    I don't know if there is any such thing as a perfect performance of any musical work, but this comes as close as I ever hope to hear. Simply cannot get enough of this group. They are in the territory of the sublime.

    WOW! This is the first time I've ever heard this with just 8 voices (and an excellent small orchestra) ...Absolutely STUNNING!!! Faure would be proud of this beautiful presentation. Now, I would treasure listening to the 'entire' work. How about it, VOCES8? Feed us more of your musical perfection...please!

    Love the melodic interplay between the Soprano, Tenor & Bass and the Harp. The addition of the high solo Violin using harmonics is simply a masterstroke of orchestration. Just goes to show one doesn't need the orchestra the size of Hector Berlioz to make your musical statement! Having said that the Berlioz Sanctus is equally beautiful.
