J'aime beaucoup caroline SHAW ; la partition est magnifique, et cette interprétation par de jeunes voix est superbe et très émouvante. Un très grand bravo à tout le monde.

I'm a big fan of Caroline Shaw, and that modulation just after 2:20 is so 'her' - love it. Thanks for this.

Hi Anna , this performance moved me to tears . So beautiful . I bought the CD immediately of course. Thanks so much for bringing this song to life. Its one of the best things I've ever heard... and I write music for a living!

Nice touch that the choir are casually dressed with drinks bottles on the floor. Everyone can enjoy such glorious music. Dinner jackets or ruffs and surpluses not essential.

Would Wigmore Hall care to respond to this?

Truly, this is the best recording of this out there.

Watch the tenebrae choir. I think they are slightly better. Their bass section is just overpoweringly beautiful and all of them fit so well together.

I can easily envision a swallow flying overhead when I listen to this

[@StarlightsRest]

I usually contemplate one resting in a nest, taking shelter from the rain.

[@stephenhulbert3500]

This is sublime. Is anyone involved in the recording of this able to advise on the equipment used and post-production techniques?

[@ZacharyJMoore]

This was beautiful. I know you probably have no idea who I am, but I am an emerging composer and hope to collaborate with you one day. Congratulations on a beautiful performance.

[@tomhuras5297]

Why are some of the singers on the left hiding their faces with the music sheets? Is this some kind of mute?

[@rnewman7857]

It is an optional interpretation by the director to soften the tongue to palate (nnnnn). It can be done without covering the face .

LOL.

Easy listening classical crossover. Not as bad as Max Richter though.
