I think this must be my favourite piece of all time!

[maurorocca]

Questo Magnificat è stato scritto da Francesco Durante, uno dei più grandi musicisti di tutti i tempi ed inoltre uno dei massimi rappresentanti della scuola musicale partenopea fucina di genii dello spartito.

This the Heaven and we are singing too with white angels!.

[eileensilverstein]

This is a magnificent version and my personal favorite. I've heard other versions, including the St John's College Cambridge version but to me, boy Sopranos and Altos lack the tonal depth compared with women who sing those parts. This choir is superb.

I sang Pergolesi's Magnificat in high school and hadn't heard it in over 25 years; I feel very fortunate to have finally found it on YouTube.

This is the best version yet - less is more - the minimal orchestra allows the soloists to be heard without them having to strain and the smaller choir is clearer.

And the less-echo allows the snappier tempo that it needs.

At last, a good version of this under-played, magnificent, short work.

Well done.

I think this is the best performance of this I have ever heard. It took my breath away. Thank you!

[georgealderson]

I understand that there is some disagreement as to the composer and I cannot comment due to ignorance but regardless, this is a magnificent magnificat!
Thank you
Blessings and peace

Es un escandalo de obra y no digo que un día no me llegue a cansar, pero de momento no me cansa y la he escuchado muchísimas veces.

If you want to hear a truly superior rendition of the tenor-bass duet "Suscepit Israel", of timeless quality, check out the 1966 rendition by Ian Partridge and Christopher Keyte, part of a recording of the Magnificat by King's College Choir, Cambridge (available on Youtube, incorrectly ascribed to St. Johns College choir).

[sjli]

Muy bien en general, pero muy falto de tenores. En la pieza final "Sicut erat in principio" a penas se les escucha en algunas partes en que se les tiene que escuchar bien porque llevan la melodía principal. Hay también un poco de descoordinación a mitad de esa pieza final entre voces y músicos, pero se entiende ya que es una parte muy compleja.

Ce magnificat n'est pas de Pergolèse mais de Francesco Durante.!

[derekstuartclark]

This piece isn't scored with violas so why is there a violist on the cellist's right? And what is she playing? Sometimes doubling the bassline, sometimes (not) doubling the 2nd violin!

[whatwhywhoify]

This is not Pergolese's but Durante's Magnificat.

[ensemblevocalviamusica]

c'est le magnificat de Durante et pas de Pergolese

if you are not absolutely confident and know from the deepest part of your knowing the pitch and note from the first moment you will be lost from beginning to end. Pergolesi is awesome but you must know it memorize it or go home. there is hesitation here they almost may have it. but not yet.
