Gabriel Fauré Libera Me (Requiem) Roderick Williams, baryton

[DarthCalculus]

Performing this with a regional high school choir was one of the best things that ever happened to me

[petercdowney]

Liberate me, O Lord, from eternal death.

3:02 The comeback of the first theme with the choir monophony always gets me. The buildup to it is perfect and the harmony just goes so well with the lyrics. It truly feels out of this world.

One of my favourite pieces of music. What a beautifully adroit and soulful performance by Roderick Williams. And bravo tutti!

[philippahardy]

One of my favourite baritones, for his clarity of diction, emotional communication and almost invisible immaculate technique.

After the coronation of King Charles, doors opened for me. My grandmother sang Dank sei dir Herr in church, but also at home while doing the dishes. She had a powerful voice. I will never forget when she said to me: There is no greater thing than to sing for the Lord. ❤️

[hyepiazzo]

Wonderful ..this version is best that I have ever listened.

[heathsavage]

Magnificent. Such depth and roundness. Gorgeous.

[coco]

R. Williams's faure 'libera me' is one of my favorite piece.

[alisontaylor]

This is a beautiful rendition of one of my favourite pieces. Roderick does it brilliantly.

[RaoulV-rfbd]

Roderick voice is so beautiful, one of my favorite interpretations ♥️

[cutetigger]

We’re singing this in our school choir on Sunday. I love it.

Most cute version about Liberame Domine. Very well performed, without doubt.

[ifepiankhi]

Wonderful. I put it on my speakers. Glorious

[AlmaBatista]

Beautiful! Which orchestra is this? When and where was this recorded?

[ccflute]

i think it might be recording technique issue, but the baritone and choir and orchestra all sound quite distant. compare these versions where baritone sounds very near.

Do any of these people realise what they're singing?


Deliver me, o Lord, from everlasting death
on that dreadful day
when the heavens and the earth shall be moved
when thou shalt come to judge the world by fire

It sounded like someone asking to borrow his neighbour's lawnmower.
