The Tallis Scholars - Obrecht. Missa de Sancto Donatiano (Concertgebouw Brugge & MAfestival) 

How can anyone not like this? It is the voice of God.

one of these fine young chaps was a guest at my wedding. and sang with my husband, who would have thought 24 years later he would be a Tallis Scholar

The older i get, the older the music i like. I wonder in disbelief at this, tis where heaven touches earth. Clive James said that.

Feels like I am in a place full of light, forest, mountains, peace, and fresh air.

Watching these expert singers is inspiring. Hearing what they are doing as an ensemble is just above humanity. Still, seeing and hearing the incomparable Caroline Trevor makes me wonder if she isn't more angel than human; all those concerts, all those recordings, her voice is always other-worldly beautiful!

Honestly now, is there anything more sublime than a concert of talented singers performing such sublime works in a stellar location as this? Many thanks for posting.

I love this wonderful piece of sacred music under any circumstances and when it is performed by the magnificent Tallis Scholars my joy is great indeed...

Transporting... Complete audio immersion... Flemish polyphony is world's wonder and never cease to get one awestruck with its unearthly beauty. Well, in the expert hands of Peter Philips and through the wonderful singers of Tallis Scholars the refinement and subtlety of every compositioin sang messer Obrecht oevre gets the due treatment. Many thanks to sharing.

So peaceful in a time of troubles.

Just peaceful, sublime and magnificent! Thank you!

What a group, absolutely divine.

I love the way Steven Harrold looks on the other choir members!

een prachtig koor.. heel mooi.. als of je bij God aan de deur staat, gewoon prachtig.. alle emoties bij mekaar.. beautyful..

Having sung in my college a capella choir and madrigal group I can only listen in awe ar the marvelous ensemble and voices of this group. Truly what I would wish for should the opportunity arise to lead such a group! Marvellous.

This is heaven on earth.

Beautifull music without instruments. The human soul carrys with it many great things , and this beautiful music is a prime example of that.

Très belle interprétation, pour moi parfaite, avec tout le souffle nécessaire pour rendre toute l'émotion de cette si belle polyphonie.

Bravi tutti!

So Angelic

Merveilleux ensemble que les Tallis scholars qui nous offrent le pur diamant de cette oeuvre si peu connue de la polyphonie de la Renaissance, née de l'Ars nova. Les compositeurs de cette époque nous enchantent encore.

Eu ouço trechos desta missa todos os dias. A cada analise, uma bela experiência. Fico a pensar se os conteporaneos de Tomas Tallis ou ele proprio pudesse ver os nossos dias e ver as evoluções das tecnicas do canto e da tecnologia como aplificaram a beleza desta obra maravilhosa.

Wonderful!

Sublime!

Increíble, maravillosa interpretación, inigualable, magnífica... me quedo sin palabras.

Absolutely sublime !! I posted a link on Twitter tonight, as I missed the concert beginning (it is currently on a French tv channel tonight). I will watch the replay & see if there is a recorded on CD version of it available). This Ensemble never fails, one of my very favorite, and this is even much more appreciated by these troubles times I have to say. Thanks for the upload ! 👍👍👍

awesome!

É como ouvir as vozes dos anjos vindas diretamente do Casa de Deus! É bom viver nesse tempo em que na Terra estão encarnados pessoas com essa qualidade de vida. Obrigado!

heavenly

Fantásticos e increíbles como siempre los Tallis Scholars,... de mis conjuntos preferidos de Música Antigua.

Absolutely Sublime!

Absolutely Magnificent, What A Beautiful Gift Of Music 🎶

Just wonderful!

Fabulous!

this is just exquisite

Superb choir. Thank you.

4 or 5 years ago has the greatest opportunity to be at one of the Tallis performance at Bristol. Hopefully next Feb a trip to London.

I'm so happy that they're not all under 35.

Sublime

Emma Walshe angelical voice!! 😇

The modern era has "self-help" but the middle ages had people like Thomas Tallis and Jacob Obrecht. Draw your own conclusions.

La bellezza.

Steven Harrold has still got it. Bravo.

🌹🌹

Great

😘

Fantastic as always, the Hosanna sections in the Sanctus are just incredible. Does anyone know where I can find the score for the Mass, can’t find it anywhere! 😞

peter phillips is a genius

For a different take on this same Mass setting, sung by the (all-male) ensemble Cappella Pratensis, go here: ru-vid.com/group/PL76DD264FC534759C Cappella Pratensis's recording (not all of which is on this playlist) is a complete reconstruction of a memorial Mass in honor of the man for whom Obrecht was commissioned (by the man's widow) to compose the Missa de Sancto Donatiano. They also shot a video of the complete Mass in the church in Bruges where that memorial was sung. You can check out the first part of that video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H15dSNLa-U4.html.

Can anyone help me to describe this part between 42:42 until 55:21? What the name of this mass? Who is the composer?

Any details on the compositions sung after the mass concludes? I see the composers’ names, but no titles.

I don't know if this beats Palestrina (i'm still exploring),---but this is far, far beyond Dufay. It's more smooth and open.

この教会、行ったことがあります。ミケランジェロの聖母子像がありました。

57:06

This music is an act of worship. It would better as part of a traditional Mass. Also clapping in church...not comfortable with that. Sacrilegious
