Voces8: You have such beautiful, clear voices! That's exactly how I love classical singing, clear tones, not too much vibrato, just beautiful! You are brilliant!!!
Pour moi le plus émouvant des "noëls" allemands ! Vos voix célestes me font toujours pleurer...de joie ! Un doux et très Joyeux Noël à vous tous ! ❤ Angoulême, France
One of the most beautiful arrangements of this song I have ever heard. As ever, so wonderfully sung by Voces8. A moment of calm and tranquillity to savour
Thank you VOCES8, Nick Deutsch and, of course, John Rutter. As one who always looks forward to 'new' arrangements by John Rutter and VOCES8 videos, this one exceeded my expectations on both counts. The oboe prelude and descant are achingly beautiful. I cannot imagine it being sung any better. Happy Christmas!
There is quite a distance between the old protestant chorale and John Rutter's romantic arrangement- but from my point of view the essence is beautifully maintained and perfectly brought to stage. Thank you for sharing.
a wonderful version and interpretation of this song - thank you! And may I give you all a compliment for your fantastic German, most choirs whithout native German speakers simply can't do it that good
When they sang a different version of this piece at a recent concert, I kept forgetting that they are not from Germany. Their German pronunciation sounds so authentic when they sing.
In the end, it was a fantastic musical performance with beautiful music. Mr. Carver's bass in particular produced a lovely sound during the performance, which I thoroughly enjoyed. ❤
Thank you so much for yet another gift of pure beauty - so necessary these days in this world of war torn strife and humanity's attempts to totally destroy the planet. I savour every one of your performances; again, thank you so much. Merry Yuletide and a happy New Year to you all.
Voces8 are and have been untouchable for years. It is good to have different versions of compositions presented to us for our consumption but occasionally there is no bettering of the original. This is one of those times. Compare this version to Voces8’s previously perfect recording of this. Musically this is superb but as with films, sequels are rarely as good.
I remember being so moved by Rutter's For the Beauty of the Earth when I was in middle school. The all county choir did it with piano and oboe (I was in the orchestra). I don't see that arrangement around much. Both that and this are great examples of how the oboe so easily touches something deep, perhaps a painful glimpse of a perfect world. I suppose Morricone's "The Mission" soundtrack speaks to that, too, lots of oboe there too!
What an amazing chorale-prelude! I wonder if it would work as an organ work, althoug there is so much texture in this setting that I fear not. This is gorgeous. This owes much to the ground explored by Bach.
Yes! There is so much Bach in this. I love the oboe with human voice. It gives it all such a humble and sentimentalistic note. Like it is reflecting all emotions on the go as they are felt, giving them both more distance and more pain, like being a wise observer who feels everything in the world more intensely through reminiscence of things past and the memento mori of the future. So much Bach.
there is an English version of the song from 1894, but I think it can not cover the beauty of the original German words - that is if you understand both languages. So why not let be in this very beautiful original version like they chose here, I really loved it, particularly because Voces8 sing it with rather perfect German pronunciation- they always do when they sing in German which has me in awe every single time, as most choirs that are not native Germans simply can't do it

Stunningly, heart-rendingly beautiful-- thank you John Rutter, Voces8 and Nick Deutsch.
I didn't even know this version of the song, wonderful!
...and sung so beautifully and the oboe is such a comforting sound!❤ Wow!
Vielen herzlichen Dank!!!
This arrangement is absolutely breathtaking! It reminds me of the emotional depth and beauty of Gabriel’s Oboe by Ennio Morricone.

It is just wonderful to see the magnificent renovations of Notre Dame.... continuely and splendidly depicting it's long history of faith...
Traumhaft, bravo, bravissimo! Gesegnete Weihnachten!
Lo how a Rose ere blooming…one of my favorite hymns! And John Rutter and Voces8 made it even more beautiful!
One of the most beautiful of all Christmas hymns, and a winner when performed by a major chorus (or a packed church), organ and strings! 💗
Thank you Voces8. You all enlighten the world with your beautiful voices.

Wonderful piece! Amazing control by both the oboe player and voces8! Blends perfectly! Astounding sound!

Absolutely beautiful!
Balsam für die von der Weihnachtszeit gestresste Seele ❤
A beautiful sentiment.
Une petite merveille , merci pour cette belle interprétation .
Gotta love the oboe. So sublime.
He is amazing. One of those rare people who never needs to take a breath, but just endless beautiful music...without apparently breathing!
I can see it’s an oboe but it sounds to me like a soprano sax.
Thank you very much. Very harmonious and serenic.
Спасибо ребята..порадовали..это так прекрасно..нежно..воздушно..Счастья и удачи!
Look around you. Nobody speaks Russian. Nor does anybody want to anymore.
Really... Great version, shall re-listen, thank you!
One of my favourite hymns growing up, in our English hymnal it was called "A branch so fair has blossomed" loved this, thank you 🙏
Thank you Voces8 for this beautiful music.❤
Oh so beautiful, I love you Voces8
Truly stunning!
Дуже дякую! Молодці!
Fantastic version, so melancholic and a beautiful oboe part.
Wow, super Interpretation. Passend zur Weihnachtszeit. Vielen Dank
Filled my heart with its subtle magic. Lovely arrangement, gorgeous performance! 💖

this song make me cry
Was für eine schöne Version und so einfühlsam gesungen! WOW! Ich gönne euch mal den OPUS Klassik, er ist längst überfällig. LG Joachim Pieck

Wunderschön, herzlichen Dank für das wunderschöne Arrangement. ❤
Absolutely wonderful🙏
Wunderbar - nicht zu vergessen das circular breathing
Oboe adored 🥰
So beautiful! Rutter could pull a melody from an empty gas can, I do believe.
I think you are correct.
Praetorius is far from an empty gas can!
Magnificent music & rendering. Best Wishes.
Thank you so very much. A peaceful 3rd Advent Sunday!
Wunderschön
Simply Beautiful!
Lovely....thanks for this gift! 🌲☃🌠
Please welcome this oboist amongst you and become OBOVOCES9, take him in every concert, PLEASE!
Agreed 😄
Beautiful. 👏
So beautiful 😍
Such a beatiful versión! Instrumental arrangement is sweet and very emotional!
Beautiful! Thank you very much!
Gorgeous and lovely!
So beautiful. Thank you!

Tão bom ouvir isso... tão bonito... 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much, that's made my Sunday!😊😊❤❤
This is sublime.🎉 Have a wonderful Christmas 😊
THAT OBOE, THOUGH!!!
Why is this not on Spotify for me to listen to it 24/7 wherever I am in this time of the year 😢
And the oboist is still going, and going, and going...
Bin hin und weg. Schön in deutsch gesungen, alle Achtung.
Magnifique ! merci 🩵
Prachtig !!
excellent singing & clarinet performance ,,,,,,,,,,greetings Renee
Such a beautiful song, incredible work as always. I hope to one day hear all of you perform a Z Randall Stroope piece ❤️
The oboist is back!!!
So pretty…sublime
Wonderful!
Supernal. A Merry Christmas to you all! 🕊️
WOW! But typical V8 perfection...capped off by the accompaniment of the most blissful instrument known to man.
Beautiful ❤❤
Magnificent... How about an English version?! The oboe really is a perfect complement to the 8 Voices!

Favourite carol
One of my favorites. Such a blessing to hear it done so exquisitely. Thank you and wishing you all a joyous Christmas ❣️
Brilliant!
Very nice, the singing is back on tract after resent months & everybody is well turned out, but the Oboe!
Oh yeah, that’s the oboe I’m talking about
... Beauty.
Rutter took the spirit of Michael Praetorius and Johann Sebastian Bach and fused it into a sublime beauty.
❤️❤️❤️🎄
SCHÖN
I'm unable to find the words.
Myself as well
