Rameau: Grands Motets - Vox Luminis led by Lionel Meunier - Early Music Festival Utrecht - Live HD 

I had never, ever listened any vocal music from Rameau. It's astonishingly peaceful, beautiful, unforgettable. How could I forget to listen something like this? Maybe I was out of this planet, surely! Thank you Rameau, now I am one of your most fervent followers!

Magnifique. De toute beauté. Ces Vox Luminis sont impressionnants comme à chaque fois que je les ai entendus.

These Rameau’s Motets have a fabulous harmony and wonderful music and were the work of an outstanding composer. The soloists and the other voices are superb and the orchestration flawless. This music enchants us and reminds us the good and less good times in life. Sensitivity, grace and elegance are amazing. Long live to the Rameau sublime music. Thanks for this magnificent recording.

Simply beautiful! 💐

Super!

Rameau is a great composer and I also like the playing and singing in this video.

Fabulous. This will supply a week's listening...

Merci à vous c'est superbe . MERCI Monsieur RAMEAU , je vous aime.

Very nice concert I enjoy EVERY NOW! On my TV, via Apple TV 4K. Thank you for your lovely RU-vid channel where I can sit in Copenhagen and see the great concerts. 😊

Splendid performance!

¡Hermosos los Motetes, y qué bien interpretados! Rameau es pasión de muchos (vg. Christie y Les Arts florissants), y no es sin motivo!

Ik was in slaap gevallen voor het concert vanwege een lange rij concerten die dag. Ben blij dat avrotros een vangnet voor de oververmoeide festivalbezoeker heeft geïnstalleerd. Hulde

Beautiful.

Magnificent and sublime!, Excellent stuff!, Thank you for uploading!!

Bravo! Bravo!

Großartig!

superbe, je kiffe !

Muchisimas gracias!

Ahh, that encore! :)

ik vond het fantastisch! tot nog toe het hoogtepunt! In tegenstelling tot zondagavond.....

Würdige Nachfolger von 'Les Arts florissants'!

Awww, why did i missed this on TV?

De muziek van Rameau prachtig, maar het kostte me moeite om te horen in welke taal gezongen werd. Ik weet niet waarom het latijns zó onherkenbaar was, normaal heeft Vox Luminis een perfecte dictie in het latijns. Maar ondanks dát heb ik genoten van het concert, dank aan de Avro, vandaag op 22 nov 20, Dag van Sta.Cecilia, patrones van de musici 👏👏

Thug Life Lionel Meunier !! "Pour la grande fugue d'In Convertendo, rien à faire, je me mets dans les choeurs, vous vous démerdez pour me sortir de la grande musique ! C'est compris ?!!" Je crois qu'on peut dire que c'est la marque des grands ensembles

Hartelijk dank....... It is frustrating that I cannot find the names of the soloists anywhere. Even at the Vox Luminis website there is only the mention of Messr. Meunier. One should see the names of all the musicians and the singers, they all deserve acknowledgement. Also I am curious to know if the Countertenor is Belgian or??

The nice thing about listening to groups with "Early Music" in their name is that you don't get bombarded by trash music by people like Walter Piston and that whole genre of suchlike garbage creators.

Godo come un riccio solo ad ascoltare il fugato del primo mottetto... immagino quelli che lo cantano come devono sentirsi 🤣 peccato che in Italia questo repertorio sia praticamente sconosciuto.

Zu meinem persönlichen Geschmack klingt die Aufführung leider nicht so elegant wie erwartet. Jedenfalls, danke fürs rechtzeitige Hochladen wie immer!

donc ,,? impossible de repondre ????

Misschien ligt het aan de wat wollige opnamen, maar helemaal van de grond komen doet het niet ondanks deze topmuzikanten .....

Diüs...🤦

Normally I love the ensemble... but the french latin is sooooo strange to my ears... and the bald tenor is unbearable.

I really enjoy listening to this. Still, when he was in sixties, Rameau confessed that, if he could start his life over, he would go to Naples and compose in the manner of Pergolesi. I like listening to this. But compared to Pergolesi, I am not sure that it qualifies as music. The American scholar president Thomas Jefferson, who spent time in France before becoming US president, also commented on the "barbaric" state of music in France when he was there. He must have taken aim at composers like Rameau. And he considered Italian music the principal solace of his soul. As I keep listening to this, it is quite pleasing to listen to as noise. But is it music? I am not sure. It definitely is notes. But is it really music? I wish Rameau could have fulfilled his deepest wish and be able to go to Naples and compose real music and not just pleasant noise. Leo Depuydt
