Notice the "social distancing" in effect at the time this was recorded, probably 2021.

Let's remember who it was who conjured all this up: Benjamin Britten! What a man!

And to think that some lunatic of a non-artistic Master has got rid of it. Let's hope her days are numbered at St John's.

God luck. Surely your university has money enough to retain the choir as well as exploring other types of music for the college/ students. New traditions don't mean the old ones have to go nor that they can't be part of the story. Please put more of your music on KZbin. Thank you radio for featuring the choir today.

I would have preferred boys & or or girls singing the work. This choir has one or two singers with vibrato, which marrs the effect.

Vienna Bous Choir with vibrato. However, I understand the point you are making. They should have smoothed the vibrato

Competently sung, but a travesty. This is for boys' voices. Trebles can't sing Casta Diva properly; sopranos cannot sing this properly.

It is beautiful. It's just different. What is not 'proper' about it?

@jonb4020 Жыл бұрын

@@angelastrach9452 Try imagining a boy singing Casta Diva, then you'll understand what "proper" means in the context I used the word. Some things are meant to be sung by boy trebles, some by female sopranos. That is not to denigrate the ability of any good singer(s) of either gender, of course, who may sing a work. Have you ever heard Erlkoenig sung by a woman, and felt that it was right? Have you ever heard Liebestod sung by a tenor and felt that it worked?

Britten's 'A Ceremony of Carols' was originally conceived for women's voices, and given its first broadcast on the BBC Home Service in January 1943 by the same female ensemble who gave the first live performance.

@@simonevandenheuvel3354 Whilst not denying your basic point, there is more to it. Britten revised his opinion after the first performance, possibly hearing in it something akin to what we hear here, and, as he also knew how boys' voices sounded, deciding that they were far better suited to the concept. I think if you look around KZbin for other versions, you will maybe accept the validity of my first point. But if not, well, we are all entitled to our views, and I wish you and yours a happy new year!
