The Sixteen: a new version of Allegri's Miserere

I've never seen/heard this suing by women before and it's wonderful.

Having had the privilege of singing these much loved top C's as a chorister in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, how sad it that we focus on merely one side of the beauty of this piece, whilst totally missing the entire point of the composition and indeed the composer's intent; to convey repentance, regarding our ignoring of God and seeking profound reconciliation with our creator, which comes through Jesus. That is the whole point of the piece and fundamentally why it is so profound and evocatively relevant to us today. Sadly I fear we miss the original intent of the composer, worshipping musicianship and music and missing the whole point. The truth of Psalm 51 is actually what fundamentally makes this piece a most beautiful and powerfully relevant piece of today.   

Amazing performance of an inspiring masterpiece

awwww it was in interview!... too bad, I wanted to hear the music, not the man talking in between!.

Stupendo.. Bravissimi.

Not of this World!

unwordly and beyond words annie

Ridiculous! The supposed reasons for destroying this piece have no basis in historical record, but are entirely fabricated by a pompous musician seeking notoriety. Sickening and disgusting really.

STUNNING!!AMAZING!!LOVELY!!PEACEFUL!!TRANQUILL!!FROM(U.K.).

Sure, take out the simplicity that made it genius and replace it with frivolity. Noob!

Truly fantastic and heavenly . Not of this Earth

interesting how even here, a well-established, highly acclaimed professional choir manages to drop pitch

It is confession set to music.

Really interesting bit of music history. Thank you. The distant quartet seems to be the idea incorporated by Tenebrae's 2018 version.

I got very nervous listening to the new version but I will try to give it another listen.

It is confession set to music. I am awed every time I hear it

PLEASE I REALLY NEED THE EMAIL OF THIS GREAT CHOIR OR POSSIBLY MAESTRO HARRY CHRISTOPHERS. I LOVE THIS GROUP

I want to hear the music, without the interview......

Magnificent🎵

this nigga pops in like we wana hear wtf he says lmao

AH !!! SO VERY BEAUTIFUL INDEED !!! THANKS FOR THE POST !! FROM U.K.

This piece is right up there with the Tallis "Spem in Alium." And they sang it with 14, not 16.

The answer to the question what is the difference between making music for a label and money. and making music for a higher purpose the answer is in this beautiful arrangement.

Allegi

Ah Europe! Of for the return of the top C of your culture!

Does anybody know the name of the soprano in the distance choir? Such a heavenly voice! I´d very like to hear more of her.

You do not understand what you hear is what the conductor composer wanted you to hear!. This group have total control of their voices - foe me what seena a mistake to you is in fact my highlights!

I have had the wonderful experience of hearing The Sixteen perform this in Winchester Cathedral. A truly beautiful piece, sung perfectly.

salah satu choir terbaik dunia
greetings from Indonesia

Ben is like the Einstein of music.

This eighteen century Sistine chapel masterpiece is breathtaking beautifully performed.
