    The intonation of the ladies around 0:11-:013 is just incredible. I mean, it's all incredible but you can hear overtones and their dynamics match absolutely perfectly. And that last chord sounds like an organ. What a joy it must be to sing in a group like this, I couldn't even imagine. Bravo as always!

    Purcell died in 1695, but here we are in 2023 and these words are still true -
    “O pray for the peace of Jerusalem”

    Bravi! I had the pleasure of hearing VOCES8 in Chicago a few weeks ago, and was awed by their pure brightness. If you have the chance to hear them perform, for goodness sake, go!

    Was finally able to attend a VOCES8 performance in person (The Plains, VA, USA). Absolutely incredible even with the occasional passing train interrupting the performance. 😂
    I read a post once where someone said they can't possibly sound that good without it being enhanced. Yes, they can and do. Amazing!

      I was at that performance also. I thought the train coming through intermittently added a unique touch to the performance that night. Voces8 is absolutely hands-down, most wonderful vocal group I’ve ever heard in person or on video. 🎉❤

      @@molliethorn The small venue of the church and allowing everyone to meet them all afterwards made it that much better. And at least the trains were well-timed rather than in the middle of the songs. Hope to see them in London someday.

      I saw them in Connecticut and they were amazing, but the acoustics of the venue just weren’t good enough - all those glorious overtones were swallowed up 😢 Hopefully I can see them again in a smaller more resonant venue.

      apparently they DO choose to get their venues next to the railways…😂 that train-passing-by-thing seems to happen quite to many if us attending their live perfomances… I have witnessed them keeping up spendidly against a metro line every seven minutes or so… they even started to make fun of it very graciously 😅

    Superlatives long gone, except to say a huge wow to Molly's soprano. Where words fail, there is music!
    Edit - comment, not criticism.
    I hear a flattened note @2:51. A check of Purcell's score shows an Fnat for the Alto, against an f# for the second Soprano, over the syllable 'pa' of pa-la-ces. Did I hear and read right?
