Oh, how I wish that big beautiful organ in the background had been used for this. I had the privilege of singing this once to a large organ and on the last verse, the organist opened up the big pipes and literally shook the building. This performance, however, is immaculate. The choir is perfectly balanced, no individual voices standing out, the German is very good. Overall vocal discipline is superior. The pianist is also fantastic. Very expressive and balanced playing.

Ja, bitte:, , Verleih uns Frieden gnädiglich.." Bitte! Dona nobis pacem!
Danke für dieses wunderschöne Lied! Viele Grüße und bleiben Sie alle behütet und hoffnungsstark und voller Gewissheit, dass Gott mitgeht! Immer!

Beeindruckende Performance und eine tolle Aussprache! Herzlichen Dank!

[benjaminniemczyk]

Beautiful performance, sensitive and true to the composer. The German is pretty good, too, certainly very high for a collegiate choir. Bravi to all.

Dit is zo wonderschoon gezongen(NL) Das hier ist so wunderschön gesungen(D). This has so wonderfully been sung. I'd wish this sound for my choir. And how excellent is the pronounciation of the German text. And apart from the music: we need this prayer so much.

A beautiful piece of music performed exquisitely.

[edwinstar]

Wow what a polished sound, young, disciplined singers, great sound. Thank you

[balkanhills]

Nice positive singing, but is it a cappella?

[Joggelschorsch]

Good effort on the German! Don't know who taught you to pronounce gnädiglich... but otherwise really great. Good sound, as well
