Tenebrae Factae Sunt (Gesualdo) The Gesualdo Six at Ely Cathedral

[@individualisttv9247]

Gesualdo is in my opinion one of thegreatest composers of all time. Just incredible

[@golden-63]

Gesualdo is absolutely unique and this performance is as close to perfection as is humanly possible. Bravi tutti!

[@vyvianspipes]

The angelic voices and the incredible acoustics of the cathedral were meant to be together! What a group for such a hall!!!

[@asimong]

This is so well tuned I can often hear the overtones! Superb!

[@Lemrabish]

Fabulous - just learning about them in a book im reading and wow. so insightful - thank you for this comment.

[@Lemrabish]

This group blows my mind! INCREDIBLE

Bravissimi ❤

[@larikipe940]

This is so fabulous it hurts.

[@TaylorLSexton]

If you want a worshipful spiritual experience, while listening, follow along with a good Latin/English translation. The way Gesualdo sets this text is truly remarkable.

[@88Ed1962]

Gorgeous!!

Amazingly tensed music in an astounding place. I could imagine that it might be fun to sing in Ely Cathedral.

[@dididoo]

Quite incredible!! I'd like to sing there myself. I know Ely well.Never thought of trying out the accoustics as walking through. My parents lived 30 mins away. But here where I live in the centre of France, I've an Abbatiale nearly as big, 2 mins away on foot so I go there to sing. I've always sung in churches nearby, then I don't annoy the neighbours as itt can easily go on for 3 hours. Thankyou so much, your voices and music really touched my sou.

[@Jimbowinch]

Stunningly beautiful!

[@rexdog6590]

That's great, but what do you think about the singing?

[@aaroneiler6276]

i wonder if they are in tune with some of the organ pipes. The resonance of this cathedral almost sounds like an organ.

[@ssbphotography]

As much as the vagaries of the human voice often stubbornly resist the theoretical ideals of the Renaissance, this performance transcends.

[@jonathanreed4486]

Perfect in Lady Chapel.

[@francoislebedel4428]

Superbe.

[@rlee2801]

Brought to you by the fine folks at Ely

[@jnathanj883]

This (and by this I mean this and everything else I've had privilege of hearing, of Owain Park and the Gesualdo Six) is as good as it gets. There's no post-production fakery, and every century's music is cast in the mold of its time. Ok. Well, I'm off to find the portal that lets me support them by buying a few CD's . . .

[@solcarzemog5232]

This is VERY GOOD!

[@lucreciaemeterioperez6427]

Hola

[@Ai_Scape]

[@mariahelenastracke9760]

As terminações das frases musicais são impecáveis.

[@darrinsiberia]

Gesualdo truly wanted to explore the possibilities of harmony within the human voices. And thus the harmony capable between humans. Yes he murdered but his penance was healing through music.

[@hgburgin]

This is it.

[@cantusfirmusbecker7825]

Sie sind einfach sehe gut! Die Daumen nach unten verstehe ich nicht. Es kann eigentlich nur der blanke Neid sein. Viel Glück und Erfolg weiterhin!

[@katherinelazar4990]

Will this ever be on Spotify?

Tenebrae factae sunt, dum crucifixissent Jesum Judaei: et circa horam nonam exclamavit Jesus voce magna: Deus meus, ut quid me dereliquisti? Et inclinato capite, emisit spiritum. Exclamans Jesus voce magna ait: Pater, in manus tuas commendo spiritum meum. Et inclinato capite, emisit spiritum. (Darkness fell when the Jews crucified Jesus: and about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice: My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And he bowed his head and gave up the ghost. Jesus cried with a loud voice and said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And he bowed his head and gave up the ghost.)
