Chanticleer performs Rachmaninoff's 'Bogoroditse Devo' at the Cathedral of St. Paul

[@TheJesusFreeke]

One of my favorites we *attempted* in college. This rendition is so astonishingly perfect!

[@barbaraboeckman1510]

The most breathtaking performance with men’s voices I’ve ever heard! 🙏💙🙏 Thank you!

[@Sunny-pr1qw]

I love Chanticleer, have since I first heard them perform for some school kids in 1984. Got to hear three of their classical performances after that. What a beautiful perfect blending of voices they have always had....so grateful for you in this world.

[@Yatlick]

This is not the sound I was expecting from Chanticleer... I've heard hundreds of performances of this piece in the last 20 years, but this may be my favorite. Absolutely stunning.

[@theonlycontessa]

Wow! Thank you all so much, we are performing this soon. Jan 2020

[@LimerickSham1]

Ive listen to this many times and sung it as first tenor. This is by far one of the best renditions Ive heard. wow!

[@eclair9]

Absolutely magnificent.

Brought me to tears. Divine, no matter what you believe.

Богородице, Дево, радуйся, Благодатная Мария, Господь с тобою. Благословенна ты в женах, И благословен плод чрева твоего, Яко Спаса родила еси душ наших. (for RUS) (Я устал, но я не сдаюсь)

Exquisite and nourishing! 🙏🏻❤️ Cathedral of St. Paul. Can someone please give more reference? I have attended the Cathedral of St. Paul, MN, USA. Thank you.

Nice bass at the end

Where is Eric the monster Alatorre???

[@joshywashy3453]

Paulo Thiago Randes Farias He resigned from Chanticleer.

[@davidpulanco2715]

He retired. After 28 years of being the foundation, the baton has been passed to Andy Berry. He's an amazing singer and guy to work with.

Are these talented gentlemen Orthodox?

[@yogoon49]

lolllllllll on est bien entre homme, on peut tout faire, meme des voix ultra haute

[@NicholasKuhne]

Can you actually get better than this? Pity about the clapping ruining a perfectly good acoustic.

[@AanSihotang]

Too much heavy vibrato

[@alexandergroppe448]

Everybody's a critic. How about you go out there and show everyone all how it's done.

[@Yatlick]

Disagree. This is one piece where a healthy vibrato is absolutely essential. Without the vibrato the climax is sanitized, devoid of emotion.

[@micahblauer777]

@@Yatlick Not true.

[@evelynap9728]

No Aan : a man who sings the Soprano is alloud to sing like this, or better: he must sing like this plus: this is Chanticleer !!!🧡

[@michaeldoyle6702]

Wow. Absence of the Orthodox idiom entirely. Lots of vibrato. No bass. Check out the choirs from Eastern Europe and Russia, available on youtube. The National Academic Choir of Ukraine account and the version by the USSR Ministry of Chamber Choir are sublime. An amazing recording with Robert Shaw and the Shaw Festival Singers is an American account with stunningly rich and disciplined singing.

[@Operaandchant90]

...I wonder where you get the notion that eastern orthodox music has no vibrato?

[@MaTi2299]

I think the lack of bass is due to the recording quality. I wish they had studio version.

[@johnhudelson2652]

@@MaTi2299 That group simply doesn't have any oktavists. Recording quality has.nothing to do with not hearing low pitch singers: the recording can lack the fundamental frequencies and still the listener can still hear the pitch from the higher harmonics present.
