This is wonderful, with impeccable tuning, diction, and controlled passion. I never expect anything less from Vox Luminis. Well done - and I always think a cold, resonant church helps focus the voices!!
but is is... amazon.com/Music-Europe-at-Time-Renaissance/dp/B00D8DVFDM you need to add www. We recorded about 45mins of music for this collection of renaissance music! I checked quickly, but you might be able to getting this recording via the pages of ricercar or outhere.
The conductor guy is weird - keeps putting his right arm under his left armpit - does it in every video. But that sound. That sound. They're the best. Beautiful.
They're making a commercial recording. Picking a building with the right acoustic is a vital part of that process. They may well have chosen that place for its echo
Bravo, enfin une interprétation qui sort du lot. Si ce n'est la prise de son et d'image un peu lointaines et floues. Si ce n'est aussi la prononciation en français moderne d’interprètes francophones qui font regretter la prononciation en français de l'époque renaissance. Par contre l'équilibre des voix, le contrepoint, le tempo et le style interprétatif en forme de lamento sont remarquables et surtout ne forcent pas le trait dans des nuances expressives exagérées et anachroniques..
Bravo - an absolutely stunning version of Lassus' composition! By the way, the English translation is not correct: "C'est fait de moi" means "I'm done for", "I'm ruined" and not "It's my choice". This would change the whole meaning of the biblical story which wasn't intended by the poet.
It is a pity that the English translation is catastrophic. 'C'est fait de moy' doesn't mean 'It would be my choice'. It means 'This is done to me' or 'I'm finished'
no - he didn't... this .mov-recording was done during a professional sound recording, so nobody cared about the little cam that captured this moment - this is how we record cds.
Compare the 1589 Byrd consort song "Susanna fair", same text. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kqE9FStoHvo.html Susanna fair some time assaulted was by two old men, desiring their delight, which lewd intent they thought to bring to pass, if not by tender love, by force and might, to whom she said, if I your suit deny, you will me falsely accuse, and make me die. And if I grant to that which you request, my chastity shall then deflowered be, which is so dear to me, that I detest my life, if it berefted be from me, and rather would I die of mine accord, ten thousand times, than once offend our Lord.
