A wonderful performance in glorious acoustics - furthermore a Slovene quartet singing the most famous piece of the most famous Slovene composer - it just doesn't get better than this !
In this time of composition was no different between german and slovenian speaking people. The name was "Handl" it is german. The germanspeakings are killed (1918 maribor/Marburg) or later expelled.
They use a pronunciation of latin which is used in German speaking countries. This is absolutely correct. Besides: this is an excellent interpretation. Bravo!
@@MrPdonh Nope. Latin can be either pronounced in classical or Medieval form. Also, Slovenia is not a German speaking country. There is no special pronunciation for German speaking countries either. Here they sing in the Medieval version because it is a Christian song and Medieval pronunciation is used in the churches.
@@kaidenreading7152 well, nobody really knows how classical Latin sounded. But yes, the medieval pronouncation is pretty common in German speaking countries (because the German language is pronounced the same basically). Many other pronouncation have more or less modern Italian pronouncations (like dulcis as dulchis) , this one not
@@kaidenreading7152There most certainly were regional variations in Latin pronunciations. This performance is in the Germanic Latin variant, which is different from Italianate (or Ecclesiastical) Latin, which is itself different from English Latin. There's a reason why historically-informed performances of Byrd's Ave verum corpus (for example) would use /s/ for the 'c' in "dulcis". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_regional_pronunciation
