Tell you what - that audience couldn't be more receptive and respectful. The silence, poise and stillness throughout this performance was cavernously special.

[georgethompson]

That was the longest complete silence after a performance I have ever heard. The audience is to be commended for taking their cue from the piece’s perfectly straight diminuendo finish.

[benodaboy]

That silence at the end where no one wanted it to stunning

[staffanolofsson]

Among all beautiful music in this world this is perhaps the most beautiful? My soul weeps with joy listening to this.

[ericknapp]

my goodness. stunning. incredible talent here. particularly floored by sopranos at 5:45 to sustain with perfect pitch and control
bravo

[christodec]

the original samuel barber adagio for strings in g minor is a mindblowing piece as well but this choral rendition here is sublime

[UkeOne]

This is as beautiful a performance of this fine work as you can get. The voices are absolutely stunning; the balance and blend are total perfection; the diction and clarity of pronunciation is outstanding as well. It also shows that one does not need to hear this from a larger chorus of singers, as the 'full effect' here is displayed in all its musical intent. Combining these two wonderful groups was a wonderful idea, and more of this collaboration between VOCES8 and VOKETT HANOVER would be totally welcomed and a real treat. Samuel Barber himself would indeed be pleased with this outstanding performance, that is quite certain.

[shawnhampton]

Surely one of the most difficult pieces and one of the most glorious. Barber was very smart to have created this choral setting. I cannot imagine a finer performance. Sublime.

[stevea]

Easily one of the finest choral performances on

[robertfussey]

Barber’s Adagio is my all time favourite piece of music, particularly as written for strings, but these singers have put it to another level. Truly, truly beautiful.

[stephanbuchner]

Ich bin sprachlos....
Es ist mit Worten nicht auszudrücken, was dieser Gesang in mir auslöst

[tinafarrar]

I'm so used to this being performed by instruments, but having it sung by angels 😇 will do!

[elizabethenriquez]

Yes l am a 72 yr old & l love your voices!!! 100 percent, l want this music at my funeral, it reaches my heart ♥️.

[martini]

I will probably never meet any of you in this world, but whoever you are, thank you for your beautiful singing, which has renewed my faith in God. God bless you.

[sheogorath]

To perform this piece so exquisitely with just 16 voices is absolutely incredible, im floored

[andredejongh]

Breathtaking beautiful, can't stop crying. I wish I could see them live. 😢❤❤🕊🕊🙏

[ianhendra]

The very definition of ethereal...thanks...Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace....just like this...perhaps..

[lesliewoodhull]

Absolutely stunning… No one hears this work without remembering the London Symphony performing this as a tribute to the victims of 9/11. What a magnificent rendition.❤

welch eine Gabe so Singen zu können. GänsehautFeeling
