I love hearing Barney's voice in a solo or duet! Barney has the perfect English countertenor sound in the tradition of James Bowman and Michael Chance!
This entire LFL festival has been spectacular, and this number is a particular highlight. I've found myself planning my weekends around the livestream times, rather than watching on-demand later. Fortunately, the time difference (I'm in the Pacific time zone, in Washington state) works for me, rather than against. Nothing wrong with a little early lunch, accompanied by wonderful music!
I would say “one” of the secrets. There are a number of extraordinary singers in the group, which altogether creates magic and choral music of the highest order.
I agree. I believe the best sounding choirs have a mix of male and female altos that blend as a section. Having male and female voices in the middle parts helps the blend of the whole choir. Barney and Katie do that amazingly well.
Here are the lyrics in Italian. Cleopatra Caro! Cesare Bella! Duetto Cleopatra e Cesare Più amabile beltà mai non si troverà del tuo bel volto. In te/In me non splenderà né amor né fedeltà da te/da me disciolto. Cesare Goda pur or l'Egitto in più tranquillo stato la prima libertà. Cesare brama, dall'uno all'altro polo ch'il gran nome roman spanda la fama. Seguito Ritorni omai nel nostro core la bella gioia ed il piacer; sgombrato è il sen d'ogni dolor, ciascun ritorni ora a goder. Cleopatra e Cesare Un bel contento il sen già si prepara, se tu sarai costante ognor per me; così sortì dal cor la doglia amara, e sol vi resta amor, costanze e fè. Seguito Ritorni ormai nel nostro core la bella gioia ed il piacer; sgombrato è il sen d'ogni dolore, ciascun ritorni ora a goder.

Barney's voice is the secret of the unique Voces8-sound.
I've been listening here for a couple of years, and only in this video do I appreciate Barney's utterly gorgeous countertenor.
@@bhami Yes. He has a beautiful voice. I appreciate it best when he does solo and duet work.
Barney's voice is wonderful, but unique Voces 8 sound is about the ability to emit the sound like one...and work, work, and work.

Cesare
Bella!
Duetto
Cleopatra e Cesare
Più amabile beltà
mai non si troverà
del tuo bel volto.
In te/In me non splenderà né amor né fedeltà
da te/da me disciolto.
Cesare
Goda pur or l'Egitto
in più tranquillo stato
la prima libertà. Cesare brama, dall'uno all'altro polo
ch'il gran nome roman spanda la fama.

Ritorni omai nel nostro core la bella gioia ed il piacer;
sgombrato è il sen d'ogni dolor, ciascun ritorni ora a goder.

Thanks a lot!
Thank you!
Thanks!🙌🏻
Great job everyone! Nothing against the soprano, but I wonder how it might sound if Andrea had sung it..?
What’s that big guitar like instrument? Next to the harpsichord ?
theorbo!
A theorbo is basically a lute with an extra long neck that allows for long strings to play low bass notes.
Mary looks, sings and is HOT !!
Could somebody tell me the official name of Guitarasaurus-Rex?
