[@ltb1919]

You have made my morning. Five times. I need to stop listening & get on with my day!

[@SweatLaserXP]

Fantastic performance, beautiful singing

[@transientimages]

Those final " di mille mort " are absolutely heavenly.

[@fernandodemiguelez6345]

Wow! The Soprano and Alto have the sweetest and most beautiful timbre ever. I had never heard such lovely vibrato in this style. Downtown Quartet> PLEASE post more clips like this!!! Count me in as your super fan! We want more! Love from México 😍.

[@ianpaterson6070]

The pleasure this has given me! It was new to me,so I listened to the many renderings. This is the best by a good margin.

[@haraldklussmann8637]

Please keep singing. This is absolutely beautiful.

Here are the lyrics: Il bianco e dolce cigno cantando more, ed io piangendo giung' al fin del viver mio. Stran' e diversa sorte, ch'ei more sconsolato ed io moro beato. Morte che nel morire m'empie di gioia tutto e di desire. Se nel morir, altro dolor non sento, di mille mort' il di sarei contento And the english translation: The white and sweet swan dies singing, and I, weeping, reach the end of my life. Strange and different fate, that he dies disconsolate and I die a blessed death, which in dying fills me full of joy and desire. If in dying, were I to feel no other pain, I would be content to die a thousand deaths a day.

Is it describing sex?

[@norbertpall9534]

@@조한나-f3q U figured it out all by yourself?:D I mean seriusly. As far as i can remember,this song is about sex or orgazm but i never recognised. I just read its about sex. well done

You are wonderful ! I love how Arcadelt created this pure example of Renaissance counterpoint. Your interpretation is superbe, your sound is clean, pure and vibrant..your sound elevate our soul

[@yvonnehartman1823]

So beautiful it sent chills down my spine

[@wouterlucassen9299]

A beautiful and moving performance of this highly sensual Arcadelt song!

[@warsimulationgames1112]

Impressed! I would love to hear other works of the Renaissance in your performance

[@johnjowett4412]

Such beautiful music and so beautifully sung

[@norbertpall9534]

4 years and still 1 of my favourites

[@whhswhhs]

Most wonderful...beautiful singing...thank you.

[@crisha721]

Wow! Beautiful ensemble! Loved it

[@FriendofBill-2005]

Gorgeous. I sang this beautiful piece back in the 80's, and you did a fantastic job.

[@andreacateni548]

...from Tuscany: beautiful performance, excellent pronunciation!

[@danawinsor1380]

Bravo to the soprano for holding that final note to the end! I believe it's four (or is it five?) measures. I for one consider "Il bianco e dolce cigno" to be the most beautiful of all madrigals.

[@bettystiegler1702]

Goosebumps

[@tasarheddle]

Just splendid! How beautiful your blend is!

[@kimsingu]

So unbelievable...!!! This is a voice from the heaven...

[@gundifreitag6813]

That was absolutely beautiful!

[@antoynebeaucheminroy9197]

One of my favorites if all time. Great interpretation.

[@popswhippersnapper9629]

This sparkling and superbly recorded version with easily-understood SATB parts is great fun to sing along with - so far the neighbors haven't complained!

[@encompass6857]

Carried me away to angelic realms

[@chewyduck1355]

I love theMuffs, the New Pornographers, Elvis Costello,Metric and the list goes on. But it's when I listen to music like this that my soul soars and I feel on the edge of tears I am so moved. Absolutely amazing.

[@Falk_René_Skamiera]

honestly, i haven't listened to "popular" music for a while and i no longer want to go back to it i played a bit of pop on the piano today and listend to a bit of metal and rock and i found it revolting it is like filth

[@mariajosealvarez1180]

Bravooo!!

[@stephenhall3515]

Wonderful clarity of the parts.

[@stephankiener6640]

Unbeliveably beautiful!! More of this, please!

[@radhiyavangobel6191]

i used to sang this with my choir friends and the fact that sorpan lady could hold that 16 beat all by herself is amazing for my weak soprano voice lol:(

[@emilnikolov2613]

That's not that difficult. You need to train your diaphragm technique, in order to increase your breath flow. Good luck!

[@_nyxs]

I like it!! Thanks!

[@grandplans]

Very beautiful

[@marcofaldetta]

The words are beautiful. And they have a very interesting pun! Do you know what it is?

amazing, Harry potter has become a madrigalist

[@maugarlo]

Love it from Malaga!

[@jessicamustain541]

This is great, I just don’t like how wide the soprano is with her vowels... if she were a little taller with them this would be so so perfect

[@coronaaustralis2655]

Awesome! Thank you! :)

[@flightsoffancy9722]

Beautiful! Was this recorded in the big cathedral in downtown Reykjavik?

[@sunnakareneinarsdottir5090]

Thank you! No, it’s in Skálholt - South Iceland.

[@basicguy1726]

The first time I listened, I thought the soprano sung her Final note from 1:58 until the end (Which I thought was pretty impressive!). But when I listened a second time, I had the impression she "cheated" at 2:04? Or am I wrong? 😆

[@eybram6803]

Can I use this for my Project.I'll put the link on my description

[@sunnakareneinarsdottir5090]

Yes :-)
