this is so silly 😭 i love it so much, the little things like "polite applause" had me giggling like an idiot

How wonderful! You provide the recorded times on this video for us to look up the parts. Outstanding! Thankyou..

I love it when you include at least part of the musical score...it helps me "hear" the music better. Wonderful program!

Wow, this is quite different from Whitacre's usual stuff. It's so cheesy and I love it!

1:20:12 the guitarist 🔥🔥🔥

Was für eine wunderbar gespielte Version! Voller Dynamik und elegantem Rhythmus!

"Envy" destroys me. One of the saddest and most bitter pieces of music from any sung work.

This eats so hard

I sung the choir parts in a show of this for my college choir- god this was some of the most fun I’ve had performing in a long time. The music is so good… the choir parts are hard but sooo rewarding once you get them I would give anything to perform this again I miss it so much 😭

Biggest load of crap I ever heard!!!!

So Beethoven sounding in a way…

Gosh, simply too tacky!

Dude, that was awesome! 😎

Marvelous rendition. Thank you.

WOW!!!! Brawo!!!

What recording is this? (I only know the original one from 1971.)

I must say, this is fantastic. Just love it. The soloist are just outstanding. A magnificent recording. This is to me is the best rendition I've ever heard. I thank you so much for uploading this most beautiful recording of, The Seven Deadly Sins.

This was just played at the high school

GODZILLA 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

1:10:51 very memorable passage

Spicy! Super tasty.

I love the pauses. Reeal good rendition!

I'm preparing for a performance of this, thank you so much for scanning in the score!

performed this as a part of the Children's ensemble at Lincoln center a few years back... Honestly one of the best performances of my life and I still listen to this mass to this day.

It's perfect

"Agnus Dei" reminds me so much of Magma, given that their debut album came out in 1970, but Mass possibly influenced Magma as well since the band didn't arrive to this sound until MDK (1973).

is there anyway you could upload the sondheim videos elsewhere to avoid youtube copyright?

Were you the one with all the Sondheim score videos? If so, what happened to them?

5:21 malher 5 motif

This is obviously Bernstein's version of Charles Ives' art songs. As immensely talented as Lenny was, nobody was as talented as a composer than the Yankee from Danbury, CT. Still, a good attempt at capturing the Ives spirit.

I love this piece: always so absurd and humorous, I never get tired of it

I have the '71 vinyl recording on cassette tape, this is the digital version I own and I love them both. There's a nasty French horn flub in the instrumental part of De Profundis that's not here. I think I like Alan Titus a shade better but I cast no aspersions on Jubilant Sykes. As a progrocker, this misunderstood piece means the world to me.

Thank you for posting this video. I'm sure that writing the score with transposing instruments parts being written in C might have something to do with avoiding formalism, as this is also seen in Prokofiev's scores. But is writing everything sans a key signature the norm for Khachaturian?

I was a high school junior when this opened at The Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts in Washington, DC. Our choir director sang alto in the chorus. We did alot of sight reading and listened to this for hours it seemed! Truly wonderful to hear it again!

Wonderful to have all these score on TH-cam........if only for thisyoutube is quite amazin and most of all the wonderful people who do all the wonderful score collecting and posting. Eternal thnx.

Thank you (almost) for posting this. It must've been a lot of painstaking and time-consuming work to line up the particular pieces of the score with the recording, which ended up being really cool. I purchased the score when I was around 18 or 19 years old, but through various relocations and storage throughout the past nearly 50 years, it is now gone and just a part of my past. However, I would've enjoyed this video more if you had used the original recording rather than this one. The orchestra is wonderful, as are the choruses. I haven't listened to the entire recording, so I haven't heard any of the soloists, including the boy soloist. But the singer playing the celebrant can't come close to Alan Titus. In fact, his interpretation of "Simple Song" made my ears and head hurt. He really did a truly crappy job on one of the best songs in the entire piece, which I used to perform accompanying myself in various churches in my youth. If it's any consolation, I thought that I would be thrilled to see this performed live at Carnegie Hall a number of years ago, but there again, the performers fell way short of those on the original recording. Especially the horrific celebrant. In fact, he was a tenor rather than a baritone, which is the wrong tone for his pieces. But, thanks for your hard work anyway. Great job.

thanks for posting!

Lovely. I'd forgotten how beautiful this piece is.

This was written during the period when Lenny was doing a lot of uncut blow. He'd smoke two cigarets at once. While at the Vatican for a performance of this, he tried to find some of those pederast priests to tell him about their experiences.
