exactly!!! we failed embarrassingly with this one, especially the basses... this ensemble makes it seem so smooth and easy and it is super difficult. but when sung like this an amazing piece!
The most convincing and beautiful interpretation I’ve found so far. And I just love how clearly the basses are presented and articulated and build a rock solid foundation to these tricky harmonies. Very, very good how they master the chromatics and keep the intonation throughout AND are vocally just gorgeous. All other voices are brilliant, too - of course!, but their lines are so much easier than that of the basses. Well done, gents!!
Merveilleux! Je suis ému peut etre par l age, mais de voir ces jeunes accomplire cela, dans l'esprit de cette oeuvre religieuse.... je vous aimes! Gloire à Dieu"
Una versión insuperable de esta magnífica obra de Messiaen. La he cantado les aseguro que hacerlo con esta perfección es muy difícil. Me emocionó escucharlos.
Original Latin (punctuation from Liber Usualis) O sacrum convivium! in quo Christus sumitur: recolitur memoria passionis eius: mens impletur gratia: et futurae gloriae nobis pignus datur. Alleluia. Translation of original Latin O sacred banquet! in which Christ is received, the memory of his Passion is renewed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory to us is given. Alleluia.
Muy buena interpretación de esta joya de la música coral. Lástima no haber batido la corchea un poco más lenta. Que hermosura de música, se me saltan las lágrimas...
I kind of like Romano's rendition here with the Ensemble Aedes better than the John Rutgers recording. The build-up is more intense, and the soprano's shine thru on this one.
my favorite choral work of all time
This is one of the most beautiful amazing thing I have ever heard from the human race.
Totally stunning. Way to stay in tune - it's not easy on this piece!

wwoooaahh - headphones awesome recording
Very well done. Wonderful blend of voices. Dissonances are handled very well. Kudos to the director.
It is a joy to commune with Christ.

...makes one wonder if the conductor was a bass, himself. The bass sound here has the sound of an orchestra's string double bass.

I’m an atheist but i can listen to this for hours. Beautiful piece and great interpretation. Watery eyes almost every time I listen to it.
ancestor cry
This is a blessing from the Lord
Wonderful - well done and thank you to all
ohh magnificent! My favourite work!
I sang this with a student choire in Heidelberg in the 80ties. So difficult yet full of mysticism.
Ironically, I found this piece exactly 8 years after this recording was made! Beautiful!
And 9 years for me xD amazing

BRAVI!!!
WOnderful performance :)
(I would like to see a "breakdown" how it is conducted :D )

nice
Superbe partition. Très belle version, même si, à titre personnel, un tempo plus posé traduit mieux l'absolue sérénité de cette promenade éthérée.
good
number of issues being caused by conductor is off the charts. bravo to choir
Lol. And a stray alto!
Enya is 3rd from right...
Mit Ausnahme der aufdringlichen Werbung wird das hohe Lob der Kommentare dieser Aufführung voll gerecht.
