Josquin des Prez / Mille regretz 

0:40 That tenor ornamentation, I keep on repeating it. Sounds so pleasing and hard to do

The Phrygian mode makes this all the more sad, especially with what sounds like what should end with an A-major chord is actually an E-minor chord approached by a half step in the soprano.

Mille regretz for not hearing this amazing performance before

Mille regretz de vous habandonner Et d'eslonger votre fache amoureuse; J'ay si grand dueil et paine douloureuse, Qu'on me verra brief mes jours deffiner. En français : J'ai mille regrets de vous avoir abandonné Et laissé votre visage aimant J'ai un si grand chagrin et une telle peine douloureuse Que bientôt mes jours se verront être comptés. In english : A thousand regrets for abandoning you And leaving your loving face I feel such painful sorrow and grief, That soon my days will be seen to be numbered.

I don't think there is a performance of this song which gets anywhere near this one, with its subtlety, honesty and lovingly cared ensemble work. Thank you a million times. I would love to have an album of yours dedicated to Josquin chansons, which I think are still waiting for an ideal album. How about it?

Probably the best performance I've ever heard until now, lovely!

The best version of this piece perhaps ever recorded.

Je suis tombé par hasard sur cette interprétation, après en avoir écouté de nombreuses, je peux dire qu'il s'agit de l'une, si ce n'est la meilleure interprétation que je n'ai jamais entendue de ce chant de Maître Josquin Des Près, qui aurait été fier que son œuvre soit si magnifiquement perpétrée cinq siècles après sa mort. Gilles Binchois, Johannes Ockeghem et Josquin Des Près nous ont laissé une oeuvre à nulle autre comparable et Profeti della Quita la perpétue fidèlement. Bravo et merci!

Stunningly beautiful performance! Had never heard the tenor line so gorgeously ornamented as Jacob has sung it here, or the bass as Elam has. An absolute joy to listen to.

Elam Rotem is fantastic. I also listen to his musicology channel. Thank you all for sharing your artistry.

Painfully beautifull,great interpretation profetti

Pure beauty. Thank you.

Amazing. De Prez was one of the best exemplars of renaissance philosophy in music. Just beautiful.

What a performance! How it is possible to touch perfection that way! Congratulations.

Pure beauty...Thank you all for this stunning performance

Wunderschön... raus schauen, die Regenwolken vorbei ziehen sehen und Eure Musik geniessen. Merci

Wow, a breathtaking piece of music and performance!

Awesome and awesome ornementations ! Love it !! I had never heard ornementation on this loved piece and yours are very great. Your interpretation is very touching

So beautiful

Merci pour ce moment de bonheur.

Wow. Wahrschinlich dei Beste Interpretation von Mille regretz die ich je gehört habe! Und ich habe schon sehr viel gehört. Danke für diese Einspieung!

What a wonderful performance ! All voices sound so individual yet marry themselves so well with the others, enough to make it sound as a whole ; as One sound. The lyrics as well spoken for the poetry of it to take its meaning There's color, emotion, history, Music... On top of that, it gives the idea of what Josquin's life would have sounded like. In one word : Wonderful !

Foarte frumos sherif

Even with iPhone sound the phrasing, the tapestry of the lines, the richness and delicacy of vocal production the elegant precision of pitch- all of the makes this a performance to be cherished. 2 minutes of bliss which will resonate lingering for as long as you let it.

this was absolutely incredible! beautiful voices, excelent control and a very exquisite use of dynamic and ornaments!

Great performance. This might sound overdramatic, but I believe this piece to be one of the greatest of all time. Despite incredible simplicity, the construction is *perfect*. And of course it's unbelievably moving.

J'adore !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Never Heard such a beautifful version. Thanks so much.

The way you expressed this song was so beautifully interpreted! All the feelings was there. You showed in this song how regretful you were. It is a gorgeous interpretation. I've never heard such a poignant performance. I don't think I could express myself as you did. Congratulations! I love it "mille" times.

So beautiful, especially with headphones. Tearful, lamentful and reverent music. My God

Absolutely masterful performance. I could watch this for hours.

I listened to your beautiful recording for the first time a month ago, and since then I have returned to this video many times to listen again. Bravo! Amazing and fascinating singing! It's not better to find! Thank you so much (:

By far the most touching performance I've ever seen. What a rare moment. Thank you so much.

Very nicely done. And fascinating knowing that emperor Charles V listened to this music over and over after the dead of his wife Isabel of Portugal.

Its difficult to imagine more perfect, more harmonious rendition on any respect. Everything is an enchantment. You made a tremendous work to acheive such a marvel. Thousand Thanks for this pure beauty 🌹

Sublime, la fusión de las voces y los matices que aporta cada una es para quedarse anonadado. La mejor versión de Mille regretz que escuché sin duda.

Merci, magnifique interprétation !

Josquin would have been so happy to listen to your performance !!!! Perfect

Heavenly phrasing, tonality, control and texture in a sublime piece. Thank you

Impresionante… sin palabras. La mejor versión que puede existir

One of the best rendition I’ve heard of this beautiful masterpiece. I love you work and channel.

I've been coming back to this almost everyday for the last months. Thank you, Elam Rotem. This served as inspiration to study more antique music along with your videos, since my studies as classic musician have almost no content on how to play music before 1700... This is something unique, we are very lucky.

Thanks Elam (and the rest of you) for creating such a thing of beauty!

Thank you so much! This is an unbelievable treasure. I hope what you have put out into the world comes back to you ten times!

I regret that I can't like this 1000 times!

I love this so much! It's absolutely mesmerizing to watch you all communicate with each other as you sing! Also, the embellishment in the Tenor part is epic. Bravo!

Admirable, renaissance-worthy recording of one of the most haunting pieces of all times, whether it was actually written by Josquin or not.

It's the man himself, Elam Rotem!

Quintessetially gorgeous. Nothing compares to this performance of this masterwork. Kudos to the vocalists for such truly glorious perfection.

As EVERYONE else has said, so very beautiful. Thank you.

This recording makes my eyes wet and I don't even know the words. Amazing song, and sung so delicately. beautiful, so

This is Soooo beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

Yet another cracking performance by Profeti della Quinta! Thank you.

Absolutely exquisite. Thank you.

Such beautiful harmony and melody. This piece by Josquin is so moving and majestic.

Wow, great rendition, the harmony is alive and the rhythm is perfect. Nice to see Elam Rotem holding down the bass, no wonder it sounds so great.

I still considering finding out about this song to be one of the greatest highlights of my musical history education Thank you thank you thank you for keeping it alive

Bravo!… j’adore votre version!

Agora já está no Spotify. Obrigado, Profeti della Quinta!

Just exquisite! Love it so much. Found you by way of Early Music Sources. 🎼

That tenor is a straigt dawg, he's him.

Just amazing.

c'est ma liste personnelle dirait-on mais voir mille regretz quaand on l'a soi-même chanté c'est très émouvant magnifique

I’m currently studying Narvaez’s vihuela intabulation. Thank you for a performance of such depth and beauty. It’s like a guiding light as I make my way through the piece on my instrument.

From another world. Amazing

Bravo !

A magnificent piece performed with great feel and competence. A genuine pleasure to here a piece performed so well. I have heard very little of his work but I did hear another of his works but sadly forgret its name. A lament of some type for the death of an important person. 👍 I found it, A Far Cry - Josquin Des Prez Nymphes des bois La deploration sur la mort de Johannes Ockeghem. arr Caroline Shaw.

Splendide ! Bravo !

¡Excelente interpretación!!!

Alucinante ❤❤❤

Without a joke, you are so skillful it's just outstanding! Beautiful voices, amazing recording and mastery. You made me listen to this kind of music for like 2 years now. I am big fan of Profeti della quinta. I think this is the peak of music.

Ahhh! Stunning. ❤

If I didn't watch Elam Rotem's video about this piece of music, I wouldn't have been aware of this piece at all

This was beautifully done! 👏👏👏👏
