Thank you for this incredilble recording of Et In Unum. For me it is the most beautiful recording of this wonderful piece of music and I know many of them, because I am a musician too. Today I burried my sister, my only relative and your recording comforts me more than everything else. Thank you so much and greetings from hamburg, germany.
I hope these people realise how incredibly lucky they are for having the talent and the ability to earn a living by making music as beautiful as this. What a dream!
Lucky yes, but the work is long and hard. That’s not a complaint; I want to make sure you know that it doesn’t just happen this way. It takes a great deal of work.
@@Tinker1950 of course it is! I am just saying it because I have been studying and taking singing lessons for half my life, and I still do not have what it takes to earn a living on music. And it's my greatest frustration in life.
@@emfox6280 Oh I know that. And I agree that's very unfortunate. However, lots of other professions also do not get paid what they deserve (in my country, notably teachers!!)...
Yes, the ensemble is wonderful and the voices are beautiful, but would someone please mention the gorgeous playing of the 2 Baroque oboe d'amore players! 😀 👏👏👏👏
A beautiful Bach rendering! Great to have Katie's voice showcased so well - a really great alto voice, often rather hidden in the full VOCES8 ensemble. And goes so well with Barnaby's counter-tenor. The baroque players are exquisite too. Altogether a tour-de-force, thank you all.
@@herrickinman9303 Originally Catholic, but Lutheranized by Bach. Never heard it in the Catholic Church, but certainly in Lutheran settings. Catholics should play it more often!
Very uplifting. It is amazing how each generation of talented musicians can continue to bring new life to a piece written more than 250 years ago, and performed countless times.
It is not only sheer beauty, Barney and Katie seem to live the music they are bringing to us. You can see the joy all the musicians are feeling. The meaning of the words is put forward emotionally so that you can feel the faith of Bach in this excellent performance.
Oh mein Gott.. Bach und VOICES8.. Was für eine Verbindung. Komposition und musikalische Interpretation in allerhöchster Qualität.. Thank you very, very much. I love VOICES8..
Whoa!! Give me more! Barnaby's voice has grown intensely enjoyable for me - a unique timber that adds so much to the music. And what about Katie? Not only a beautiful voice in her own right, but she makes everyone better providing the undertone for so many of Voces8 pieces. Would love to hear Katie solo or duet more - she seems such a happy, delightful person. This duo should produce more and keep Katie in the spotlight!
It is a joy on this Ash Wednesday to hear JSB sung by two marvelous voices who normally sing interior parts. What a treat! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️
ปีที่แล้ว +7
Katie manie le vibrato à la perfection. En outre elle jouit d'un bel ambitus. Avec Barnaby ils réalisent le beau mariage de l'alto, qui, ici monte bien haut, et du contre-ténor : pure joie : merci Bach et les musiciens ! En espérant la retrouver dans d'autres pièces, duo ou solo, ce sera avec bonheur 🤗
Superbly sung and played. I find myself fascinated with the gestures that Barney and Katie use to achieve the best interpretation and tonal quality - such movements are not normally allowed in live performances, but in my own limited experience, they are very helpful.
When I walk past a small group of 10 people in a supermarket, or in a walk in a park, its hard to imagine that they could ever come together and produce such amazing heavenly music and ethereal singing...Wow...never underestimate how amazing people can be. Such a lovely performance from all. Thumbs up and subscribed.
Katie.... just exquisite, so well nuanced, joyful, effortless well beyond her normal alto range, a delight to listen too, especially in tandem with Barnaby.
Sweetest possible version of the sweetest piece in the mass. Love the informal setting, up to and including the first violinist chewing something, maybe sunflower seeds, while performing flawlessly.
What a brilliant piece of music, the Mass in B Minor. Along with the St Matthew Passion, the greatest religious music ever written. Composed near the end of Bach's life, when he knew he had only a short time to live.
Sublime!! My favorite duet from the B minor Mass. Barnaby and Katie's vocals are pure fire! I'm always getting ragged for loving baroque played on period instruments - the sound is pure and just 'right'. On a closer look, some of the violins appear modern.
It always amazes me when I hear their solo voices outside of the group. Incredible! Voces8 singers are so talented (is if that weren't obvious already) 😉
Agradecendo aos músicos envolvidos. Dueto perfeito. "E em um só Senhor, Jesus Cristo, o Filho unigênito de Deus, gerado de Seu Pai antes de todos os mundos, Deus de Deus, luz da luz, Deus verdadeiro de Deus verdadeiro, gerado, não feito, sendo uma só substância com o Pai por quem todas as coisas foram feitas: quem por nós homens e para nossa salvação desceu do céu." ALELUIA!
I have played the Bach Mass in B Minor several times but, being a French Horn Player, once I was done with the Bass Aria, Quonium Tu Solis Sanctus, the only Horn Obligato part, I usually dozed off, so this wonderful duet aria was a revelation! If I had had soloists as spectacular as Barnaby and Katie, I would surely have made the effort to stay awake!! ;-)
I don't know of an expression of the necessity of beauty for human lives than this exquisite contribution by Barney and Katie! ! The longer they go on doing this the better lives will be for us all. Bach is the building block,...devotion to his contribution is fundamental and devotion a necessary prerequisite.
I might not be the most sophisticated music connoisseur, but to me this is perfect. Perfect. The intonation of the whole ensemble, the dynamics, the stunning dialogue and echo of the two voices. The tempo. The pathos. It's a text a bit boring (credo in unum dominum, not a lot of poetry there), yet it brings you to tears for the sheer beauty of it, and the execution is so perfect to seem almost transparent, as if the ensemble is not there and the music plays itself.
Absolutely beautiful - I listened to it 4 times in quick succession! I'm a big fan of VOCES8 as a whole, and it's great to be able to appreciate how brilliant they are as individual performers,
Brilliant Baroque solo work by Barnaby and Katie! I love watching VOCES8 members in working recording sessions where they are free to gesture to help themselves focus their phrasing!
Yes, and the two oboists are swaying around to the point of being quite disconcerting. Surely they would be more focussed without expending all that extra energy.
Thanks, VOCES8 for letting us share this lovely music. The two voices and the ensemble in perfect harmony. How much poorer the world would have been without J S Bach!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the eight of them, with a band like the Illyria Consort, really ought to record the entire B minor Mass. (I can understand if they feel it would be too tiring to do the piece on a concert tour.)

So sorry about that, our deepest condolences...
So lovely to hear Katie’s upper range. Glorious!
Indeed! That seemingly effortless high note at 0:49 struck me with awe!
That top a rings with joy
@@markdejong2309 A brief look to God´s glory!
Katie we so seldom get to hear your beautiful, strong voice. You and Barnaby sound great together....more duets from the two of you please.
I've never heard Katie so featured.. WHAT an exquisite voice! Barnaby and Katie blend beautifully. Thanks so very much!
I hope these people realise how incredibly lucky they are for having the talent and the ability to earn a living by making music as beautiful as this. What a dream!
It wasn't hard work and application then?
@@Tinker1950 roll of the dice! And they don’t get paid nearly as much as they deserve.
Lucky yes, but the work is long and hard. That’s not a complaint; I want to make sure you know that it doesn’t just happen this way. It takes a great deal of work.

Bach is the absolute master. Incredible to see these musicians perform his work so beautifully. The quality is outstanding.
This duo are just unbelieveble amazing. Without Bach the Earth will be like a Mars: desert.
So uplifting! Barney and Katie you have such beautiful voices. It’s a rare treat to hear either of you alone😊
What an incredible range Katie has! Both voices blend beautifully, and I love the jaunty accompaniment too - bravo!
Yes, the ensemble is wonderful and the voices are beautiful, but would someone please mention the gorgeous playing of the 2 Baroque oboe d'amore players! 😀 👏👏👏👏
Ich bin wieder einmal begeistert von diesen Stimmen, Katie´s und Barney´s Stimmen passen außerordentlich gut zusammen und harmonieren perfekt.👌
I agree about the voices of Katie and Barney. I have to put this on repeat!
What a treat to hear these middle voices so prominently and beautifully featured! Exquisite!
They all dress and look like ordinary people and then they do extraordinary things. An inspiration to us all!
I absolutely love Bach and this interpretation makes me falling deeper.
A beautiful Bach rendering! Great to have Katie's voice showcased so well - a really great alto voice, often rather hidden in the full VOCES8 ensemble. And goes so well with Barnaby's counter-tenor. The baroque players are exquisite too. Altogether a tour-de-force, thank you all.
This could turn me into a Lutheran! Beautiful music!

The only thing better than a good countertenor is a good countertenor together with a good alto. And nothing, really, is better than Bach.
Hard to argue with that.
She's a mezzo.
@@margaretkuwata6794Mezzo is the operatic designation; alto the choral designation.
@@gitasongThe piece is scored for soprano I and alto.
@@TheSummoner That has nothing to do with my point.

@@herrickinman9303 although it’s written for soprano and alto, Katie is actually an alto, but she manages to get the soprano part done beautifully!
Thanks Barney and Katie!
Your voices blend beautifully, doing this heavenly music full justice❤❤ Superb!!!!!
Dear "VOCES8", it's always delightful, splendid to see you and your hugely beautiful performances, thank you so much for sharing 💖
Superbly sung and played. I find myself fascinated with the gestures that Barney and Katie use to achieve the best interpretation and tonal quality - such movements are not normally allowed in live performances, but in my own limited experience, they are very helpful.
Not only fantastic to listen to, but also beautiful to see how this music is experienced by Katie and Barnaby. Outstanding!!
What a flow, what a joy! Barnaby Smith, Katie Jeffries-Harris and the musicians in perfect approach to the spirit of JSB. Thank you very much.
Fabulous. I would love to see Bach's reaction to this. Well done to all who have worked together to produce this beautiful video.
OMG. I listen to them as a whole often but have never realized how wonderful these two voices are individually. Amazing.

Congratz Barney and Katie! Splendid performance!❤🎵🎶🎶
What exquisite vocal control Barnaby and Katie have! Listening to such wonderful music doesn't get old, ever!
Beautiful rendition. At the Dallas Bach Society, we usually had a soprano and countertenor sing this, but we never had such a versatile alto as Katie!
Sweetest possible version of the sweetest piece in the mass. Love the informal setting, up to and including the first violinist chewing something, maybe sunflower seeds, while performing flawlessly.
Why on earth would it be sunflower seeds
The best version of this piece I have ever heard 😮
What a brilliant piece of music, the Mass in B Minor. Along with the St Matthew Passion, the greatest religious music ever written. Composed near the end of Bach's life, when he knew he had only a short time to live.
MAGNÍFICO ,precioso dueto cantado por Katie y Barnaby, sus voces se acoplan perfectamente. ❤️👏✨
Absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful performance by Barnaby and Katie... I've got goosebumps...
Stunning and beautiful, thank you for sharing this piece. Would love to hear Stabat Mater- Pergolesi as we progress towards Easter.
Their blend is just marvelous.
This choir is truly amazing with everything that they do!!!!!!!!
Sublime!! My favorite duet from the B minor Mass. Barnaby and Katie's vocals are pure fire! I'm always getting ragged for loving baroque played on period instruments - the sound is pure and just 'right'. On a closer look, some of the violins appear modern.
Explain why they ‘appear modern’. I can assure you they are all baroque instruments.
had me in pieces... (well it is Ash Wednesday today). Wow, your voices work superbly together
This was so beautiful. So dynamic and at the same time such warmth. Thanks!
It always amazes me when I hear their solo voices outside of the group. Incredible! Voces8 singers are so talented (is if that weren't obvious already) 😉
Oh my God! These two are wonderful!

No more words.... Aboslutely a pure beauty!
Wunderschön. Vielen herzlichen Dank.
Merci à vous , Bach est le plus grand pour moi .....
This is everything! Hits exactly the right buttons in my brain. Thank you - absolutely wonderful!
No tuxedos (or powdered wigs), just an incredible group of musicians in comfy clothes - bringing this wonderful music to life!
You guys not only perform beautifully but also have a great audio engineer. Shout out to whoever that is.

What can one say in the presence of Bach’s genius? Just awe-inspiring!!
I encountered Herr Bach about 70 years ago, and am still trying to appreciate his genius!!
Exquisite..No styling--just real. And I love Katie with real hair. Thanks.
I've listened to this so very many times that I think I may have addiction issues. Looking forward to being with you at the Proms next weekend!
Incredibly beautiful performance!
Beautiful. I didn’t want it to stop. Lovely to hear Katie giving full throttle. More!
After listening to this sublime duet, all is right with the world!
Top class 👍🇬🇧
A perfect way to prepare for Ash Wednesday. Thank you, thank you, all.
Masterful composer, singers and players. Thank you all so much for your excellence. Great joy.

@@gwalaus Oboe players are always like that! ;-)
How wonderfully you sing! Words cannot describe it. And with such an orchestra!
This is sooooo beautiful, I can listen a 1000 times and more .....
Wow beautiful duet. Also amazing high note Kate!
Incredible performance. Et in Unum is one of my favorite Bach pieces, and I'm thankful for every time someone really gives it their all.
Thanks, VOCES8 for letting us share this lovely music. The two voices and the ensemble in perfect harmony. How much poorer the world would have been without J S Bach!
Someone already said "glorious" - that's perfect!
Holy moly, that was spectacular to hear and to see. Frigging awesome!
Love me some Katie and Barnaby. And the Consort is amazing as well. Bach has never sounded this good. Bravo all!!
Merveilleux, quelles voix, qu'en dirait Bach lui-même !!!
Bravo Katie and Barnaby! So nice to hear you showcased. And what a wonderful orchestra.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the eight of them, with a band like the Illyria Consort, really ought to record the entire B minor Mass. (I can understand if they feel it would be too tiring to do the piece on a concert tour.)
Delightful. So nice to hear the contrast between and blend of the two altos. Altos don't often get to shine like this.
Larmes de joie en ce samedi matin, merci ! 1'56 : le sourire de l' Ange ! 😇
Big fan of the combination Alto and Countertenor. Keep up the good work.
La plus belle interprétation de cette merveille de Bach !
Beautiful ! Praise God for these voices! Jesus is Lord and King of Kings ! 🙏❤️
about the Lord and the Kings: could be? who knows? but maybe not. But definitely yes this was beautiful
Thank you for sharing the gift.
Straordinaria esecuzione! Ricca di grazia e armonia. Le voci si fondono, giocando insieme e la melodia si effonde, diffusa in un'atmosfera magica.
I REALLY LIKE THE COMBINATION OF INSTRUMENTS ALONG WITH VOICE
Oh you sweet pair - HUGE fan of V8, but this really showcases your sheer virtuosity, complementing each other. just lovely
Thank you to all the musicians involved in this magnificent performance. What a wonderful performance, absolute perfection and perfect pitch ❤️💙❤️
Bravo Barney, Katie, and the instrumentalists as well. Wonderful d'amore duo!
Bien ! bravo ! pas d'excès , tout dans la simplicité , c'est ainsi que j'aime ce répertoire de J.S Bach .
