A big thank you to all those who have enjoyed this. To reply to a few of the questions below : 1. it's as close as we can get to the preferred "Miserere della nostra cappella" performed by the Papal Choir from the early 18th century onwards. 2. Allegri's name was always associated with 'the Miserere', but this version is largely based, as ComposaBoi says, on Bai's (1711) - the public didn't - couldn't - know the difference. 3. The one heard nowadays was invented by and English musicologist, Rockstro in 1880, based on a (purposeful?) misunderstanding of a textless phrase noted by Mendelssohn in 1831. It's all explained in my book - 'Allegri's Miserere' in the Sistine Chapel, just published in UK by Boydell (available here : www.prestomusic.com/books/products/8658301--allegris-miserere-in-the-sistine-chapel) 4. The score alone of what is sung can also be bought from www.shorterhouse.com/v1/ . 5. The soprano is Catherine Greuillet.
In their defence, the Oxbridge choirs are made up of undergraduates and children - as opposed to professional singers - bit of an unfair comparison really.
Great music, I would like to ask is it allowed to share and maybe use some of parts of his music in a video? Does this music owns a copyright? I really love it. Waiting for your answer,.Sandra
He only wrote one. This is a highly ornamented version of the original th-cam.com/video/xcOZ-yXH6iI/w-d-xo.html the one that you are probably familiar with is Burney's version, with the high c, which was an accident and nowhere near the original.
In fact, most of "Allegri's Miserere" recordings are not of the original 1638 version, but of XX Cent. invention, see th-cam.com/video/j9y5N13un9s/w-d-xo.html
however, this has a lot to do with the original, Tommaso lived around the same time as allegri and was in fact the conducter at the vatican. Therefor, this is the closest we have to the way it sounded during allegri's time because the performers would have ornamented and embellished the piece.
@@composaboi actually, it's closer to how it was performed around 150 years post Allegri's death. th-cam.com/video/3Wzyagv3uc8/w-d-xo.html is closer to what was performed in Allegri's time.

Thank you. I was just transported back in time………
A stunning ensemble and soprano! Thank you for posting this version.
Si vous écoutez bien, vous entendrez des oiseaux dans les silences... de loin et à mon goût, la meilleure interprétation du temps présent.
I think they heard the soprano and had to join in :)
Joël Chatain - écrivain - l'homme qui marche, normal que tu entendes des oiseaux c est l ensemble "byrd". 😁
This is amazing. Can imagine this being sung in service. The common version is much more performance oriented.
This is by far the best recording of this legendary work.
2,071 view... very disappointing. The Oxbridge choirs just aren't up to scratch.
I agree, totally

Belíssimo!
Meu Deus, como é lindo...
Carrément incomplet!!!! Beau travail mais il manque tant de choses...
Lindíssimo!

You can certainly share it with friends. To use it in a video, best to PM me.
Thank you,I will use it for religios video.😊
So, how many “Misereres” did Allegri compose?
I’ve never heard this one before. It’s not the one I expected ...

OK, this piece is an invention it has nothing to do with the original 1638 version of Allegri's "Miserere" kept in the Sistine Chappel books at BAV
In fact, most of "Allegri's Miserere" recordings are not of the original 1638 version, but of XX Cent. invention, see th-cam.com/video/j9y5N13un9s/w-d-xo.html
This is indeed not the original version. This version was written by Tommaso Bai.
however, this has a lot to do with the original, Tommaso lived around the same time as allegri and was in fact the conducter at the vatican. Therefor, this is the closest we have to the way it sounded during allegri's time because the performers would have ornamented and embellished the piece.

@@pestoriusj Thank you for linking the recording, that is indeed probably what it might have sounded back in Allegri's time.
