MAGNIFICAT - Nidarosdomens jentekor & TrondheimSolistene

Video from the recording of Kim André Arnesen's MAGNIFICAT released by 2L on Hybrid SACD + Pure Audio Blu-ray, featuring 9.1 Auro-3D in addition to 5.1 surround and stereo. Nominated for the 58th GRAMMY Awards 2015 "Best Surround Sound Album".
The Magnificat is the Virgin Mary’s song of praise to God after one of the Bible’s greatest wonders: the angel Gabriel visiting her with the message that she is to be the mother of God’s son. In his setting Kim André Arnesen expresses the feelings Mary must have felt: wonder, devotion, gratitude, joy, humility, hope and compassion. God’s selection of an unknown woman living in poverty to be the mother of His son is a bottom-up view of the world if ever there was one - and Arnesen sees the Magnificat as offering support and hope for all people struggling against adversity or in need of strength.
Musica Celestis portrays the ceaseless praising of God by angels in heaven. Aaron Jay Kernis builds his work around a fairly simple melody which he remoulds in a series of variations.
The intensely beautiful and mostly barren Hardangervidda mountain plateau inspired Ola Gjeilo to write Tundra, while his Song of the Universal expresses unabashed optimism, exuberance and poet Walt Whitman’s unwavering confidence in our deeper humanity - all through the prism of a big, warm, beating heart.

The most beautiful thing that I have ever heard in my life

[@fermild3954]

I feel sorry for people out there that not found this video...

[@samhyans5403]

One of the most amazing things I've ever listened to in my life.

[@WillemvanWyk]

2020 - just what we need. Silence, and this....

[@hireality]

One of the most elegant, exquisite, and beautiful pieces of music of any kind and category that came from my beloved Norway 🇳🇴 (sister county to my homeland 🇸🇪). The captivating. yet so simple, Scandinavian beauty Lise Berg as Tenor alongside “Nidarosdomens jentekor & TrondheimSolistene”

[@johnmartinalde5026]

The voices perfectly blended. It is a foretaste of what the choir of angels in heaven would sound like.

[@davidschneider3790]

One of the most beautiful pieces ever written, with one of the most gorgeous performances!! Thank you!!

[@Pequin1000]

Sounds like love.

[@Aureus2011]

«Et misericordia eius in progenies et progenies timentibus eum» (And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation) Lc 1,50. In my opinion this hymn shows the beauty of God's mercy better than any learned scriptures... is so pure, sublime... full of God's love and hope❤

[@nojerruof]

Magnificence! The soloist, the orchestra, the organist, and most of all, The Nidarosdomen Jentekor- whose sweet, incredible voices evoke a heavenly choir. The single most talented choir on Earth, and possibly, in Heaven itself. My two granddaughters are totally in love with Jentekor. This song and Cradle Hymn are their nightly lullabies. My older granddaughter says, "Their music is so peaceful and calming", to which I add my own comment that even after the worst of days, the sound of the Nidarosdomen Jentekor invariably calms and soothes me! Kudos, bravissimo, Anita Brevik - yours is the soul of music. God's Blessing to you all, Jentekor, you are all quite magnificent! Best regards, Dr. Jon A. Fourre

나는 사진과 같은 괜찮은 오디오 시스템에 괜찮은 전용오디오룸을 가지고 있지만 가장 기쁨을 느낄때는 이런류의 음악을 들을때이다... 거짓말을 조금 보태서 말하자면 저기 교회에 내가 있는 느낌이다. 엄청난 사실감 공간을 가득 채우는 앰비언스 정말 훌륭한 작곡과 연주를 해준 이들과 특이 오디오인으로서 정말 훌륭한 녹음상태를 만들어낸 2L 레이블에 지심으로 감사드린다.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Her beautiful and comfortable singing voice is out of this world, and unrivaled, and indescribable and off the charts

[@yordankaacosta2849]

One of the Bible's passages that speaks to me levels upon levels of meaning. I'm a follower of Arnesen's music. This is sublime.

[@susanflakes6968]

If I listened to anyone else doing this...I would miss her, terribly.. beautiful and eternal...

[@christopher1800]

The entire album “Magnificat” is an absolute thrill... I can honestly say I’ve never heard anything like it. If you have a good surround set (preferably Dolby Atmos 5.1.4 capable, but 5.1 will do as well) and something that can pass the sound through to your AVR, you’ll feel like you’re right there in that church. Goosebumps and tears.

[@erwinkruise-jh3kw]

You're so right....I love it

[@stephaneder996]

111/5000 the most beautiful thing I have heard in the last ten years.

[@hoxtonbonnet2050]

If someone was to ask me what an angel sounds like when she sings, I would tell them to listen to this!

[@eugeniomorais7041]

I start 2021 with this hymn.

[@danielv8727]

Todavía se hacen cosas bellas en este mundo caído.

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

Anita Brevik conducts with her face even, communicating the intensity she wants to hear with her expressions. Great stuff. Now I can go to sleep and have peaceful dreams.

[@enricomedici4609]

Musica divina ....entra nel cuore tra i migliori canti gregoriani

[@redveranga1939]

I want this song to be sang in my funeral mass.
