love you Voces8. Very great full I can here you from far away.

I was wondering when you are Coming to my city of Joliet IL I Love if you Came to my city thak You

Gorgeous, gorgeous music making in every way!!! : ) (...though I could have done without all of the cutesy comments in between.)

I hope to hear them live some day. San Francisco in the future?

Oh I've just missed that :'( , when should you come back in Cambridge?

@ 15:06 are they using tablets instead of sheet music? Very nice!

Why do listeners seems compelled to point out minor ‘mistakes’ (if indeed they are)? These listeners don’t seem too sure themselves. I can’t help but think that (a) they want all other listeners to know how learned they are in music, as if anyone really cares, or (b) they must have a touch of OCD. , which I sincerely hope is not the case. I find it so distracting and condescending. Just enjoy and stop being picky. C. Waugh

Dissonance by mistake at 36:06?

lose the Crucifix and you have a winner.

I don’t think it was meant to be such dissonance at 6:53. I think guys screwed up who were supposed to go major instead of minor. No disrespect meant. Am I mistaken?

Ken Getz There are lots of such dissonant harmonies when they sing for example “sleep” by Eric Whitaker. Those are beautiful. I grew up in professional musician family, sang in the choir, And I sang and recorded solos. This 6:53-6:56 dissonance is not sounding good at all. If this was written in music notes it was not executed properly. It was not supposed to sound this bad. Just humble observation and opinion. No offense or disrespect intended. These guys are at the top of the game. But no one is perfect.

sorry, have to say it: Barnaby, I love you and your voice and your commitment and knowledge of the music you perform. Your voice is amazing. BUT can you please stand still in performance? Look to your fellow performers for guidance. There is certainly expressivity, as there should be, but your movements and facial expressions bordering on mugging at times are, frankly, distracting...
