Exquisite ! As for all the stupid, petty comments, the only thing I read into this, apart from its superb quality, is the mutual respect and affection of the singers. Thank you both for one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
This is a perfect performance from both artists. Impressive man with a great voice and a most beautifull woman, also with a good voice. Wales can be proud of them. Greetings from Flanders, Belgium. Jan VCB
@byzintek Well said I agree with all your comments. I think Katherine is a great singer and the overall sound is very pleasing to my ears. I'm no expert, but judging by some of the comments I read, I'd say thank god I'm not and it makes me wonder, how on earth anyone could enjoy any kind of music, when they're continually picking faults and makes me question their motives for doing so. Thank you for contributing so eloquetly..
katherine's career has so far taken off, she is quite the money maker, and she has been all over the world. loved at home and at concerts worldwide, tell me then, all you critics, where has your career and your life taken you, oh I know, you tube.
P.S. This was written for Terfel to perform at the Welsh music festival he hosts at his estate. I doubt that he is "hard up for money and that is why is is singing with her". She has classical credentials; she is no pop-to-opera wannabe. She dressed for the event, not just this piece. Can’t wait to perform this with soprano Megan Chenovick tomorrow…
I am enthralled with Bryn Terfel and can't get enough. I'm not familiar with Katherine Jenkins, but she looks beautiful and I enjoyed their voices together.
I haven't heard all the songs she has sung, but of those I have heard, IMHO Cinema Paradiso is her best effort. Beautiful vibrato, glorious tonal quality and perfect cadence, it is a gem she has cut with Cinema Paradiso.
I'm happily married for 35 years to a great woman but I admit to a crush on Jenkins. What does it? It is those slow motion, incomplete blinks of her eyes as if she is humble (despite her talent and beauty) to be singing this song. As a lyric tenor I submit that if you think she looks strange while singing its because she is using sound techniques of breathing, singing "in the mask", forming syllables well, staying relaxed. Her "ave" seemed a bit harsh, but that may be an affect of Welsh.
Redburdz, the Latin lyrics are the same. It is a meditative Eucharistic hymn based on a poem derivied from a 14th-century manuscript from Abbey of Reichenau on Lk. Constance, but often attributed to any one of three popes. Besides Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Ave verum corpus (K. 618)[6], there are settings by William Byrd (considered one of his best works), Sir Edward Elgar, Franz Liszt , Camille Saint-Saëns and Alexandre Guilmant. What a joy this is to perform with my soprano duet partners.
Fantastic harmonies, magic voices, if only they were not singing about death, crucifixion, pierced heart like if was a Romeo and Juliet falling in love. Other than total detachment from the true meaning of the text, it is just perfect :-)
Byrn is a great example of a voice that falls between meaningful fach(s?). Here's a guy that won the Cardiff worlds with a simple execution of Non Piu Andrai, actually a comic bass piece. He had enough voice to carry it off well and def had the comic part, but his 2nd passagio @ D allows him to cross over to many heavy baritone pieces of Verdi, etc. He is a man without support from the operatic composers (look at the roles under the wiki fach page: nothing listed). What is really written for the bass-baritone other than G&S Ruddigore (please). He managed very well, with the spotlight of that Cardiff win to project himself into many productions and gain big popularity after finding confidence in success. I happen to be a singer of the same build, same voice. I had to take note of Byrn' success with the bass stuff as it wasn't intuitive, but the basis of the power in the voice, even for lighter baritones. I found that really trying to make it work, worked.
P.S. I consider costume designers and seamstresses to be wizards and magicians of the first order. Point is, a degree is a helpful tool, not a pre-requisite. The samples on your channel page are exquisite. I will be singing the role of Parpignol in La Boheme in March. I'm on stage for what, 10 seconds? Now, there is a costume challenge!
this music is wonderful!!!! is there anyone here who could provide me the sheet music? i have my wedding in april and i would love to learn it with my future husband for the ceremony :-) thanx in advance
@elephantbarbiegirl Why do they use microphones? Do they need them? Are you serious? How are they going to record the thing without them? And isn't this in the open air? It isn't a tiny Opera House with special reflective screens and the orchestra in a pit with instructions to mute their playing. Microphones were not used in opera for the same reason they were not used in theatre. The advent of wireless mikes has changed all that.
Trust me, you're not the only to cringe at Katherine Jenkins' voice. I did when I first began to listen to her, but after a while it's one of those "I've grown accustomed to her... voice" kinda things and it begins to sound beautiful. It's hard at first, but I've grown to love her voice and how she sings. It's so close to baritone for a woman.
This is my favourite version of Ave Verum - but can anyone help?? I would like a version without the clapping at beginning and end - and I don't know how to edit. Could someone post an edited version.??? Be very grateful if I could have. thanks.
@arpeggio1358: Re: Jenkins appeal, I noted her "looks" as in her eyes and way, not the look of her bosom. Groban is closer to a lyric baritone than a true tenor. Bocelli takes breaths in the middle of phrases. They both strain at high notes. But their overall package is inspiring. Likewise, Jenkins' persona projects humility, gratitude, repentance, patriotism, good humor, passion for the music. Look, you design apparel that MAY sparkle. But Jenkins makes it DO so. Stop sniping from off-stage.
I THINK ABOUT YOU NIGHT AND DAY, I NEED YOU AND IT`S TRUE, WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU I CAN SAY I NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER BLUE...( THE BEATLES - I`LL GET YOU !) I WOULD LIKE TO THANK JOHN AND PAUL FOR HELPING ME.......
Ave, verum Corpus, natum De Maria Virgine, Vere passum immolatum In Cruce pro homine, Cujus latus perforatum Fluxit aqua et sanguine, Esto nobis praegustatum In mortis examine. Ave, verum Corpus, natum De Maria Virgine, Ave, verum Vere passum immolatum In Cruce pro homine, Cujus latus perforatum Fluxit aqua et sanguine, Esto nobis praegustatum In mortis examine.

Agreed! We are aware of horrid attempts by opera singers at popular genre --- yet the opera afficionados clap themselves silly. No demands for credentials. I don't consider opera and classical the same thing. There are great sacred/oratorio singers that probably ought not do opera and vice versa. I don't consider myself among the top 50 tenors in my state. Yet after most performances, audiences say they wept at the emotion I conveyed and evoked in them. In the end, impact is what matters most.
@arpeggio1358: What is your agenda? To purge the world of crossover artists? As far as I know, Jenkins has not claimed to be an opera singer, nor did I say so claim. In fact, I said she was NOT even a wannabe. Seems odd that an opera purist like you relies upon Wikipedia as the arbiter of all things music, but Wiky, like me, points out Jenkins has classical credentials. With your Masters degrees, you choose to work as a seamstress. Do you really insist Jenkins' music degree be in performance?
Ave verum corpus natum Des Maria virgine Vere pasum inmolatum In cruce prohomine Cujus latus perforatum Fluxit aqua et sanguine Esto nobis prae gustatum In mortis examine
Vocal music friends, sorry for overparticipating, here's my last word on this video: Forget what the performers look like, what they're wearing, the venue, and the orchestra. Close your eyes. Just listen with the mechanism of your hearing that connects with your soul, instead of just your critical ear (ultimately, how it moves you is all that counts). Be truthful. Isn't it some of the most beautiful three-and-a-half minutes of sound of your life in the last year? If so mission accomplished.
A reminder that there really is beauty in this world. I'm deeply moved.
Wonderful !! Bryn has a voice like a magnificent waterful , and Katherine is stunning . A terrific combination , and a beautiful piece .
Stupenda esecuzione,bravi,bravi,bravi.
Beautiful! Absolutely astounding arrangement
I've been listening to this over and over again- absolutely beautiful! Go Bryn and Katherine!!!
Did she not learn her lessons well, now we have her a moment in time, what a beautiful performance. Love this.
Exquisite ! As for all the stupid, petty comments, the only thing I read into this, apart from its superb quality, is the mutual respect and affection of the singers. Thank you both for one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

I had never heard of Katherine Jenkins until I discovered this video. She is indeed a beautiful woman with a dynamite voice to match.
She's the mezzo of the masses from Wales, my heritage also.
Music of the heaven. Beautiful
Wonderful performance by both, spellbinding.
Stunningly beautiful
I am enthralled with Bryn Terfel and can't get enough. I'm not familiar with Katherine Jenkins, but she looks beautiful and I enjoyed their voices together.

This has become for me the favorite version of "Ave Verum Corpus". Mozart's is very special, yet, this is more pleasing to me.
Paul Egeness I love Mozart, and I thoroughly agree with you

Katherine and Bryn make a great team!
diva in the best sense! perfect sung! wonderful
Simply beautiful and tender
wow.such a nice voice!!
GREAT! I'm singing this for Festival next week!!!
Beautiful Katherine Jenkins
Wspaniałe głosy,wspaniałe wykonanie.Szacunek
Beautiful song ! Beautiful voices !
Mijn God, hoe mooi !! ben tot in het diepst van mijn ziel geraakt.
Fantastic harmonies, magic voices, if only they were not singing about death, crucifixion, pierced heart like if was a Romeo and Juliet falling in love. Other than total detachment from the true meaning of the text, it is just perfect :-)
Beautiful !!!
So excellent and inspirational
amazing.
Terfel is SO cool! I would TOTALLY lose my composure standing that close to Katherine Jenkins when she's dressed like that, and singing! :-D
perfect. classic+modern in one beutiful voice
I wish I was there. My oh my what a beautiful evening this must have been.
I sometimes wonder if Katherine Jenkins would get less nasty comments had she not been young and pretty.
Why critiscise? It's just a perfect musical piece and they complement each other beautifully!
A wonderful performance from both singers- you make Wales proud. Technical question: why do they use microphones at these events? Do they need them?
Because it is in the open air, rather than a concert hall, & was being recorded.
Ella canta estupendamente, pero Bryn es la perfección y la elegancia personificada cuando canta a duo con alguna soprano.
Breathless... el pelo de punta y los ojos llenos de lágrimas
Rwyn caru hon !!! Rhaid i Katherin a Bryn wneud fwy o deuawdau neu ensemblau💘
hat a charm what elegance
Božský zpěv obou pěvců. Jedním slovem nádhera.
Aurora Perez el bajo barítono al que te refieres es Bryn Terfel, gales y para mi gusto de lo mejor en el panorama operistico actual.Un saludo

Какая красивая дивчина исполняет прекрасную композицию...
hermoso dúo de una mezzo con un bajo-barítono
I Always considered Mozarts' Ave Verum the most beautiful, but hearing this one I am not so sure anymore......
@ErdbeereRot
"Ave verum corpus" means "Hail the true body," so her outfit is VERY appropriate! I look at Katherine's form and say, "God is great!"
Buenisima interpretacion.
"Great voices, great performance. Esteem." Whoever said this is spam, doesn't know Polish. Dziękuję, Bartłomiej.
Actually Katherine is singing with bryn. It was his concert so he invited her to sing.
Perfecto

Deus abençoe voces.
lindissimo emocionante
Velmi krásná hudba
I love it when she sings "Bring me to life", but this song was also good! =)
please anyone could publish the version of this with terfel and keenlyside, i can't see from italy the one published... thank you!
Trust me, you're not the only to cringe at Katherine Jenkins' voice.

Katherine's a mezzo-soprano, and a mezzo is actually a female baritone!
Maravillosa interpretación de Katherine Jenkins pero ¿conoce alguien el nombre del bajo-baritono que la acompaña?
Aurora Perez Se llama Bryn Jones, mejor conocido como Bryn Terfel, "estrella de opera" (opera star).
This is my favourite version of Ave Verum - but can anyone help??
I would like a version without the clapping at beginning and end - and I don't know how to edit. Could someone post an edited version.???
Be very grateful if I could have.
thanks.
Stunning...and the music was good, too.
Não precisava nem saber cantar né cachoeira com essa lindeza toda né ,vai ser linda nem sei aonde....
Wonderful performance! Don't know why people are so critical. But I'm wondering - why is her tongue blue?
@arpeggio1358: Re: Jenkins appeal, I noted her "looks" as in her eyes and way, not the look of her bosom. Groban is closer to a lyric baritone than a true tenor.

Are Karl Jenkins and Katherine Jenkins family? I can't find it so.
This is the genre I like her voice in....Sacred or Opera-ish. *****
I die KATE !

just google ave verum, it is a very ancient hymn. It's all over the place.
