Giacomo Puccini - Messa di Gloria for solo voices, choir and orchestra 

You should be very proud of it !

I won't go that far! But it is one of several orchestras in Europe that are very good. I do like Warsaw Philharmonic orchestra and choir. They are definitely excellent!

Your pride is justified, the Warsaw musical forces are outstanding and they deserve very wide recognition ─ but I think "among Europe's best" might be a little more accurate.

Magnifique, justesse de l'orchestre, une très bonne direction . cool

Are you trolling? If so, this is pretty funny.

@@whoitisnot Someone pays a compliment to a group of musical performers and states why...you, instead of commenting on the performance, comment on the comment and don't add any value to the discussion...now, that is trolling //-D

@@MrMagnusFogg your comment reads like it's written by a musician trying to pretend he knows nothing about music, that's all. Nothing wrong with the performance. I just thought your comment was funny. :)

C'est grâce à beaucoup de travail, de répétitions et de passion.

Magnifique !!!!

En effet, le gros du travail du chef, s'il en a vraiment l'occasion, se fait en amont, en répétition. Si c'est bien fait, il n'a pas besoin de s'exciter durant la représentation. Ca devient une question de style personnel après. T'as des chefs qui ne font presque rien en concert. Mais il faut aussi des artistes de grande qualité, et de préférence très habitués à jouer ensemble sous la direction de ce chef

I agree. I am more and more worried by this fast changing world of ours, by human greed and more and more losing faith in humanity! Anyway, the complete sentence is: "Et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis" = "And on earth peace to men of good will" Does it imply "no peace for the other men, not of good will"?

@@ff516 Who hasn't "good will" doesn't want "peace on earth", I think :S

@@ff516 I'm told that the original Greek of this text can also be translated as "and on earth peace, good will toward men." As the King James Version does, for example.

nothing about this music is liturgical. this is opera with an alibi sacred text.

@@itzlbritzl23 Would you be so kind to define 'liturgical music' ?...you can't, can you ?...one would have to resort to the nature of the text and/or the place where it's being sung...being the place completely indifferent, since today you can sing secular music in 'temples', we're left with the text...which, in this case, is pretty liturgical...the melody and harmony are completely indifferent, to each composer his own way of writing, be it Palestrina or Stravinsky ...give these texts to a "Metallica rock band" and they'll come up with 'liturgical music'...one may hate it, but it will be liturgical, nevertheless...by the way, check the word 'liturgy' //-)

C’est beau !

did you now that its a very early work?

You are so wrong. The text and accompanying orchestration are in perfect sync. They support each other. I have sung many sacred works besides this one: Saint Saens' Christmas Oratotio; Rossini's Stabat Mater; Handel's Messiah, Cherubini's requiem, Brahms' Ein Deutches. Requiem. I think I know whereof I speak.

Troll much?

ma va che capisci tu!!!
