Seems to be very pedagogic for all singers wanting to sing this type of music! And for all of us wanting to learn more about this music. I myself can only enjoy at home, listening to all these lovely voices.

The self discipline required by all to produce these beautiful sounds is breathtaking.

The embellishments by the 1st soprano at the end of the Misere were riveting...

I would like to say a deepest thank you from my heart. I was listening on Spotify to a Tudor music list with my earphone and suddenly a heavenly rendition of veni creator spiritum bursted in. I've listen to early music for a long time and especially this old gegorian chant for too many times. Yet the first few seconds have already convinced me that this time, it is something unusual, when I took my phone out of my pocket I saw the name: The sixteen. Artistry and musicality always speak for themselves. I think you are one of the best, if not the best, choir ensemble with highest artistic standard. You deserve more attentions! Thank god, I am so blessed to hear all these unworldly masterpieces.

a sublime treat to see this programme twice in London this season, and to watch the Liverpool concert (far too) many times on this channel. The Allegri in the Spanish Church last week could not have been bettered.

Lovely to see St John the evangelist church being used for this enjoyed singing in the choir as chorister there

Puff, el "Me gusta" se queda corto en este caso. Falta el "Me encanta" de facebook. Muchas felicidades por este maravilloso e ilustrativo trabajo.

The 1st Soprano sounds just like my own daughter Jaime--deeply moving! Soaring lyricism!

I bought the CD about a month ago, beautiful singing and very calming too.

[@suem6004]

What CD name?

[@catrionaritchie6001]

I don't recognise the top soprano as having sung with The Sixteen in concerts I've seen. She has a wonderful voice - what's her name?
