Much gratitude for this performance. I've seen this performed live and outdoors at Ojai with Pierre Boulez conducting. I can tell you that the birds in the trees were competing with the music and they sometimes won. Nature responds to this music!!!
Ash Bell Cool!!! That little naive melody 2/3 through Bartok's Fifth is scary cool!!! I will counter that I sat next to an original chorus member of Stravinsky's "La Noche" in an outdoor production conducted by Boulez at Ojai of that choral number. Half way through she leaned over and told me that the original chorus agreed one and all that "La Noche" was an argument for celibacy. I think you should know that you have excellent taste, Mr. Ash. I should enjoy exchanging stories with you, I'm sure.
This is great. I always wondered how it was done. You never get the impression there is a rhythm because there are no instruments or percussions, but there IS. Thank you Taipei chamber singers! :)
I'm going to create a piece one day and call it Coughing and during that piece an orchestra will interrupt it from time to time. I've tried about 4 different live versions of this and a coughless version doesn't seem to exist. Petty, small of me? Sure, but those coughing jags through me right out of the piece.
very very EXQUISITE and BREATHTAKING. This is really the whole package- the choir is lined up well, the lighting is good, the atmosphere is dramatic. But too bad the audience clapped too early and didn't give enough room for the sound to resolve. This piece should end quietly as the sound fades away silently, which is in sync with the lighting. Audience, the light fades for a reason!
A fine performance, although you can hear the singers finding it difficult to hold pitch and fade in and out with enough smoothness. Says more about the piece itself than the choir, in any case. And the clapping was too early. lol

So beautiful. One of my favorite pieces. The performance is great since this piece is very hard to perform the micropolyphony.
It's an absolutely sublime composition, and one that must be tremendously challenging for even the best choirs. Wonderful performance.
I feel like I'm being swallowed by the vastness of the universe. Wonderful. Love it.
This performance brought out something in this piece I haven’t heard in any other performances of the same exact piece.
Lux Aoturna (Light Eternal). I had the privilege of singing this at unit (York) in 1981 and it has haunted me ever since,

On the Ojai/nature comment:
Try the "Ending, Dances With Wolves."
I think it's calculated, the wolf's soloist.
This is great. I always wondered how it was done. You never get the impression there is a rhythm because there are no instruments or percussions, but there IS.
Thank you Taipei chamber singers! :)
Stunning
magnific piece of music, great vocal work. congratulations and greetings from mexico city.
Interesting. Perhaps these are the sound frequencies that open dimensional portals
That’s an encouraging notion. Thank you for suggesting it. 🖖🏻
This is how the music of the spheres sound. Fabulous. Congratulations to the author and to the performers.
Wow! What a fantastic performance of this rather difficult piece! Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this.
beautiful - absolutely sublime
interprétation exceptionnelle. je suis renversé!!! majestueux... rien à dire...
Breathtaking is the word.
loved it! both György's Lux, both the beautiful singers ;*
Beautiful rendition !
Thanks
I can't help but visualise this in Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey when I hear it. A very haunting piece.
This is a difficult piece! Well done!
@marklingard9 And it's usually difficult for an Asian choir to create such a spiritual atmosphere due to the way of pronunciation. Salute on that!
Fantastic . obrigado
Awesome!

I think your piece called Coughing would be a great Success
Hahahaha! great comment!!! OFRL (on the floor, rolling in laughter). You are so right!
That´s why Glenn Gould stopped performing in public and only focused on producing records. He couldn´t take it anymore either.

Oh, relax. Should be glad it's not worse.
@afertyu It's true! Ligeti wrote the piece with 8 bars of silence at the end, precisely expecting that the sound would resolve well!

Ligeti, é um cara foda do século XX !!!
meraviglioso
@scottgilesmusic So true.... They really worked extra hard on this one.

I wonder if you need perfect pitch for this piece.....
this is what hell is going to sound like
Hell? Dread to think what's going on in your mind. This is beautiful!
+Steven H it's a masterpiece without doubt. But also scarry for me😨
I don't hear hell in this at all. I just hear cosmic mystery.
That is exatly what I hear too! Cosmic mystery!

E' certamente interessante,ma onestamente a livello emotivo o emozionale non ha un grosso impatto.......
came here for Requiem for a Dream. Was disappointed. Closed video.
