Are either of you on spotify??
Beautiful! Please put out a CD! Also, you might listen to Julian Bream and Peter Pear's album "Elizabethan Lute Songs" (One of my favorite albums)
You guys absolutely MUST make an album with these songs!
It really would make for amazing background/dinner music!
@@ChuckOso4483 For me personally, this could never be background music. It captures 100% of my attention and doesn't let go
Yes!
Hell yeah🤓
Please!
I used to sing as a first tenor semi professionally.
Seeing this man sing had me quit cigarettes and put my voice first.
Thank you. The words I have otherwise to give thanks will be music.
You both make baroque music accessible for a big(ger) audience. There is between the both of you a great chemistry. Fine how everything comes together in these clips: the timeless value and depth of Henry Purcell's compositions, the singer who's soul and voice were meant to shine and reflect these timeless pearls and the playing on the theorbe which is authentic genuine, refined and deeply felt.
Well said!
@Inner World Music Guitar,
You've described exactly the quality that brings me back to these recordings, and wanting to hear much more!! Thrilling!
They connect with the myth in Baroque music with these performances and the sense of myth in Purcell's music.
This format with the theorbo and singing makes it so personal too, however.
It makes me think of how epic poetry would be recited with an instrument and a poet or singer. This is like that. But the music is also beautiful.
It's like a moment of Paradise.
My sentiments exactly. Their music always uplifts, no matter the topic❤.
Check out "Dream Faces" and "Music for awhile" . Mesmerizing!
I wish he would also make a lute course with the same quality as his guitar ones. I would pay so much money for that.
These Purcell + Acker + Mobley videos are astounding!!
He opens his mouth and the soul comes out to wrap itself around words and I get to listen in awe. My man cheats, he goes directly for the spine bypassing the whole cerebral thing that is supposed to be part of the listening transaction and it's great. Oh and Brandon you did well too lol. Thank you for brightening up the perpetually dark winter Sunday here in Sweden.
Peace, stay safe and take care everyone
So well put!
Brandon Acker, Theorbo, Reginald Mobley, countertenor - a sublime match made in heaven. Music to soothe and divert a troubled heart.
The two pieces by Purcell you and Mr. Mobley have performed here are beyond words. Pure and utterly beautiful in the most absolute meaning of th word. Thank you
If youtube allowed us to applaud, I would do so emphatically. I hope we will get more of these cooperation with Mr. Mobley, he's unique in his style and delivery.
This is some of the most metal baroque music I’ve heard.
I was going to say the same thing!
this is interesting to note because metal and baroque actually share a ton more than youd probably assume!
@@fewwis48 I can hear it
You want Baroque metal?

I might suggest Jean Rondeau recording of "Vertigo" by Royer, on the harpsichord, here on TH-cam. I headbang to that.
Wow this guy is crazy talented. I've heard some counter tenors before, but this guy just articulates so well, and he has amazing tone and pitch. Not to mention the musicality! The theorbo compliments his voice so well too! Awesome recording Brandon and Reginald!
(complements with an /e/... but only if you want to know. Not complaining... and please: no complaints.)
Awesome voice!
Wow, indeed!!!!
Jesus Christ the sovereign God loved you my friends :" )
Mr. Mobley's voice is stunning, his built-in autotune is top notch
Holy Moses! That was immaculate! 👏👏👏
Oh hai my favourite youtube puppeteer - fancy seeing you here.
I now know the meaning behind "Something so beautiful, that all I could do was weep"
Need a full baroque album of you two 😍😍
When the stars align…wonderful song, stunning vocal and the forceful but subtle playing by Mr. Acker. Sublime!
Just magnificent - both of you!
We are fortunate that the internet allows wonderful music like this to be shared.
He plays like an angel. He sings like an angel. Hey Heaven, stop sending these awesome people to Earth; we really don't deserve to be this pampered 😭
Not to downplay anything pop-music, there is no accounting for taste. But Reginald's voice is something so absolutely unique, not just in its texture but also in his absolute control. This video should tens of millions of views. I haven't heard something that mindblowing for years. If anyone has recommendations for other such works, I'm all eyes and ears!
It's so nice seeing a fellow counter-tenor showcasing how beautiful and rich the voicetype is. What an incredible performance from both of you!
Henry Purcell really knew how to write for the countertenor. Even the alto parts in his choral music are fantastic.
Seeing the thumbnail I did NOT expect the register being so high. What a voice!
I know very little about music in general and even less about singing, but Reggie Mobley has to be the best vocalist I've ever heard. I can't imagine how many hours (or years) of practice went into his ability to maintain a tone as precisely as a machine one moment and then create a ton of depth and/or perfectly executed vocal ornaments the next.
This is unreal. I cant help but wonder what kings and queens would have ate dinner being serenaded with this exact combination. Do go on!
What a beautiful playing and singing
I don't know how many times I listened to this. I can't have enough of it, and this musical gem is so short. My goodness this is beautiful!
Here the deities definitely approve. Wonderful work as always, thank you for this! ♡
what chads. i LOVE the guy’s voice, and the playing was impeccable of course!
Another beautiful voice complimented perfectly by the therobo. Thank you for these videos recently, they really do an excellent job of showing the role of the instrument. The voice and the instrument reach above where neither could alone. It's magic!
Your duet is perfect, the voice and the instrument compliment each other so well, and both have this tonal quality which takes you into another world. Also Reginald's diction is superb, it allows truely enjoying the poetry. Please treat us again in the future,if possible.
Longer hair is a great look on you Brandon! Another amazing video!
I'm surprised by how the playing on the theorbo could easily fit in a 2000s Nu Metal or Alt Rock song. Some parts of music never change
For some reason this really pushes my anxiety levels down quite noticeably
Thank you for sharing an amazing voice, a rare instrument, and an ancient masterpiece with us! If it wasn't for you and this channel, I would never have heard this piece! And I would have missed out on a treat. This is my 3rd replay...
All I can say is....WOW!
This tune actually made me cry. This is such a beautiful duo. I also wrote a chapter for a fantasy story while hearing this
I just got off work and this really lifted my spirits. The perfect piece to drive home to thank you!
The deities have just called . They approve, indeed.
I really can't get enough of this channel. Bravo Brandon!
That countertenor is perfection, along with the heavenly guitar
Isn’t it amazing when people exceed your expectations?! Even after watching the last video you made together with awe I was still blown away! Thanks Brandon for bringing other talented musicians to my awareness 👏❤
Despite the high pitch and the ornamentation, I can understand every word. Absolutely marvelous. 👍🏻
OK, I expected anything but this voice from this guy.
Ok, I'm going to need you to interview Reginald and talk about how you met and how he manages to sing so beautifully in such an uncommon way. Please? Fascinating register.
La voz de Mobley es absolutamente hipnotizadora, tiene un registro de contratenor clásico, tipo James Bowman, con extremos bien definidos y una voz media perfecta. Y Acker engalana y dibuja todo lo que toca. Pedazo de video para ver 100 veces.
contra-Barry White
the most pure Purcell performance I have ever heard, waiting for more recordings!
This man is blessed
Dropping those low notes on theorbo goes _so hard._
Was not expecting that voice at all
That was not the voice I expected. Beautiful.
This is Great Brandon! I love Reggie Mobley and seen him live around three times. Some of my favourite concerts, repertoire and his voice is just beautiful. Great theorbo playing too!
Thanks! Yes, he is the best.
I became so captivated by this performance that I had to remind myself to breathe.
Agreed with everyone else here. If you two released an album that’d be something I’d listen on a loop.
Started listening to classical because of this channel :)
That's wonderful to hear!
How have I not heard of Mobley. What a voice.
His range is just so insane
Brandon wie gehts? Its been a while since I posted so I thought it was time. Any video with the theorbo is always fun for me; I also love historical stringed instruments. As always your playing is spot and the ability to split super lows with bright highs is always a pleasing dichotomy. I have a request for you though as a lover of old tyme stringed things too. Do you think you could do a video on the ancient Egyptian 'long neck lutes'? Not the shorter neck 'oud' like varieties but the long neck versions found in ancient temples. Maybe something you're interested in maybe not but I would love to see one being played today and an excuse to buy something else for your collection! Merry early Christmas dude!
This countertenor is soooo legit and period accurate. Love baroque music so much!!!
After that last video I will click so quickly on any video I see this man singing in. Absolutely amazing .
Those bass notes are otherworldly
Beautiful! The lute accompaniment reminds me of 60s folk music.
The combo of the basses and the high voice … 🧨
The title isn't messing around, these are fantastic ornaments!
Wow that dude can sing. Beautiful voice. Your playing and that instrument are so awesome. Very good stuff.
I have watched this countless times and I think about it all the time. You are both phenomenal! I'd pay good money for an album of collaborations between you two.
I'm happy to hear that! We'd both love to do a CD so fingers crossed
I just want to say... these are some of the first times I've ever actually been able to make out the lyrics of operatic songs. Something about typical soprano vocals that just turns it all into pure melody and I lose the meaning outside of a few focus words. I think that's my fault not the singers. But this stuff you guys are doing, it's intensely good. Thank you both.
I can’t get enough of you two and Purcell. Mesmerizing, magical and magnificent.
Mr. Mobley is fantastic as is the accompanist ❤️❤️ !
Yes!!! You must record these songs!!! Such a perfect voice and articulation of these songs. The first time I heard this I went to Amazon looking for the CD and found nothing!!!!
Here I approve. It pleases me
This is one of my favorite songs and renditions. So good! It makes me happy every time!
More Mobley! Yesssss!!! Crossing my fingers this isn't the last collab video you two produced...
also the ornament at 0:43 literally made my jaw drop
Those crunchy base notes on the theorbo contrasting with Reginald's silky glissandos is exquisite. I first became aware ofs this song via Michael Nyman's Draughtsman's Contract, and it's such a pleasure have a version of the original that's faithful and yet contemporary at the same time. I can't stop playing it. Beautiful. Thank you.
1:13 goosebumps
Incredible voice. Absolutely amazing performance. Both of you are great!
Didn't see that coming. Man has the voice of an angel.
Just saw him perform Messiah this week and he killed it!
Wow! That voice - what a surprise! A wonderful combination of singing and playing.
That was amazing. I've heard a lot of countertenors, but the purity of his sound is one of the best I've ever heard. He's up there with David Hurley in my opinion.
After i discovered this magical duo in "music for a while" , a similar gem of Purcell, i cannot divert myself from this marvellous channel. Thank you youtbe for letting everybody discover such gems.
I was supposed to have left over an hour ago to go run my errands, but here I am still sitting here listening to Reginald Mobley. God damn, this guy is sending me into all kinds of ecstasies!
WOW! Capital W-O-W with exclamation mark.
Wow!
Purcell got there before Deep Purple did.
Blessed from above .
Thank you for all of your dedication and hard work
I heard (and heard again and again and again...)
Thank you two, to present us with such magnificent interpretation.
In time - Inspiration, is the name if this wonderful voice. ❤
That voice coming from a man is so unexpected, but wow it's beautiful.
Really a great credit to Brandon Acker to let Reginald Mobley SHINE. So unselfish. All in the service of Music!!!!!
Wow! And countertenors usually freak me out. You are so authentic in your phrasing and your timbre has a bit of smoke behind it. That makes all the difference

Wow that's simply incredible. thank you for sharing.
His voice is otherworldly! I heard him for the first time last night and can't get enough. I've been playing him in my office all day.....he really brings Purcell 9one of my favorites) alive.
How I love the growl-twang of the theorbo!
Please please PLEASE release an album with this exact setup
WOW! Awesome performance. What a fantastic voice!
Had to come back and relisten to the leap around 1:54 again and again -- truly stunning navigation there!
This is something else man... Please make more of these type. I've already listened like ten times.
Purcell's music is just incredible. I can acknowledge the genius of the main composers of his era, but his music just grabs my ears and my heart.
'VOCAL ORNAMENTS like you've never heard before!'
it's really great experience for full watching your video.. thanks for share this video.. wish always success.. have a good day.. 💯👍
What a perfect pairing the two of you are. Your renditions of these Purcell pieces leave me with feelings it would take an eternity to type.
Oh wauw, i have no words 👏
I keep coming back to this performance, it really struck a chord in me, I can't stop thinking about it wanting to listen again and again!
Reggie is the best, and a total sweet heart. You're pretty darn good too! Shame we didn't cross paths while I was still living in Chicago. But who knows where life will take us. All the best from Berlin!
