What an unbelievably stunning piece of music and beautifully sung. Bravi.

[@davidbullard1671]

I have heard other choirs perform this piece and they are the best by far. Their range and tone is perfect. This melody is hauntingly beautiful and they nail it! Not saying the other choirs are bad, see for yourself and listen with surround sound or some 7.1 headphones. It's like being transported to another world.

[@matiasgago1586]

Nῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου, δέσποτα, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ,
ὅτι εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου τὸ σωτήριόν σου,
ὃ ἡτοίμασας κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν λαῶν,
φῶς εἰς ἀποκάλυψιν ἐθνῶν καὶ δόξαν λαοῦ σου ᾿Ισραήλ.

What a performance, divine :)

[@matiasgago1586]

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Una maravilla

Hermoso y sublime

[@cesarevisioli6175]

Meravigliosa composizione ed esecuzione.

[@matiasgago1586]

Ahora, Señor, según tu promesa, puedes dejar a tu siervo irse en paz.
Porque mis ojos han visto a tu Salvador,
a quien has presentado ante todos los pueblos:
luz para alumbrar a las naciones y gloria de tu pueblo Israel.

Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace:
Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum
Quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum:
Lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuae Israel.

[@amandedeux6657]

Lumen!

[@florinlimbutu8606]

amazing performance indeed. but one thing i think only musicians observe: the choir is swapped (AT-SB)

[@KM-bu1se]

Italiano
Ora lascia, o Signore, che il tuo servo
vada in pace secondo la tua parola,
perché i miei occhi hanno visto la tua salvezza,
preparata da te davanti a tutti i popoli,
luce per illuminare le genti
e gloria del tuo popolo, Israele.
Thanks mainly to Simeone 100 year b.C. (and than to Matias Gago for latin versions).
Original prior Greek version
Νῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου, δέσποτα, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ,
ὅτι εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου τὸ σωτήριόν σου,
ὃ ἡτοίμασας κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν λαῶν,
φῶς εἰς ἀποκάλυψιν ἐθνῶν καὶ δόξαν λαοῦ σου Ἰσραήλ

Who is singing the soprano lead in this performance?

[@klassikswrkultur]

We think Kirsten Drope is singing the soprano lead here. www.swr.de/swrclassic/vokalensemble/article-swr-4416.html
