What an absolutely spectacular performance of this masterpiece. This choir is simply phenomenal! Tuning perfection, sublime sound, warm, glorious, rich and clear sound! The sopranos bring incredible warmth and clarity. And ATB are all equally beautiful and powerful. The phrasing, the musical shapes, the beautiful vowels, the tight ensemble, all perfection. The expert musicality and musical insight of Mr. Dijkstra make this a truly deeply spiritual and powerfully moving performance.
Probably the best ever.
The best performance of this masterpiece i experienced was decades ago, same choir but of course different singers. NKK was in that time one of the top choirs in the world. Especially the bass singers gave this choir an unique balance in color of sound.
I have just come across this glorious music. I think my words of praise for both music and performance can add little to all the glowing comments below. Listening to this Mass was an enriching experience.
Here it is Good Friday 2021 and we are still with this pandemic. This piece is perfect for a night such as this. Frank Martin has crafted this beautiful music with not only his amazing musical skill, but also with a deep connection to his spirituality. The final movement is so haunting with its final plea, Donna Nobis Pacem.

very good conductor. Congrats on the performance. Bravo!

Being a live performance, this is stellar. Possibly the best live recording of Frank Martin's masterpiece around.
Bravi! A joy to listen to!

Wat een inspirerend ! , voordat ik de Johannes passion als bas in ons oratoriumkoor Soli Deo Gloria uit Hoorn ga meezingen in dit jubileumjaar van Frank Martin, Bravissimo... voor Frank Martin, Peter Dijkstra en het Nederlands Kamerkoor!!!!!
No word needed, this music is so pure, thank you for sharing!
What a wonderful performance❤️ Bravo❤️ Thank you❤️
I was listeing this concert houndred times... No words can explain feelings with this performance ... thank You!!! ;*
This gave me a glimpse of heaven.
Beautiful thank you
Wonderful work, and this Chorus' clear yet very warm sound makes this a performance to be treasured.
Wow, wow, wow.
Wow for a beautiful composistion, from a choir music lover.
Wow for a touching rendition, I get goose bumps, from a former choir singer.
Wow for an excellent recording, from somebody who did live choir recordings by himself.
And sad, that I cannot share this link anymore with my late father, a choir singer and conductor.
My goodness! Bravissimoooooooooooooo
I cried.
Sublime music
Meine Bewunderung für diese makellose Wiedergabe ist nicht mehr zu übertreffen, zumal diese Messe zu meinen absoluten Favoriten der jüngeren A-cappella-Musik zählt. Und von mir schließlich sogar fehlerfrei gesungen wurde. Darauf bin ich stolz... also großer Glückwunsch !!!
Dank für die freundliche Worte!
Extraordinaire, qui prouve que la musique la plus austère peut être sublimée par l'interprétation
Wonderfull voices and really interesting intrerpretation, Congratulations. We always love the carefull and the well handle conduction of this kind of difficult repertoire. Thanks again.
What a performance. Stunning.
A rather shy applause from the audience for a sublime work and rendition. I'd have gone with a stronger reaction for sure!
They are Dutch, said the Dutchman ;-)
@@josdurkstraful 😀
Thank you !! It's so wonderful, great job !!!
Ses vraiment génial comme musique sa fait rêver vous ne trouvez pas en tout les qu a pour moi sa fait rêver
❤️❤️❤️
Magnificent performance! I wonder if Peter Dijkstra is related to Edsger W. Dijkstra, the noted Computer Scientist…
Considering the fact that this is a recording of a live (and NOT a recording-studio) performance, it is truely stunning ... In the Kyrie, there are some audible flaws, no doubt caused by the nervosity of singers in the face of such a demanding and monumental masterpiece and the urge to do it proper justice ... In fact, this is a most unusual piece of music: Frank Martin (an utterly Calvinist musician, befitting his Swiss origins) kept it in his drawer for decades until a friend convinced him to publish this masterpiece which currently is probably the most often performed of all his works ... There are obvious parallels to Bach´s latin "Hohe Messe", the ultimate tribute to a fundamentally catholic form of musical art by a profoundly Lutheran musician ...
Very well done, beautiful sound, very precise intonation, deep understanding of the music on both the conductor's and performers' side. Great video!
Lovely.
Also -- thank you for helping me learn this piece (my choir's singing it this season).
Très belle version ! ! !
Bien sur j'étais très mal habitué , avec la MAGNIFIQUE version de cette messe chez erato dans la série " ultima "
et dirigée par denis MARTIN .
Amazing rendition!
❤️
Marvellous. Is there a chorister, or a choral conductor, whose life isn't enriched by this extraordinary work?
🐪🐪🐪
Yes. Those who have not yet heard it. I am surprised by how many choral musicians I know who aren't familiar with it.
Wonderful.
Great performance!
Deze mis is een van de grootste klankjuwelen uit de gehele koorliteratuur. Van dit werk zijn er vele uitvoeringen die niet klinken of boeien. Al met al blijkt dit een uitermate moeilijk werk om het tot een bevredigend klankresultaat te brengen. Maar dankzij de keuze van de juiste locatie: een kerk met voldoende nagalm, en waarbij de ruimte in staat is het geluid te dragen in plaats van de dempen of, nog erger, op te zuigen, gecombineerd met een goede muzikale discipline, is deze uitvoering beslist een van de betere. Een werk als dit verdient het om in je innerlijk de diepste gevoelens van ontroering teweeg te brengen,. Daarom is het zo in- treurig dat na afloop geapplaudisseerd wordt: alle opgebouwde sfeer wordt weggeklapt. Alle moeite voor niets...
Wat ontroerend, die stilte (en gezichtsuitdrukking) na de slotnoot!
Großes Werk und Singen, Gottes Segen.
WOW!! May be the best recording of this I've heard! and Live???
Me too. Congratulations!
Bravo!
Echt hét signatuur van het NKK. Koorklank, interpretatie, dictie, kraakheldere ritmiek, alles op eenzame hoogte...
hi wim, jij hier ook ? groet wouter
I m here listening to this , just 3 meters away of the tomb of frank martin , his tomb is under the shadow of a magnicient tree...
Where is he buried?
Stunning performance. The choir shows amazing focus and unity. It probably helps that they actually watch the conductor, something even pro choruses don't always do. But the pitch was perfect all around, as was the pronunciation (to my ear), the blend, the shaping of phrases, everything.
And I have to say, that's about the best audience I've ever seen. They are enraptured throughout, every single one. The gorgeous piece and the superb performance help of course, but when I watch concerts it always seems like there's one or two people who aren't caught up with the music, no matter how good it is. But not here. Are they musicians themselves?
And I'm curious about the venue. Is it even a concert hall? It looks like the lobby to a concert hall, but it has the reverb of a cathedral. Was the reverb added in post-production? (I can keep a secret!)
Bravo, singers! I'll have to pull out my Dale Warland version to compare.
Thank you for the kind words! As to the location, this was recorded in the Jacobijnerkerk (Jacobin Church) in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. When the choir performs there, we usually stand below the organ balcony to make the best use of the special acoustics in the church.
@@NederlandsKamerkoor Aha! That explains it. :-)
I don't know who is responsible for the publicity. It interrupts this beautiful music at the most impossible moments and destroys this video. Very sad ...
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, this is indeed not meant to be the case. We are having some issues with UA-cam's copyright system, we are working hard to fix this!
Try using an ad blocker - total uninterrupted bliss. A lovely performance.
@@NederlandsKamerkoor I was lucky enough to be able to enjoy this performance from the beginning to the very end without any ads, although other musical enjoyments were always troubled by utterly annoying publicities ...

Het viel me op dat de lage stemmen aan de binnenkant staan en de hoge stemmen aan de buitenkant. Martin tekent de opstelling expliciet andersom in de partituur. Ik ben heel benieuwd naar afweging die hiervoor gemaakt is? Is het de akoustiek, de samenklank?
Bedankt voor jullie reactie! Bij het SKA gebruiken we de Bärenraiter editie van 2014, twee de print 2016, en achterin onder 'critical commentary' staat er een opstelling. De bron is alleen niet vermeld.
Deze opname is echter prachtig, dus Martin had vast niet geklaagd!
What a great service! What a terrible audience! Continue to reach out to all.

The recording shows an extraordinarily professional precision. But listen to the sound: after 10 minutes, one gets saturated with the overly bright vocal production, sopranos in the higher register sound like laser beams, the basses are overly lightened to the point that the lower notes don't speak at all. Dijkstra is a wonderful craftsman, but there is clearly no poetry, no subtlety at all in his craft. Simple example: Martin was a deeply spiritual man. Think of that and just listen to the Kyrie of this recording: is it a profound plea for mercy coming from the bottom of the composer's soul or a sequence of chords with dynamics attached that have to be sorted out and tuned properly? There is a reason why here in Sweden the Swedish Radio Choir got so tired of Peter...
Sorry to hear that you're not enjoying this performance as much as we are! Of course, musical taste is personal, although there seems to be a small misunderstanding: our colleagues at the Swedish Radio Choir have honoured Peter Dijkstra by naming him their Conductor Laureate as of 2019, so they must be the opposite of tired! In the meanwhile, we are looking journeying forward in choral music of all times, with Peter as our chief conductor for 5 more years .
L song lol
