I'm a Purcell addict....a Certified Purcellholic.... there's no such thing as too much Henry Purcell. (Bach & Handel were 10 years old when Purcell died early like a rock star). This ensemble is representing Purcell faithfully and accurately. Nicely done.
Absolutely agree! By the way, I kindly invite you to appreciate my works - here on my TH-cam channel. I am a classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music. Kind regards!
Such beautiful music, the talent of all the artists is amazing, the balance wonderful, and the obvious joy commitment to the performance is evident, love Vox Luminis!
Agreed, Claudia! By the way, I kindly invite you to appreciate my works - here on my TH-cam channel. I am a classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music. Kind regards!

"Mention spéciale" pour all three soprano singers, "acting" very well in concert, as it could be said.The recording has a very "nice tone", what always demands a particular effort. Well done !

+William Daffer It is the end of 'In the midst of life' from Thomas Morley's Burial Service, followed at 1:07:32 with Henry Purcell's 'Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts', Z 58C.
Can't better the musical performance, expression, quality of voices, only problem is poor diction. Very difficult to know what words are being sung. Vowels are smudged. Was it Morley who said that singers should learn to vowel and sing clean!
A revelation. I have never heard Purcell played and sung like this, out of its traditional context. It reveals just how great and supra national a composer he really is. And never for a moment losing his English idiom. Brilliant.
What an amazing program. The selections, the pairings, and the order of performance are simply superb. Ensembles like Vox Luminis are the "nexgen" of early music. As we say in the US, "They are raising everybody's game." ;-)
Indeed sublime, Maria! By the way, I kindly invite you to appreciate my works - here on my TH-cam channel. I am a classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music. Kind regards!
prachtig en indrukwekkend, zowel de muziek als hoe er gezongen en gespeeld wordt!! Purcell zelf overleed in het zelfde jaar dat hij o dive custos componeerde, dat maakt het nog indrukwekkender.
Thank you. I have just discovered the Utrecht early music scene on You Tube. Unimaginable riches. But I am used to the march and the canzona both ending on bare fifths. Did you follow an inferior source? What an astonishing end to O dive custos!
Indeed, Gervais! By the way, I kindly invite you to appreciate my works - here on my TH-cam channel. I am a classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music. Kind regards!
Very very fine. It all makes me think of the prose preface to Gerard Manley Hopkins' famous poem "Henry Purcell". It goes like this: "The poet wishes well to the divine genius of Purcell and praises him that, whereas other musicians have given utterance to the moods of man’s mind, he has, beyond that, uttered in notes the very make and species of man as created both in him and in all men generally." The poem itself can easily be found online. Truly we are blessed by such music (and indeed by such poetry).
Absolutely agree, miss! By the way, I kindly invite you to appreciate my works - here on my TH-cam channel. I am a classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music. Kind regards!

Check out the music of Pelham Humphreys (Humfrey), John Blow and Matthew Locke.
Yo tambien
Me encanta Purcell. Es unico en su genero y para mi es lo maximo. Me gusta mucho " Sound the trompers"
Such beautiful music, what talented musicians, thank you so much, I love this group!

The perfectly synchronized polyphonic voices are really beautiful, and even celestial.

@@themusicofwferdinand Thanks for your kind invitation. I will visit your channel as early as I can.
And also the "Tambour Lady" is quite impressing, indeed ! What a funeral !
Dat was echt ronduit geweldig, vooral 'the Dirge Anthem' van Morley werd echt prachtig uitgevoerd.
"Mention spéciale" pour all three soprano singers, "acting" very well in concert, as it could be said.The recording has a very "nice tone", what always demands a particular effort. Well done !
That countertenor is amazing!!!!!!!
+Christiaan d'Hooghe with one? There are three... :)
@@AgnesMusicManagement Probably Daniel Elgersma :)
Magnifique ! Mais c'est toujours magnifique avec vous, Lionel Meunier et Vox Luminis. Merci pour ce concert.
A música de Henry Purcell acompanha minha vida. Ouvi-la tão bem interpretada é um prazer.
Super especially 0.48!
Magnificent ! Lutje
Magnificent!
Superb.
Wow!

Daniel Elgersma | Countertenor wonderful singers for sure. Any clue who the harpsichordist is? I really like his continuo realizations
Does anyone have the program? I'm particularly interested in the name of the song at about 1:07:00. Thanks

Si può fare ottima musica anche senza la ingombrante presenza di Christina Pluhar.
Can't better the musical performance, expression, quality of voices, only problem is poor diction. Very difficult to know what words are being sung. Vowels are smudged. Was it Morley who said that singers should learn to vowel and sing clean!
In fairness, none of them are native English speakers, so they do well given that.
Qui est la continuiste?
Anthony Romaniuk au clavecin, Haru Kitamika à l'orgue
He
These are very nice performances, but the English is poor and very difficult to hear the words they are singing.
Their English is very good.
Very nice performance, though let down by poor, woolly diction.
A revelation. I have never heard Purcell played and sung like this, out of its traditional context. It reveals just how great and supra national a composer he really is. And never for a moment losing his English idiom. Brilliant.
I've just 'searched' this by accident. The Gods of Celestial music brought me here. Beautiful indeed.
What an amazing program. The selections, the pairings, and the order of performance are simply superb. Ensembles like Vox Luminis are the "nexgen" of early music. As we say in the US, "They are raising everybody's game." ;-)
merci de "tout coeur" pour ces sublimes instants !!!!
Merci... Daniel Elgersma | Countertenor. Avec vos amis vous avez fait merveille.
Wauw, dit is subliem, indrukwekkend
Bravo Vox Luminis

Wonderful performance on all parts! Anyone know the harpsichordist by name? I am particularly fond of his continuo playing
It's me actually, Anthony Romaniuk :) Thanks for your kind words

perfectos..
Où peut-on trouver le nom des chanteurs, du claveciniste et des autres instrumentistes ?
wat stom
Music from Purcell is divinely and the ensemble vox luminis is a great performer of this amazing composer, I love it deep in my heart
