Wunderschöne und detaillierte Interpretation dieser fein oder perfekt komponierten Vokalwerke mit durchsichtigen und perfekt harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors sowie zurückgehaltenen und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der Orgel. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet alles im relativ langsamen Tempo und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Alles ist wundervoll!

This is truly an astonishingly good recording. Cleobury and choir at their best. (Soloist Guy Johnston went on to become a renowned cellist, incidentally.)
Oh, Lord, where are you? Do not ask (ignorant and stupid) us what we can do for You. Ask (or just show) us what You can do for us. Thank you, however, for inspiring us to sing like this.
1:50 TAVENER: FUNERAL IKOS Why these bitter words of the dying, o brethren, Which they utter as they go hence? I am parted from my brethren. All my friends do i abandon and go hence. But whither i go, that understand i not, Neither what shall become of me yonder; Only God who hath summoned me knoweth. But make commemoration of me with the song: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! But whither now go the souls? How dwell they now together there? This mystery have i desired to learn; but none can impart aright. Do they call to mind their own people, as we do them? Or have they forgotten all those who mourn them and make the song: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! We go forth on the path eternal, and as condemned, With downcast faces, present ourselves before the only God eternal. Where then is comeliness? Where then is wealth? Where then is the glory of this world? There shall none of these things aid us, but only to say oft the psalm: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! If thou hast shown mercy unto man, o man, That same mercy shall be shown thee there; And if on an orphan thou hast shown compassion, The same shall there deliver thee from want. If in this life the naked thou hast clothed, The same shall give thee shelter there, and sing the psalm: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Youth and the beauty of the body fade at the hour of death, And the tongue then burneth fiercely, and the parched throat is inflamed. The beauty of the eyes is quenched then, the comeliness of the face all altered, The shapeliness of the neck destroyed; and the other parts have become numb, Nor often say: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! With ecstasy are we inflamed if we but hear that there is light eternal yonder; That there is Paradise, wherein every soul of Righteous Ones rejoiceth. Let us all, also, enter into Christ, that we may cry aloud thus unto God: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Si en el Paraíso Celestial hubieran voces, creo que serían éstas, sin lugar a dudas... cuánta placidez y qué interpretación tan hermosa.
God bless thanks for the music :)
Thank you.

1:50 TAVENER: FUNERAL IKOS
Why these bitter words of the dying, o brethren,
Which they utter as they go hence?
I am parted from my brethren.
All my friends do i abandon and go hence.
But whither i go, that understand i not,
Neither what shall become of me yonder;
Only God who hath summoned me knoweth.
But make commemoration of me with the song:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
But whither now go the souls?
How dwell they now together there?
This mystery have i desired to learn; but none can impart aright.
Do they call to mind their own people, as we do them?
Or have they forgotten all those who mourn them and make the song:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
We go forth on the path eternal, and as condemned,
With downcast faces, present ourselves before the only God eternal.
Where then is comeliness? Where then is wealth?
Where then is the glory of this world?
There shall none of these things aid us, but only to say oft the psalm:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
If thou hast shown mercy unto man, o man,
That same mercy shall be shown thee there;
And if on an orphan thou hast shown compassion,
The same shall there deliver thee from want.
If in this life the naked thou hast clothed,
The same shall give thee shelter there, and sing the psalm:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Youth and the beauty of the body fade at the hour of death,
And the tongue then burneth fiercely, and the parched throat is inflamed.
The beauty of the eyes is quenched then, the comeliness of the face all altered,
The shapeliness of the neck destroyed; and the other parts have become numb,
Nor often say: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
With ecstasy are we inflamed if we but hear that there is light eternal yonder;
That there is Paradise, wherein every soul of Righteous Ones rejoiceth.
Let us all, also, enter into Christ, that we may cry aloud thus unto God:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
