I recorded this ! I have shared it many times as an example of amazing ensemble singing of an amazing musical work of art ! Kudos Conspirare! This a live recording of a live performance!
Andy we are grateful for all the moments you captured!
Everything is outstanding in this performance. In addition to the beautiful basso profondo, the most beautiful soprano also stands out.
Now the other performances of this masterpiece seem flat and faded.
Thank You Conspirare. Thank You Texas. From Russia with big respect.
glad you found us and thank you for your kind words.
So grateful for the beauty of this music in these troubled times. Thank you Craig and Conspirare.... ❤️🎶❤️
Hi Laura. I agree and am grateful for Conspirare.
HEAVENLY! I feel like being resurrected ----- like Christ. A good meditation prayer.
Craig Hella Johnson expresses every note, feels every emotion, and shows it. He lives the music.
Stunning~
Craig Hella Johnson, you are the best arranger/conductor ever, and your singers are amazing!
Agreed that this is a stunning performance, both emotionally and technically. It is not a coincidence that they sing from memory, and so have the maximum connection to each other, the conductor, and the music. I wait eagerly for their next visit to England! There are few English choirs as good, and that is saying something!
Many thanks - just excellent. ER
This is incredible... I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to have Craig work on his piece We Are at MMEA All-State men's choir this year (and a surprise visit from poet Michael Dennis Browne)!
That being said, I've always enjoyed a slower and softer setting to this piece... The beginning is too strong for me, like one is shouting instead of pleading "Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us."
OMG! That's the best performance I've ever heard! Bravo!
La plus belle version entendue de ma vie et je ne suis pas jeune... et toujours aussi passionné de musique. BRAVO !
Mensch!! Was für ein Wunder!
This is a really beautiful singing of a very difficult work.
The sounds is clear and transparent,every individual voice can be heard,but they meld together into one harmonious whole.
I think this is due to the fact that there are not (as in too many versions) a large number of singers,the balance here is just right.
Congratulations from an Ex(Chapel Royal Hamton Court) chorister(now sadly 64!)LOL
its an experience to sing with this group!
what a lovely rich quality to the sound esp. the tenors
I agree! They have a beautiful tone. They sound trained.
Incredible! Brought me to tears . . . .
Breathtaking!
It is incredible!
WOW fabulous choir! Kudos to the bass section! :D This is fantastic! Best version of Agnus Dei I have heard by far! :D
Glenn Miller, loud and clear.
What I'd give to see them perform live. I bet they sound even better in person!
yes, powerful bass.
remarkably beautiful music making
Bravo, bass section!
Thats powerful!
Hermoso :D
I'm crying, crying... Oh, Jesus!
Love the moment @ 2:57ish
Glenn Miller!!
I love their pop arrangements, but this for me is very "shouty" and over-sung in the loud passages. Doesn't have the same vocal quality of Polyphony, Tenebrae, The Sixteen etc.....
stated perfectly
I'm pretty sure the conductor isn't the hunchback of notre dame like hun I know the piece is dramatic but be a human for 2 seconds
