iniquitatem meam, et peccatum meum scruteris? [after my iniquity, and search after my sin?]

Lo más cerca que podemos estar del cielo en esta tierra . Que interpretación más perfecta. Muchas gracias
Thanks for uploading of this magnificent recording! How many times I heard this CD when I was young.!! The Westminster Cathedral Choir under David Hill left behind so many wonderful CDs. The best Requiem in the occidental music history for me. Much closer to the heaven than that of Mozart or Verdi!
This is the greatest ever recording of this piece.. Just magnificent !!!! The Kyrie that starts at 18.36 is heartbreakingly beautiful
I agree. When I was just 19 and, by the first time, listen to the of this masterpiece it was like an ecstasy for me. Since then no other record has the same quality of this one for me.
@@guilhermelima2843 The same!
This recording of 1987 was one of my first CDs. It is the best recording of that masterpiece by far. (I heard them all) Listening to this recording makes you feel attending the actual service for Dowager Empress Maria. Slow tempi, perfect sung psalm in the Matins (with big cathedral feeling). Well, and Versa est luctum is my favorite! I always wanted to sing the whole thing myself since these times. I will do it for the first time in 2022. I’m shivering.... ;)
I totally agree with you 👍 tempo and "affetti" are so good
By far one of the best recordings of this great masterpiece 🙏❤️🎶
Obra maestra y última de Victoria del año 1605.Gracias por el aporte.
Las voces de los niños es insuperable
The finest recording ever made of this Spanish masterpiece. It dates from 1987 on the Hyperion Records Limited label (digital). I was broadcasting this complete mass recording on the air in California during the early 1990's. My favorite excerpt: 11:42 "Taedet animam meam vitea meae"

I adore this composer 💕
that is the greatest gift of Catholicism, its music and art
Permíteme corregirte, el más grande propósito del catolicismo es llevar almas al cielo. Un saludo.
bring heaven on earth is the (too idealistic) purpose, not to bring earth to heaven or to bring people to nothingness, a heaven outside that does not exist.
@@user-hf8nb9mb4e El cielo existe, el infierno también. En el caso del cielo, prueba de ello es que a través de esta música percibes una reminiscencia de el.
Amazing
I absolutely love this channel. Not only do you provide such beautiful sacred music, but you also provide the Latin and English in full. Thanks so much for your hard work.
(On the note of the Latin, by the way, are you translating it yourself or using a translation that’s readily available? I ask only because I’ve noticed the translations sometimes miss phrases and crossover lines. For example, under Lectio II: “Nolī mē condemnāre” means “Be unwilling for me to be condemned”, or “Do not let sentence be passed on me” (etc.) - but this is missing in the translated parentheses.
Forgive me if you know this already. I much appreciate your work.
I am using the translation of the CD brochure. I don't know Latin (although Portuguese is a neo-Latin language, the similarity is not so great that it allows me to understand anything in Latin). By the way, I don't know English either ... Before I took the trouble to check if each translated line corresponded perfectly to the original text, but it was very laborious, especially considering the ignorance of the two languages.
@@pedrohenriqueprata You don’t know English either..?! That’s very impressive; you can’t tell. :)
As I say, as for the Latin, it’s no big deal - if I see any other bits without a translation in the future, I’ll leave a comment just in case it’s helpful. I’m just massively grateful for your channel! Thanks again for the hard work.
“Iterum prō durā labōrā tuō grātias agō - in tuō debitō sum!” (Thanks again for your hard work - I am in your debt!)
@@lectorintellegat Thanks for the encouragement and kind words.
@@pedrohenriqueprata I'd be happy to help you with checking that for you if you find it laborious!
