Le summun de la messe baroque. Puissance des choeurs et des trompettes. Une interprétation remarquable, les spectateurs sont tellement impressionnés par la splendeur de cette musique qu’à la fin ils en oublient d’applaudir en attendant que cette messe se prolonge. Une oeuvre à partager sans modération !!
I suddenly noticed someone sitting next to me and upon closer inspection I realized, much to my ecstasy, that it was I sitting there next to myself; the music was so glorious, so divinely inspired and performed with such expertise, such flair, such profundity, I was magically transported to an altered state and quite literally beside myself.
I was surprised and delighted to see that the hall remained silent after the last note sounded. This is as it should always be. There is a good reason, though you might not think so. It has to do with the vibrations in the air that remain after the music stops. The music is still radiating outward, outward and it needs a space of silence to move into. The cacophonous beating of hands, the rowdy applause, beats it back and obliterates the afterglow that is absolutely necessary for the FULLEST enjoyment of the music. The music needs to be surrounded by silence. That way, it can be heard better. It's like clearing the palate between courses at dinner. At the end of a piece, the audience should hold back their enthusiasm for a few seconds. Let the music subside like the distant wake of a ship.
When the audience dives in with applause as soon as the music ends, it always makes me feel as if they were impatient for it to finish, and are applauding BECAUSE it's finished.
10:55 The whole choir replying to the soprano's initial "beatus vir" is like being hit by some glorious musical freight train, carrying a full load of joy and beauty.
Yes it really hits you with this performance, I suspect that's partly related to the location, this mammoth cathedral packs a real resonance punch. I've been a bit equivocal about Monteverdi's 'Selva morale e spirituale' but these ones performed like this are fabulous!
I just found out lately about Biber, thanks RUclips for randomly recommending me such divinity, outside of the usual cat videos. (still want those cat videos)
The baroque extasis, the grandeur, the splendour @54:02, @1:02:43, @1:11:33, @1:15:44, @1:18:03... Holy F*** from all these views, atleast 10% are mine alone. I come to this almost every day since it was posted...

Bewegende Aufführung! Die sehr anspruchsvollen Passagen perfekt, interessant die weitläufige Placierung der Musiker und die Akustik im Dom mit dem großen Nachhall gut im Griff. Da wäre ich gerne Zuhörer gewesen :-)
composizione unica per architettura musicale pensata per uno spazio come il Duomo di Salisburgo..fantastica. La mia "Messa" preferita insieme a quella di Bach.
Bellissima esecuzione. Questo video è forse male indicizzato e non si trova facilmente. Si spiega forse così il basso numero di visualizzazioni di una esecuzione eccezionale come questa.
Yes quite! A lot more 'early music' is now performed, but even that is rather narrow in some respects, at least in the UK where I live. There is a lot of chamber Renaissance music and 'standard fare' Baroque i.e. Bach and Handel, BUT very little earlier or wider Baroque, very little French or Italian other than a couple of over done pieces, shame! Still overall getting much better.
After Biber wrote his piece, one commentator came out with the first recorded usage in Western Culture of the phrase, "Everything but the kitchen sink."
I have so far failed to like Monteverdi. He seems to me like a musical vandal. But the Biber was perfect, for sureness of direction, for consistently well chosen tempi, for the expertise and beauty of sound created by every single performer, for the glorious music and of course for the cathedral. I have heard this mass several times, one performance that nearly worked was live, but now I have heard it in perfect clarity. I have received a very valuable present. The whole mass was so well done, but certain moments stand out, the crucifixus for four basses, following on from the Et incarnatus for high voices, the extraordinary harmonies in the Agnus at Miserere nobis, the grandeur of the trumpets, and the enrichment of the harmony as soon as they fall silent with their rigid tonic and dominant. Lovely Miriam Feuersinger sang her heart out. I think everybody gave their very best.
I agree. I cannot spend a day without coming here to listen to this mass. I wish I could've heard it live sometime. I bet it is a totally different experience. The music is written for a very large amount of musicians (for music of that period ofc), and in a cathedral as big as Salzburg's, the sound probably disperses and you cannot have the clarity of sound that we have here in this recording. How was it for you, when you heard it live? Did you sit far in the back? Or close to the musicians?
Such an extrem comment about Monteverdi! Remember he is the first baroque musician (Orfeo, 1607, Vespro Della Beata Vergine, 1610, is the bridge between 16 century and 17 century baroque music). Without Monteverdi you even couldn't hear Schütz, Schmelzer (Biber's master) and... Biber himself! The first German baroque composers learned their art direct in Italy or from italian influences. You have the right to dislike Monteverdi, question of taste, BUT consider him as a VANDAL... what a shock 😲
Them fighting words! And vandal? What nonsense. Monteverdi is the only composer I keep coming back to, over and over again, for me his music is pure perfection. Selva morale was my first true love, and it's such a thrill to hear such a wonderful rendition of it. Biber is a bonus.
@@robertvandervelde60 hahahahaha ok, sure thing. With respect, climb down off the alter and go live life. Stop strangling classical music with meaningless decorum and pedantry. Stop smothering religion with small-minded fear.
Except Biber didn't write this mass to be performed in a studio, but in precisely the space where it's being performed here. He was, after all, Kapellmeister to the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg.
@@richardcleaver5440 Yes. He wrote it for a chapel. But there were no recording studios back then. I wonder how he would have responded to hearing his piece through high quality stereo headphones.
*WOW!!!* Monetizing a sacred piece like this??? From the looks of it, you’re not making much money, anyway. I won’t be checking out anything on this channel again,that’s for sure!
THE MIGHTIEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL MASS EVER HEARD!Most honorable Biber!Great Luks!Wonderful solists,phantastic orchestra

Superb! That the world would hear and heed Biber’s final cry for ‘Peace!’
Biber, perhaps the greatest composer you've never heard of. Don't miss his violin sonatas as well.
Tout est magnifique le lieu, la musique, le chef d'orchestre et les chœurs. Je suis sans voix!
Словно окунулся в эпоху Средневековья, какая красивая музыка, старинные инструменты, необыкновенная гармония старинного лада с чудесными модуляциями.. Браво, дирижеру,солистам, хору, музыкантам и Великому Композитору Монтеверди!!!! 🎶👏🎶👍🎶👏🌌🔝🔝🔝

una esecuzione magistrale!

sublime, on s'envole vers la planète des anges ! c'est clair !
I never tire of those wonderful sounds.
one of the most impressive pieces in the history of music
Straordinaria esecuzione, grande armonia e professionalita'
Si, esattamente... Esecuzione d'altri tempi... Speriamo che questo periodaccio passi presto

Very nice! Thank you!

A magnificent performance, the angels in heaven rejoyced......
Wonderful place!! And the music is like a heaven.

Супер....
stupenda esecuzione bravissimi complimenti

Concordo pienamente... Specialmente il Gloria della Salisburgensis
Je suis en extase !
Bellissima esecuzione. Questo video è forse male indicizzato e non si trova facilmente. Si spiega forse così il basso numero di visualizzazioni di una esecuzione eccezionale come questa.
Truly superb!
It would be so nice if this were on the repertoire elsewhere, other than the perpetual top 20 hits of classical music.

Fantastické, ať se vám daří!

Monumental!

Que lugar tan grande para Monteverdi y tan chico para Biber. Muy bueno !!
Biber naissait quand Monteverdi décédait et l'un prenait le relais de l'autre
Maestosità 👍
That reverb at 1:08:30
Excelente interpretación con instrumentos originales. Lástima que el sonido se resiente por una excesiva reverberación.
This is genius!!!
Combien de chefs de chœurs adjoints pour les répétitions?
versione preferita: Escolania de Monserrat - Tolzer Knabenchor - Collegium Aureum - Ireneu Segarra.

What instrument is the one like a cello with such a lot of strings?

@@wodano0 Gracias, pero me refiero a lo que tiene muchas más cuerdas, que tiene un clavijero muy diferente...
Ab arpegio me?
Arpegione
Actually, it is a "lirone" also known as "lira da gamba"
Regardless of how good a performance it is, this production doesn't have the quality of sound you can get from a studio recording.
Thanks be for that ! ! ! !
