Our new album "Dream" libera.org.uk/...
‘Forever’ is the first album recording without Libera’s founder, Robert Prizeman, at the helm. The Libera sound was conceived by Robert and was first truly realised in recorded form in 1999. Since then, the sound and repertoire have evolved as the group has gained popularity with audiences across the globe. In the early days the music was mainly based on Robert’s compositions, taking influence from ancient plainchant and the great choral repertoire, as well as contemporary production and instrumentation. The boys’ voices, however, have always been front and centre.
Where to start with this record then? Robert left a couple of unfinished pieces, which provided the starting point for this album. Other tracks look back at Libera’s past, some are covers with a Libera spin, but, most excitingly, some are new compositions by members of the Libera family who grew up singing for and making music with Robert.
The team working on this record is testament to the strength of Robert's rich musical legacy. However, his legacy is more than just the music he gave us; Libera is a family, which is managed and guided by a small team of generous volunteers. Without them, along with the support of families, schools, churches, and friends, we would not be able to sustain Robert’s vision to bring this unique music to listeners around the world, whilst providing the singers with the very best musical training and experiences.
It is the work of all these people, but even more so, the commitment, musicianship and good nature of the singers that gives us great hope that the future of Libera is in safe hands.

Every Libera fan should check our Ave Verum on the new album. It’s Albinoni’s Adagio in G minor version and Freddie Mushrafi is the soloist, and his voice is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!
Eu vi meu filho❤❤❤ fiquei impressionada com a voz do Freddie, sem contar que ele parece com meu filho! Virei fã❤❤❤❤
Lovely!
Freddie’s voice is my favourite !! 🎉
Ele parece com meu filho❤❤❤
Ангельские голоса у ребят. Очень нравится Лука. Но самый неземной - Фредди! Волшебная внешность и волшебный голос! Пусть все юные певцы будут счастливы! Всем, кто причастен к этому чудесному коллективу - огромное спасибо!
Really love Freddie's Ave Verum😭🥺 what a amaizing voice!
Ele parece com meu filho❤❤❤❤
This album Robert Prizeman will be in heaven listening to the album feeling extremely proud of the final product. Thank you Robert and the group
It’s so good to see the grown up Josh here. He was one of the sweetest voices and he also was very cute then. I listen to Libera all the time, their voices just lift me up. Thank you so much!
What a wonderful video with Libera. New and old meeting, the always smiling wonderkid Josh and the ever so talented Luca. We all miss Robert.
So glad to see Joshua Madine!
I used to love Libera music many moons ago, thought of them today and found this new album. So sorry to hear about Robert’s passing but so pleased to see that Libera is still making amazing music and a lot of the ex singers and now writing and producing the music
Hi there Josh! So lovely to see you here❤
I feel so refreshed watching the video. Libera, I love you so much. I'm really excited to meet you again through the album.
Beautiful boys with beautiful voices, all you are like Angels guys; and May God bless them, LIBERA Forever!!!😇🎼☁️🌟💙👼🙏👼🏻🙏🏻👼🏼🙏🏼👼🏽💙⭐☁️🎶😇
Bless all you young men. You ALL have such beautiful voices.
Safe travels, stay healthy and enjoy your venture. Peace in the world to ALL.
7:08 ”안녕하세요, 저희는 리베라입니다.“ 너무 사랑스럽고 감동스럽다...
You are wonderful kids with the voices of angels. I wish you all the best for the future.
I love Libera so much after all these years and I totally understand change but their was done in such a wonderful way. I hope they continue on for many more years.
Luka and Freddie...you two have dangerous voices. 😇
Thank you, Libera, for this lovely introduction to your album!
Thanks, Sam, Josh, and others who have kept Libera going.
Cada um mais lindo que o outro. Apaixonei por estas vozes. 😘
Very beautiful music these fellas are wonderful and spectacular 😊
This is great news. I can't wait to hear the new songs. And thank you to everyone that works so hard to bring this music to us. You are all so amazing.
I am looking for someone to go with me to Los Angeles concert. God bless Robert Prizeman and all the boys of Libera
@@busterbuster7178 I don't know how I gave the impression the invitation was to general public hehe. I meant I am looking for one friend. Don't want to offend you but, I don't know you, if you're male or female or whatnot.
@@busterbuster7178 should be a good show
@@busterbuster7178 my buddy Jan will be coming with me. He loves choral music from Europe
You pay the air fair and lodgings, I’m there!!
Thanks to all for continuing the rich and musical heritage of Libera. Be Blessed Always, Barre from Brookyn NYC
Extraordinarias voces Angelicales....me transportan a lo confortable y estar en Paz!
I am so happy to see Josh and others still being a huge part of Libera.. The sound is still instantly recognized, and the new twist of stepping a bit out of the box, Amazing!! Wish to see you in America in Jacksonville Florida
Sam Coates is also from the old days of Libera
Nice to see Josh and Sam still with the team! Oldie but goodie Libera boys!
They’re not in Libera anymore but they’re still helping out
3:39 Wait, Josh Madine is now back as the co-producer/composer of Libera!? I'm crying, he was one of my favorite soloists of my generation!
I’m seeing ur concert in NY! My parents surprised me with it on my birthday and even pranked me by saying we can’t go cuz it’s too expensive but on my birthday a pic of the ticket was in my card and now I’ll finally meet them! (After the concert when they sign things)
Oh my goodness! What a throwback, and it's incredible and so poignant that former Libera members are the ones moving Libera forward. I look forward to seeing what new direction Sam takes Prizeman's original vision and how the group will evolve. I started listening to Libera in highschool (I'm a few years younger than Ben Crawley), and it's crazy seeing everything come full circle. Many of the mini-boys weren't even alive when Josh aged out. I'm sure the new songs will be in regular rotation on my Spotify playlist for a whiiiiile. :)
Will be buying this for sure! Who took over after Robert passed on? Whoever it is they are doing a great job. Robert’s spirit will be looking down with pride.
Sam Coates, who sang with Libera years ago, and has been heavily involved in sound, etc. since then.
Thanks for this. It’s nice to see Josh involved still too.
Looking forward to hearing and seeing everyone on the US tour. CDs are great, live is better.
Congratulations Josh on being involved still! So glad Mr Coates that you all are continuing to carry on the work pioneered by Robert. He was an amazing person. Also glad that the boys get to enjoy creating the wonderful, universally accepted music that you do. Already pre-ordered my album! We need another DVD soon too!
Inspiring as always 🙏
Looking forward to the new/latest album, I’ve been listening to Libera, since I was in my late twenties. Now in my early thirties, their phenomenal enchanting, heavenly, mystical even sounds. Take me far off when needed, and has certainly been my go to, as I’m currently grieving, if not mourning my beloved adopted mom amongst several other lost/passed on loved ones including my beloved biological dad. 🕊️🥺🤍 Their music also is at times as a spiritual-somewhat Catholic the closest I feel to the heavens if not the Lord/a world beyond this current one.❤️🩹🙏🏾🕊️ May Sir Robert Prizeman continue to rest easily always…🕊️🙏🏾🕊️
Мне за шестьдесят и я, признаюсь, не поклонник Либера. Но я сам в детстве занимался музыкой и знаю, как ребенок проникается ею. Чаще он хочет понравиться не имея больших музыкальных способностей. В детских хоровых коллективах, особенно в том юном возрасте участников, где голоса тех же мальчиков-подростков звучат ангельски, особенно чувствуется какая огромная работа была проведена взрослыми, чтобы найти эти бриллианты и огранить их. Мне сдается, что Либера один из таких замечательных музыкальных коллективов.
В этом альбоме уже есть просто шокирующая находка - Фредди Мушрафи и его исполнение Ave Verum - Albinoni (Adagio in G minor). Он не просто юный гениальный исполнитель, у него потрясающая харизма и интуитивная глубина проникновения в замысел музыкального произведения, свойственная таким одаренным детям. Я желаю коллективу успехов, альбому долгую жизнь, а детям счастливого детства и благополучия после завершения этого периода в их жизни. Но особенно хочется пожелать удачи Фредди. Не знаю почему, но мне кажется, что его ждет великолепное будущее великого музыканта.
O meu Libera Angel preferido e o Freddie. Ele parece com meu filho❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We will be looking forward to the release of this video! Despite the fact that the names of all 13 tracks are quite well known to us, as well as the names of the soloists of each of the songs, it will be nice and interesting to hear what young performers have to say about their songs. Finally, with particular interest we will study all the information regarding the videos filmed for the "Forever" DVD compilation.
There's a DVD?
@@DanielKim5732 The "Forever" compilation is still classified as a CD. But there were shootings to create a video version of one of the songs. It may have been the video for the song "The Lighthouse". So, as was the case with the "Beyond" compilation, the videos will be released separately in DVD format.
@@19DON74 Oh that's a nice piece of information, thank you :)
I'm looking forward to Far Away. It's going to be such a full circle and I was hoping the song would make a comeback someday. For a while it became one of Libera's signature songs, kind of like Sanctus and Libera (the song).
@@user-jg9rp5qf4g Well, such an expectation looks very justified: each of us has his own song "Libera", which is sure to become the most beloved. For me, expectations with the release of "Forever" are, first of all, connected with the song "Sing for Ever". I can’t call myself a long-time fan of the choir (there are many people who recognized the songs of the best boys’ choir in the world much earlier than me), but I can still say that “Sing for Ever” also went through such a life circle with me: my first acquaintance with this song miraculously took place in 1990. I don't know for sure where the owner of the vinyl record got it, but it was the same record from 1987 with a picture of barefoot boys in white robes and the inscription "St. Philips Choir. Sing For Ever". Yes, a year after the release of the vinil, an album of the same name appeared in CD format, and then several times the song was performed by other choristers - but that, the first performance, I remember most of all. And now I have a "new acquaintance" "with a well-known and beloved song"!
Thank you Libera for your great, wonderful music.
Very nice video; I am really looking forward to the new song, it sounds beautiful!
I cannot wait to listen to this wonderful new album! Thank you Libera for bringing us yet more superb work!
Yay another Album for my collection.
Libera is my all-time favourite band!
그때 앞자리에서 너희들 노래듣고 보고 싸인받고 대화해서 얼마나 기뻤는데 그날생각난다. 잘 지내고 있으니 팬 입장으로써 얼마나 기쁜지 모르겠다.건강해라
How I LOVE these choir members - all of them. I have my specials but that is my secret. I will let on about one of them: JOSH ❤❤❤❤ and the one who looks like an Indian-American (name?)
I live in Korea - so glad they had a good time here
They have a pretty voice ❤️❤️😍 I love they voices
Congratulations, LIBERA! Can't wait to hear your new album!

I give a round of applause to the former members and the technical team who gave their best to make the choir so good that the young boy s today feel so proud to be a part of Libera
We're thrilled to have Josh with Libera upto now....
Great
Voces capricharam nesse album❤❤❤
Parabens aos instrumentitas, maestros, e principalmente nossos anjos com suas vozes esplendorosas!❤❤❤❤
Welcome Back. Ah great news to know.
Ah your singing is so beautiful😌💙🤍
The songs sound so good as always. Already pre-ordered it, can’t wait for the release. Great job Libera and crew.
It all sounds really amazing and I'm already enjoying the tracks which have been released. It's also really nice to see Josh again! I've been a fan of Libera since the very beginning, so definitely remember him being one of the singers many years ago. It's great he's still having some sort of role with Libera.
I still wish they come to Denver one day I been with libera since 2015 hopefully they do a tour in Denver Colorado one day 🙂
I am so excited 😆 I can't wait!!!!! Love you all Libera🥰
It's great that you've effectively dedicated this new album to Robert's memory. I empathise with your mild moans about the drudgery of making recordings. Eons ago, when I was a chorister making records with the Abbey choir, it was even more irksome as they were mastered on tape and there was no such thing as digital editing. 😅🎼🎶
Excellent travail de création divine, bravo. 🕊️
Oh this is going to be so great!! can’t wait
りべらはナン世代も癒やされます心を豊かにしてくれる全員メンバーの応援していきたいです。ありがとう♿❤️素晴らしです‼️
I love libera ❤
Looking forward to it!
It's lovely to see Josh in libera one more time
Oh very good to see that Josh is fine.... Will we see Libera in germany too ????? I will buy your CD..... A what`s about Tom Cully???? And al the other who preformed in Leiden???
Thanks for the introduction and thank you boys of libera for showing the adventures in Korea and thank you Oscar and Victor for giving the information Oscar gave the information about the album and Victor told that he sings lower parts nowadays because he is in bass and his voice is a bit like a senior your voice was just like tadhg in the second introduction of the album if and now in the third introduction of the album forever Victors voice was the same voice in the Christmas message 2022 his voice was a little bit senior from his throught thanks for the introduction boys I am coming to meet you when you get back to London in Saturday 11th November 2023 thank you so much for the introduction I will listen to the 13 songs of the album forever which is releasing on 23rd June 2023 Friday now it is coming shortly thank you boys

Que coro ta maravilloso se les niños Dios los bendiga 😊😮
beautiful maiden glow
This was a great video. So good to see a lot of the behind the scenes and hear some of the boy's stories.
Josh has created a really great song in 'The Lighthouse'. I've heard it live twice, so far and the video and album track is one I am really looking forward to hearing again. I hope the video will be on YT soon. 💝💖❤🔥
when are you coming back to the Philippines
Yeah,yeah,yeah when are you comeback to Indonesia too? Me & my friends have been waiting long,not bad there is a broad city park near the mall
I love Libera
Ave verum is Amazing
I fell for Freddie's voice the second he started singing... God knows maybe the most ear-catching voice I've ever heard in my life
I love your group.
Perfect, thanks ❤❤❤
I can’t wait for the new album. :)❤
Ohh wow.. look, there is Josh Madine! Love you, Josh!
When are you concert to Indonesia? Me & my friends have been waiting so long
Such lovely kids!
Excellent.
amazing babies
🇧🇷Love Libera
Robert's successor is doing a great job
Great
❤❤❤
Libera is so good❤
Yes
Cool
Great introduction, chaps. I cannot wait to receive my copy of your new album which I have pre-ordered. I loved the look of the Lighthouse video and look forward to seeing that in its entirety. I think the videos that you make on location are a country mile better than the chroma key ones but I guess that resources are limited. Keep up the good work and thank you for all the joy you bring.
😅 That little advertisement at the end
Will ther come a dvd from this album ?
