Here you can listen to all lost, scattered, abandoned, never used or thrown away LIVE RECORDINGS by GRAINDELAVOIX, all I could get my hands on, to share them with you, because I think they have a value and a charm rarely heard on finished recordings or on cd's. Here you have GRAINDELAVOIX in the middle of the action, in the work in progress, in the heat of a concert or in the experiments of a rehearsal or try-out. These are recordings in the margin, revealing the true soul of the group; none of them are available on CD. Some were hard to find and I'm happy you can hear them on this channel. GRAINDELAVOIX is most of all a group you have to experience live and that's what's happening here... Enjoy! More to follow...
I don’t care if this interpretation isn’t necessarily historically accurate according to scholars of early music. It is a human interpretation and gets the feeling of desolation across very well. I love hearing the uniqueness of all the voices. This is so raw and human. Words can’t describe how this makes me feel.
No other interpretation I've heard even comes close to comparing to this one in my ears. The unique timbre that each singer brings to this is just so magical and I know that this isn't how early music is typically performed and it probably wasn't performed like this at the time, but this interpretation is so soulful and beautiful. I much prefer this way of singing early music. Also they are so in tune you can hear the high E in the overtones at 3:18 so clearly.
This performance is between life, death and afterlife. I am still not sure what or how or when. Beyond words and keeps me mindblown. Omnibus gratias. Amen. Thank you all.
Qué belleza, las voces son una joya, me encantan especilmente los contratenores, se mueven con gran dulzura y sentimiento, sin aspavientos ni exageraciones.

Re: 1:30:00. The conductor is a burglar, caught in the act - one leg inside, one outside the window, holding onto objects and ephemera snatched from their venture inside the building and bringing them to the attention of those watching the escape in action. Any later - once taken away or left to escape - is too late to judge what was taken.
Dear Bjorn, You and Graindelavoix are gods of early music performing right now. Thank you for your work and the ABSOLUTE BEAUTY of your music. Also, thank you very much for this video!
I love this so much, the fluidity and expressiveness are unparalleled. However, I do wish it would be possible to hear the strings more clearly. Their work is almost invisible.
I love this. It’s challenging and exciting. Much more interesting than the million anodyne performances and recordings that one usually hears. Thank you for this, keep going!
FO with the 'Josquin': it's like shoving 'Palestrina' before all Roman music of the early 17th century: we know better now. Is it de la Rue? Probably - so get rid of the 'Josquin', or just write 'something something something 1920s German musicology'.
Beautiful music beautifully sung! As for style and interpretation, either Josquin or LaRue (?) are trembling in their tombs or they are loving to see their music is still sung and appreciated 500 years later...
