Cappella Amsterdam - Cantique de Jean Racine (Live @ Bimhuis - Amsterdam) 

It is indeed very beautiful, Joseph! By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand. I feel myself like a sort of non-official ambassador for his music - and, effectively, also one of his few supporters. He is very, very talented. You won't be disappointed. ru-vid.com

This is a PERFECT performance, really beautiful. Thank you Cappella Amsterdam.

Perfect tempo and the piano, instead of organ, seems the better choice to accompany the lovely voices!

Absolutely, the voices blend perfectly and the piano accompaniment was superb.

Version particulièrement de qualité et intéressante pour travailler seul l’œuvre ! (François M., ténor dans le Choeur symphonique de Montpellier, France)

Takes me back too my HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR YEAR Texas State Choir concert

Qu'elle merveilleuse chorale et musique de notre Gabriel. Fauré. La beauté de l âme. Et du coeur

Yes, at least on RU-vid. This band has stripped out the sentimentality that bogs down other versions. The piano is a little perfunctory, but the choir makes clear what the composer intended.

@@pamelafrancis4476 Don't forget the wonderful camera work, which makes this video stand out from the many others. And the sound engineering is also unmatched.

Their legato is almost the same as the Oriental Lullabye. Being Oriental myself, I like it.

Except at 2:12. The R roll was so jolting to me when I first heard it that I did it double take and was pulled out of the music. Honestly I think it's inappropriate and I wish the conductor would have shot down that single person who decided to roll their R. Of course, it could have been to the conductor's approval, as well. But I do disagree with the original post in this thread that there is a unified voice within this choir, and 2:12 is proof of that.

Well, not in my opinion. It creates a wonderful descriptive contrast, between the busy daily life vs. the heavenly peace this piece conveys - thereby asking us if there could be something we have forgotten.

The traffic was part of the truth on the occasion. Authentic.
