Absolutely wonderful! I keep coming back over the last several years, to listen to their voices and watch these lovely young women sing with passion and the amazing ensemble playing and supporting the choir. Bravo to the conductor for leading them and bringing them to all 300,00+ of us over the years! Almost brings me to tears. Thank you all.
What beauty. Young ladies singing with all their hearts swaying to the harmonies and rhythm of a man who lived three centuries prior. Purcell would have approved.
I stumbled on this absolute gem this morning in Estonia and I was moved to tears by the beauty of this amazingly fresh and innocent rendition of Purcell. It reminded me of my youth and the path of discovery of the beauty of the world. It brightened my day in the midst of hysteria and panic over C.
Qué maravillosa interpretación de Purcell. Voces cálidas, alegres para acompañar una mañana de sol brillante. Gracias también a los fabulosos director y músicos
I so agree. The mind-rotting garbage that one hears all the time nowadays is ludicrously called "music" and that shouting over banging beats are called "songs"! This recording is such a tonic.
@@richardbetton-foster3899 . I think that us older folk should not be emphasising mind rotting garbage but simply praising to the heavens such performances as these. Leave the garbage to the bin. You will never get the young on your side otherwise.
Superlative performance. Excellent diction, enthusiasm and this non-English ladies choir is singing from memory. Thank you for brightening the day of this elderly choral singer. If music be the food of love, play on ....
Listening to this from Melbourne, Australia. Absolutely delightful ...! Surely, sublime music knows no bounds ... .who'd have thought that a contemporary Portuguese girls' choir could perform Henry Purcell so exquisitely, and with such youthful vigour. Bravissima, ladies ...!
So amazing to hear such beautiful voices in the midst of the pandemic lock-down. I appreciate that it was sung so beautifully by a Portuguese choir in my birth tongue. I have tears of joy. Muito obrigado!
Purcell's music has always affected me on an intensely personal level, but this incredible performance is truly one of the high points of my life-long musical relationship with the composer (My wife and I made a point to visit his grave last summer when we were in the U.K.) My compliments to these inspired vocalists; we can see the joy of their own performance on their faces. And compliments also to the wonderful instrumentalists. And to think that I found this on You Tube by accident!
Speaking as an Englishman who has been aware of Purcell's magic for nearly sixty years I'd just like to say that I was delighted and moved to hear such an excellent interpretation from an amalgamation of young people from another culture. Well done, thanks, an best wishes to you all - keep on playing and singing! Music really is one of the things which binds us!
another culture ? Not so, barock music was all over Europe then, there was no political boudaries for music and arts. Indeed, Europe as we know it was born then
I also agree so very strongly. Seeing and hearing what young people choose to offer us should give us faith in our and their future. Look at them. They're "kids!" Talented refreshing kids brightening our day. Not stiff and starched. They move around, mess with their hair, tug on their clothing and SING! As noted, memory not songbook. Let's all close our eyes and join, be young again. If only..........!
It is particularly fitting that these young Portuguese ladies bring such joy to a composition by England's greatest composer. England and Portugal, the World's oldest alliance.
I have listened and have watched this video more than 50 times.this is performance of youth,confidence,colored characters and artistic innocence.God bless this young ladies .
Everyone is clearly enjoying every minute of the performance, including me. A nigh on flawless rendering, the singing is so relaxed and full of joy. You all deserve an award of some kind, congratulations all round.
This is one of the first Baroque masterpieces that I listened to closely and repeatedly, with the arias sung by the greatest countertenors of the last 40 years. And I am so impressed and moved by this performance. It all - music - still lives.
An excellent performance. Nothing better than Purcell performed by this group of young people during this time of C19. Really lifts the spirit. Thanks for posting.
Je suis tombé sur cet enregistrement par hasard, il y a quelque temps. Je reviens l’écouter à l’occasion, toujours avec la même surprise et le même bonheur. Quelle clarté dans la prononciation, quelle précision dans les entrées et le rythme. L’enthousiasme et la spontanéité en ressortent avec éclat. Un véritable bijou. 💖
What a sweet and delightful thing you have done here ! To be precise - Mister Purcell himself would have been delighted to give ear to your sweet tones. Like some of the others who have commented here, I've spent my life pursuing, making and surrounding myself with music - and today you brought me tears of joy. Keep making beauty in your lives, you are on the right path.
Good afternoon from Athens Greece, this is an extraordinary performance, congratulations to Coro Ninfas Do Lis and orchestra ars Lusiatanae and of corse the conductor!
Love how the choir sways to the music. They have taken this incredible music to heart and really feel the dance like joy of England’s greatest composer.
Wonderful to hear this modern rendition of Purcell's great ode. I was brought up on Alfred Deller's prformance from the 1950s, I could never get these tunes out of my head and used to sing them aloud while driving my car. This all- female choir is superb and the otchestral playing sensitive and vigorous. So glad I found it.
I have no idea where this event took place, but the young women making up the chorus were brilliant. Their voices have power and dramatic variation and they sung 'sound the trumpets' without trumpets and in the end I didn't notice. Great performance.
From Australia... Bravo! A performance that belies the youth of those performing. I hope we are blessed to hear them perform for many years to come and to share their journey as they reach their full potential.
I also stumbled over this and am blown away by the quality of the singing it bought me great pleasure, I hope these young women 3 years later still also get joy from watching their performance and the pleasure they still give to others. well done to the choir director who helped produce something special.
Wonderful..These girls get the experience of great music *very* well-performed, that they take away with them for the rest of their lives. Bravo! (+Booo!..to all those thumbs down)
Et on peut ressentir l'enthousiasme et le plaisir de ces jeunes personnes pour l'interprétation de ces oeuvres, soutenues par la grande qualité des musiciens...
Begeisternd! Frisch und jung ein Werk eines der größten Barock Komponisten vorgetragen! Ein herzliches Dankeschön an Chor, Orchester und last but not least an den Dirigenten! Bravo ein besonderer Genuß!
Lo que más me gusta de esta versión es la alegría y gusto por la obra de cada una de las chicas del coro . Me encanta, lo puedo escuchar una y otra vez.
I just love everything about this. Such an animated and committed performance. Plus the way it is filmed! It captures for me the intimacy between the choir, orchestre and conductor. Beautiful!
Extraordinary. As a student of baroque music, i've heard this piece at least a hundred times in a variety of performances, live and recorded- and none better in its total aesthetic success than this one, the arrangement is good but the discipline, enthusiasm and special quality of the young women's voices make this really exceptional . What did Goethe say: the feminine lifts us up. Thank you Coro Ninfas and orquestra.
What an utterly charming piece! Purcell is best with a twinkle of joy as well as mastery and these girls hit the nail on the head with their fresh and haapy style.
Glorious! Well done! I first discovered these tunes in my early teens and still love them now as I approach my 70s. What a gift to stumble upon this rousing and joyful performance! Thank you so much❤
The first notes already revealed that this performance is extraordinary. So warm , bright, and enlivening. When the girls choir began, their soulful clear sound lifted my heart. Unique and extraordinary!
C'est une des plus belle interprétation de l'oeuvre d'Henry Purcelle que j'ai endentu. Interprété avec grâce et joie, c'est vraiment un moment de plaisir
Goose bumps and tears. Great performance, despite the awful acoustics. A favorite work, as a Cellist, this is so fun to play! Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!
Ode à la Reine Mary sensible et émouvante. Magnifique interprétation sublimée par un art vocal porté à la perfection par le Coro Ninfas. Merci pour cet intermède musical et ce moment de pur bonheur.
Well, I’ve listened to many choirs in my life and this is definitely one of my favourites. Such a lovely, fresh and invigorating sound. An inspiration to us all! Really looking forward to hearing more of your work. Wonderful orchestra too, and such a professional presentation. First class in every way. So glad I discovered this video!
Such joy and life......sweetly sung ..... early music purists will probably get their knickers in a twist over lots of things .....”bid the virtues” was probably the most accurate to original score sung...... lovely ..
What a compellingly authentic sound and period-adherent performance! Beautiful, united chorus. This is gorgeous Purcell-I was transported to the waning Northern Renaissance and a Europe stumbling out of the Wars of Religion into the great advances of The Enlightenment, which included polyphonic music regulated by old contrapuntal parameters animated by the new major/minor tonal system. Purcell was the pioneer of Common Practice we now venerate in lovely performances like this!
@@prototropo 🙏🏾 I wonder if you would be troubled at all to puy your ear (/mind/heart) to another piece of music and share similar synopsis/dissection/*(dissertation!?)* ..... tis not in classical genre however.

@@prototropo yes sorry, the CV19 here has scattered my timing. Lwt me paste links. Might be tomorrow. I'll edit this post here to include them when I find. Well tis ONE song .. but for some reason, am compelled to ask you to hear out 2 renditions of different background musicians in them 🙏🏾
Brava! This is thoroughly magnificent. Having sung this at the University of Arizona in graduate school many years ago, along with the baritone solos, I didn't even know there was a girls choir arrangement for this. You have a marvelous group and what a treat especially during these times in our world. Lots of love to you all, and I hope this finds you in good health! :-)
Wonderful choir and orchestra. Henry Purcell is not well known musician even he was a great musician, perhaps shadowed by Haendel. The first piece of music I listen to H. Purcell the music for the funeral of Queen Mary. Thanks for giving us this concert.
Clicked on the bright colors, stayed for the exquisite performance. Beautifully done. Besides your obvious excellent skills, you have a wonderful and unique presentation - bright, warm, relaxed, and inviting - a nice change from the usual stiff blacktie approach. I've enjoyed watching your other videos; looking forward to more. We need more of this joy during these uncertain times.
Beautifully done by everyone! Such wonderful music and especially appreciated during this pandemic time. How could I not subscribe? Best wishes to all from Northern California, USA.
I'm late to this party but not too late to commend this vivacious and wonderful performance. I'm very familiar with the work and the energy, harmony and enunciation are first class. And no sheet music or words either. Loved the orchestra, too, particularly the wind and continuo. The rehydration stops were cute.
A truly amazing performance. The lilting rhythms and exquisite melodies of Purcell perfectly captured by this remarkable ensemble. Utter simplicity in layout and execution by Coro Ninfas do Lis & Orquestra Ars Lusitana. You have lifted my morning. Thank you
Excellent performance of this orchestra, the girls choir and its conductor. Happily surprised since the girls sing in English with very clear phrasing and good pronounciation. Purcell's baroque music is Real quite fine.

What a wonderful thing for young people to have heard such beauty that counters the modern garbage with which our ears are so frequently bombarded...
I so agree. The mind-rotting garbage that one hears all the time nowadays is ludicrously called "music" and that shouting over banging beats are called "songs"! This recording is such a tonic.
@@richardbetton-foster3899 . I think that us older folk should not be emphasising mind rotting garbage but simply praising to the heavens such performances as these. Leave the garbage to the bin. You will never get the young on your side otherwise.
I’d put money on some of these young people enjoying popular music that older folk would label “garbage”.
Superlative performance. Excellent diction, enthusiasm and this non-English ladies choir is singing from memory. Thank you for brightening the day of this elderly choral singer. If music be the food of love, play on ....

There aren't sufficient complimentary words in the English language to do full justice to this performance. I'll just write - truly superb.

Same. In lockdown in Sydney, Australia.
Agreed,from the woods of N.central Texas
Same here in Hamburg, Germany. My lovely background music while sewing facemasks 😀
Happy to agree from Barcelona. Up with these hearts!
Me too! Halifax, Nova Scotia
This rendering of Purcell's music is so charming, full of elegant beauty and lightness. It is just gorgeous.
Such a gorgeous sound from such a lovely group ... and poor Purcell only lived until the age of 36
Accidentally ran into this video. What a beautiful - fresh - rendition of this Purcell classic! Beautifully done!
Very nice singing, a delightful sound! A relief to see actual choruses singing together, and not just as a "virtual" choir.
Joy indeed. The clarity and freshness of this performance. What a wonderful antidote to these troubled time we live in. Muchissimas gracias.
I can't think of better way to put the current Corona virus problems out of mind than to see these young people singing with such joy and talent.
Love how the choir sways to the music. They have taken this incredible music to heart and really feel the dance like joy of England’s greatest composer.
What lightness, what freshness in this interpretation, I rediscover this work of Purcell. Thank you.

The best english composer ever...
The equal of Telemann and arguably equal to Bach and Handel up to the age of 36.
Colin Gantiglew,
The more I hear Purcell, the more I think he’s underrated!
@@peteacher52 Far more inventive than Telemann wouldn't you say ?
I just cannot stop listening.
Absolutely delightful - beautiful. Well done ladies.
Ladies and lads !
Wow, what an extraordinarily beautiful, emotional and joyous performance it warmed my soul during this dark time.
In this way sing the angels. But conductor and players deserve the utmost praise as well.
Congratulations, I hear the sound of so many flowers and very very well conbined. God bless you all !
Thank you :)
This is an absolutely STUNNING version of a very beautiful piece of music! The young ladies' voices so clear. It sounds like angels' voices.
