From the mountains
a cry has been heard,
weeping, crying, and wailing.
Rachel mours her children
and she will not be comforted
for they are no more.

So beautiful! I listen to it every evening now... I'm also impressed how understandable both singers pronounce the difficult German language.
A truly breathtaking piece of music and a wonderful performance!

[@sophelet]

Absolutely beautiful. Davies and Cutting are a perfect match in timbre and phrasing, and the viols are as wonderful as always. Just stunning. Can't wait to hear more.

[@classicbird2627]

Never heard Schütz in such a beautiful setting. They are both vocally very similar to one another. Such harmony! More of that please!

[@JUNGMEEPARK]

Voice of heaven! Amazing sound I love it. Thanks for posting.

When I listened to the radio broadcast of a live concert with Gardiner, Bowman and Chance in 1981 I immediately fell in
love not only with this piece but with the voice of Michael Chance.
These two are wonderful beyond description! Deeply moving beauty. A precious gift! Thank you!!

[@christineannemarsden]

Fab! I need to hear more of Hugh Cutting!

[@paulsmith5752]

One of my favourite pieces. Amazing how much Hugh Cutting sounds like Michael Chance (who features on a vintage recording of this piece I have).

[@antoniocaparros9601]

OMG, the king and the prince… Breathtaking!

[@GraceAnneLadyHawk]

I so love these rehearsal videos, seeing those wondrous voices come out of guys in tee shirts and button-downs.

[@duganmorgridge9558]

It's almost as if musicians are people! 😂😂

[@pauldavies8535]

It’s a recording session- check the microphones. Recording sessions are rarely in concert dress.

[@Cantorisalto1]

​@@pauldavies8535a huge clue!! - some of the comments people make!!!

[@ohmy5650]

So wonderful to hear artists who aim excellence. It'll always be a grace to listeners' ears & souls. May all that's grace for the soul remain forever.

[@beatstranger1767]

Great combination: Cutting, Davis and Fretwork! Particularly, I love Iestyn Davis, he could sing everything thrown at him with amazing artistry. I'm still enjoying his Dowland recording with Th. Dunford!

[@danielfryer9693]

Exquisite - such a fabulous blend of voices and strings. Thank you!

[@AnjaHuebel1]

Precioso canto y exquisita interpretación polifónica de la partitura renacentista de Schutz. Voces brillantes y claras que oran y alaban al Creador y Redentor del mundo.

Se detiene el tiempo, todo fluye con el aliento de Dios, que sopla e inflama nuestra alma.

Hi Laurie, it should be released in the second half of this year.

SUR LES MONTAGNES, SWV 396 Dans les montagnes, ils entendirent des cris, beaucoup de gémissements, de pleurs et de hurlements. Rachel pleurait ses enfants et ne voulait pas être réconfortée, car tout était fini pour eux. (Matthieu 2/ 18)
