    Imagine this song back in the day. People with no way to record music and only hearing this after travelling many miles just to hear this. They must have revered these singers as just short of angels. Truly magnificent!

      Mozart transcribed Miserere Mei, Deus by memory after only hearing it twice. He then sent his manuscript to an English publisher. At the time, private ownership of that piece was banned by the church. His publication forced the church to lift the ban.
      Imagine that, though. Only hearing the piece twice, and being able to jot it down perfectly.

      A better word: they are gifted by God with vocal perfection, just as Bruckner was gifted by God to compose. Gifts of all kinds, some used, some ignored, some using their gifts yet never thanking God.
      It is always wonderful to hear the results of these gifts come together in works of art.

    In 1982, my university choir stood in the spot at St. Florian where Bruckner first directed his choir in this work. We then went into the catacombs below the monastery and stood around Bruckner's casket, with all the skulls of priests lining the wall and sang it again. I cried as I listened to this for the first time. Blessings to you all.

Wish I knew who the man with the booming voice is. He has red? hair and very dark eyes. He has sung with Tenebrae before in _Miserere Mi, Deus._ (I think I got the title right haha).

    Absolute perfection. Such beauty from what I think is the best choir I've ever heard. After many years of trying I finally managed to see Tenebrae perform live in Sion last weekend. It was a dream come true, and far exceeded every expectation I could have had. Swiss audiences are knowledgeable but very self-contained. They rarely get swept away, however good the performance, but at the end there wasn't a person still seated and I wasn't the only person using a handkerchief to dry my eyes. What an experience. Thank you so much, Tenebrae and Nigel Short.

    That was glorious.You don't have to understand a word in order to feel a lovely sense of peace,to just quietly revel in the sound of those beautiful voices.I'm glad that Tenebrae was able to come together and perform while maintaining social distancing.It really is a balm to the soul to hear something like this during such troubled times.

    Having spent twenty minutes viewing postings from the USA - all of them bearing witness to the sheer lunacy of the views upheld by a significant proportion of the populace; and having, thereby, become increasingly depressed with the state of mankind, I have accidentally landed on this performance of sheer beauty and perfection; a flickering candle of hope in a mad world which seems to have lost its bearings. Where all that is brash threatens to annihilate the delicate, the fragile and the supremely beautiful. I thank you for this, and all your postings on ‘utube’; which, one might tentatively hope, will bring about a wider appreciation of this genre, and in so doing, enrich the lives of those who are fortunate enough to make the discovery. Long may you prosper in your noble work.
