Great performance. It's a shame about the poor video quality - this Classic FM copy is twice as good at 480p but there must be a higher resolution HQ version somewhere! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CpB2Y-Mix2Q.html
I have been priveleged to sing this, and it is like being immersed woth fellow singers, the conductor AND the sudience in the sublime sacred. You trally have to concentrate on the music not to give in to emotion during the performance itself. What you feel has to go deep into the music to create an experience of oneness with the audience. You can cry when the conductor lowers the baton and there is that deep silence of sacred awe and unity the performance created---that silence before the clapping. Nothing like that kind of communion!
I thought it sounded a lot like Funeral Canticle which is used in the film The Tree of Life (2011) and it makes sense because this too is a John taverner piece :) So if you like this one definitely check out Funeral Canticle
