Mozart was invited for supper by a senior Cardinal at the Vatican. As a token of appreciation he wrote two vespers for the Cardinal , this being one. I have always loved this piece. Beautiful 🎼🎼🎼

[@kathleenann631]

Thks for the history. Lucky cardinal!

Thanks for the history behind this great composition, Mr. Danvers- Colquhoun. It's a wonderful composition. Very well performed & very satisfying performance.

[@ManuCel_]

Really good trivia. I usually write little pieces for some friends of mine in occasions, birthdays, weddings

[@gigodotbernard9368]

Cardinal Bergoglio ?

[@peterhutchins9246]

Probably the most beautiful piece of music ever written.

Sono d'accordo... è commovente

She has truly got a gift as singer, so wonderful to listen, God give her a great future

[@anthonygaynor8785]

I sang this as a solo boy soprano (treble) some sixty years ago. It gives me enormous joy to hear young people singing so well. Marvellous music transcends time. Thank you

Incredible, Anthony! I'm sure you sounded equally, incredible. Thank you!

@@marcoantonioingaruca6531 yes, she has an extraordinaly beautiful pure special voice. And so young. The choir is great as well. Was doing some comparisons even with Known, established singers but she grabbed me the most immediately. Thank you.

Warto żyć, kiedy słyszy się wielką muzykę w doskonałym wykonaniu. Brawo Tal Katsir (soprano). Głos piękny, wspaniały.

[@gordywestmids]

What a delight to hear such wonderful young voices.

[@jameswyburd]

Utterly magnificent, with heart and soul far beyond a professional recording. Yet she probably never realised or thought it, and went off to supper afterwards wondering if she might be late.

[@DavidNesbit_theTHINKER]

Always come back to this performance by the college students. Sublime!

[@Mack6234]

A beautiful, sublime performance. One of the best I have heard. Truly enchanting.

[@johnshares444]

Best performance ever ever ever ever and ever

[@allangreen4492]

Sublime! Beautifully sung by Tal Katsir in a pure and gorgeous voice with hardly any vibrato. This is the finest version I have heard. Warmest thanks.

[@gooseberrydell8095]

"Finest version I have ever heard." ..Amen to that. The Holy Spirit does not take prisoners when it comes to delivering Light to despair. ..Excellent version.

[@philwragg9756]

excuse me but heard her vibrato all the way through!!all the better for it!!

[@davidtinker2143]

There is great choral music, great choirs in a sublime location - rarely are they all together. This rendition is a classic example when all comes together to make for a sublime performance.

[@francisct9706]

What a heavenly and peacefully performance!! God bless you all..

[@DavidNesbit_theTHINKER]

What a truly superb performance by the young choral scholar, Tal Katsir with equally superb backing from the Choir of Somerville College, Oxford, UK. Many thanks for posting such a delightful performance. We look forward to following Tal Katsir as she continues to blossom and grow professionally. A most definite "Subscribe" too.

After the first bit she calmed down and really embraced the acoustics of the space. Very well done. Brava

[@jonathanveale119]

I reckon her initial nervousness and acclimatising to the acoustics added to the occasion. Great, isn't it!

[@bayoewuola6813]

With this kinda voice here on earth, just imagining how the heaven would look like, with the angels singing! Hallelujah

[@joelnoirot6159]

This young soprano is really gifted, she is at the level of the greatest on this masterpiece from Mozart and from heaven, I hope we'll hear from her.

[@karennoble1168]

Yes, Joel, thats exactly how i felt, yes, at the level of the greatest ones!

[@chriswalker9964]

Really? I found her vibrato to be a little too shaky, and she’s just slightly off pitch in certain spots.

[@karennoble1168]

@@chriswalker9964 i wish i had such fine ears as yours, to discern more nuances. i just found her voice moving my soul, heart in a special way even if not perfect.

[@chriswalker9964]

Karen Noble fair enough, she certainly isn’t terrible and a musician certainly doesn’t have to be perfect to be effective. I think Beethoven once said “a mistake is nothing, playing without passion, that’s unforgivable”.

[@karennoble1168]

@@chriswalker9964 thank you, how true what Beethoven said. I think another composer or pianist said somehing along such true line too. She is also very young, a student, maybe a bit nervous but my feeling is that she is gifted, cares and puts her soul into this so lovely piece. My best to you in 2020!
