You will have to ask the funeral service😂😂😂😊❤😢

[@Ploren8778]

Yo he pensado lo mismo!

[@iainstevenson6658]

My mother was a keen amateur opera contralto. I am told she hummed this to me in my crib. I now play the melody on my guitar and frame a silent orison.

[@carloshumphrey1]

I might be totally wrong and I welcome comments about this. We are a group of classical music fans, but not musicians, although I have read several biographies on composers. But isn't A.L Weber's Pie Jesus strongly influence by Faure's Requiem "Pie Jesus?" Different instrumentation, soprano's tempo and pitch? The other day we were listening to Faure's Requiem, and then in the playlist Weber's Pie Jesus came up. One of my friends commented that, although similar, this must have been a more modern version. Since we were not familiar with Weber's Pie Jesus, I checked and it was by Weber's. Any cements against or in favor will be welcomed. Thanks.

[@eponawarrior7492]

Weber is known for uh..."sampling"...music by other composers. So if you hear similarities it's not surprising. There's even bits of Pink Floyd in stuff he's written. It's a bit of a controversy in the musician world.

Un vibrato excessif

[@franca-mariaalongi8064]

[@popcornmaskinen84]

Where is this? What concert hall or opera house is this?

[@josedolcefarniente5635]

La grande salle de la Philarmonie de Paris

[@HillaryLinnea]

Coughing should be illegal at concerts. Just sayin - sorry.

[@alisonmoar8423]

Or wait until the piece is over/take sweets to suck.

[@ptalch]

Once at the opera the doors closed, lights turned off and in this moment the most annoying scratching in my throat ever started. I tried to suppress but it kept on for 5 minutes and made me caugh more or less loud with nearly every breath. Pure horror for me, pure fun for my friends....I felt so guilty.....

[@cunhasofia]

I completely agree, I'm a musician and when I feel like coughing during a concert, I prefer to hold it in as much as possible, because when I'm on stage it bothers me

[@Explorations84]

If I was to list my top 5 pieces, this in there alongside New World Symphony, Green Sleeves, Gymnopedie No.1 & Moonlight Sonata.

way too much vibrato

[@jbut1208]

For you! I can cope! She is very good!

[@hengshouhuinaomiwangshouhu7937]

Yea, true

[@theplaneshift]

She is fantastic, but yes: agreed.

[@elenalouiserichmond2206]

Yes a lot of vibrato but the sweetness of her voice is incomparable

[@BiankyGirl]

I love her vibrato. There’s some that are too heavy handed with it.

[@aram5642]

How can one even sing this piece as if it were an opera solo?! (That she sings out of tune, is a different story)

[@josedolcefarniente5635]

In my opinion, Devieilhe uses here a vibrato that is not appropriate for this sacred aria, but I wouldn’t call her singing ‘operatic’. She has a great experience in this kind of repertoire thanks to her long collaboration with the Pygmalion Ensemble directed by her husband, the great specialist in baroque music Raphaël Pichon, and cannot be considered ignorant of the words of this moving supplication. Maybe she is adapting her vocal style to the great dimensions of the Auditorium, which isn’t either appropriate for the intimacy and serenity of this work.

[@aram5642]

@@josedolcefarniente5635 The vibrato makes it all sound even more out of tune. With the experience comes some sort of artistic responsibility.

[@HuguesTalbot]

This is Gabriel Fauré, not a baroque piece. A historically informed performance demands significant vibrato.

[@aram5642]

@@HuguesTalbot "demands"?

[@josedolcefarniente5635]

I think vibrato is something that has to do with words as much as with the artistic period. In this case we hear a pious, serene and sweet prayer for eternal rest, and I think it should be sung with a kind of almost humble simplicity in which a "romantic" vibrato does not fit well. If you listen to the exquisite versions of Kathleen Battle and Barbara Bonney available on KZbin, you can appreciate the appropriateness of that sweetness and simplicity. But, anyway, I also like this performance by Sabine Devieilhe.

[@johnojvind7641]

Very simple lyrics but still reading from a text book, not respecting her aduience with lazy rehearsal.

[@MadsCaspersen]

She is probably looking at the timing and notes

[@johnojvind7641]

@@MadsCaspersen Happy guess, I suppose. She, as the typical classical trained singer, just doesn´t care about her audience, not taking the time memorize such simple things.

[@ken-gd5508]

@@johnojvind7641 It is common practice to use music for sacred/oratorio works. It is not laziness because you can hear the time she put in her interpretation and the nuances of the music that she has so clearly achieved. This is not an opera so there is no use in putting on a show for the audience like you so desperately ask for. The point is in the music, not a showy and shallow performance.
