Amazing!! Much respect! Their voices are absolutely beautiful and not to mention Monteverdis piece of work itself. Wow!

[@risterion]

El Barroco, música divina, sólo podía tener un inicio tan majestuoso como éste. Monteverdi, padre celestial de esos otros demiurgos llamados Bach, Hendel y Vivaldi.

[@davehshs651]

What amazing, sublime music!

[@Rien8888]

Thank you, Claudio Monteverdi, John Gardener and all the great vocalists and musicians. The best version ever!!!

[@Muzicutevechi]

Perhaps the best rendition of a genial masterpice!

[@anarka4]

Maravillosa obra de uno de los grandes del primer barroco. La puesta en escena es estremecedora y el sonido increible

[@Marsyke]

I just watched the whole Vespro from the beginning till the very end and I'm going to listen to it again. I cannot put into words how much I liked this performance. Seeing this live must have been a wonderful experience. Thank you for uploading this piece of beauty.

[@vico1600]

monteverdi è magico.

[@celco77]

I love the woman on the left at 0:51. If only we could all take such delight in our professions!

[@bentleius]

Thank you very much for uploading this!

[@TheAnneelise]

@risterion in fatti, si! La musica divina, del cielo!

[@DRBiblicalMD]

The most incredible sound humans can produce. Magnificent!

[@josey875]

This is one of the best recordings of the Vespers I've listened til now.

[@guidepost42]

This looks like it is a video tape of the original performance in 1610

[@assassini85]

They had no colour back than ;-)

Good one!

[@19Matty36]

E' la bellissima musica per la Santissima Vergine Maria, Madre di Dio!

[@stephanebelizaire3627]

BRAVO !

[@DanielePasini_flute]

Great Monteverdi. I love his music

[@poenasdare]

Simply magnificent.

[@JeanYvesDeyris]

je ne m'en lasserai jamais !

[@leventedomosi7516]

Ezt a felvételt a 2010. - es felvételével sem tudta felülmúlni Gardiner. Csodálatos !

[@RFPresents]

St Mark's Cathedral in Venice is a beautiful backdrop for a Magnificat piece.

[@quizjazz1]

@atistirmafr It's Bryn Terfel. Another evidence of the fact that even opera stars going through choirs first ;))

[@callimacos]

I'm going to see Monteverdi's Vespri in San Marco basilica the 27th of may for the 400 years anniversary! :D

[@margaretlavender9647]

Sincerely hope you enjoyed it. It must have been absolutely magnificent.

[@belkismartin7019]

Magistral!!!! Espléndido!!!🌿

[@codonauta]

@atistirmafr Yes. There are very talented musicians in this performing, in the beggining of their career.

[@EyeLean5280]

@codonauta, too bad, the Magnificat is gorgeous. Still, this is great! Thanks for sharing.

[@greyemerson1]

@freudokimos I can offer this explanation. "VERGINE" is the Italian word which for the whole Catholic world indicates the Mother of God ("The Holy Virgin" or "The Blessed Virgin"). "VIRGINIS" is a latin word in the genitive case (meaning: "of the..."). So, the latin title sounds: VESPERAE BEATAE MARIAE VIRGINIS" = Vespers for the Blessed Virgin.

[@Nacidodelmar]

This is Sublime!

[@bigbeddie]

you obviously haven't read my exhaustive explanation above. The work is in Latin, the title is in Italian. My credentials are impeccable. What is the matter with you. Someone else help with these people please????

[@codonauta]

@MoaiMaea The Upload is done here in the You Tube. It has 11 parts of the DVD.

[@codonauta]

@tayrone2001 No. It is Vergine. Take a look around about the name.

[@codonauta]

Recorded in 1989. I put all information of that recording above, in the information about the video.

[@Brazildope]

i love monteverdi

[@MoaiMaea]

Oh how I wish I could sing like that.

[@kubinko444]

Hello, when was it recorded? This is an impressive video, man can see how difficult it is, and they all sing without scores!! Thats for respect! Thank you for posting!

[@gesualdolistener]

do you really mean that? this was a television- or videoproduction, so it's not the exact acoustics of the church, but hello, this is exactly the place, for which these psalms have been written! What you're saying is, that monteverdi wrote music for a place, that it shouldn't be performed in? do you think he was a moron? i guess, one shouldn't perform bachcantatas in leipzig's thomaskirche too? if the acoustic is too big, it's a problem with the performance and the tempo, not with the location!

[@peterbaettig4837]

Ein Monolith der Musikgeschichte in die Zukunft weisend.Da sind beinahe Überirdische Momente zu finden.

[@Clairebo89]

i'm learning this work in my choir right now and loving it. why do the singers look totally bored in this video? They look like they're totally uninterested and falling asleep!

[@musicotodopodero]

Esta es una excelente versión de las vísperas, a pesar de la antigüedad de la performance. Creo que don Gabriel Garrido deviera mirar esta presentación del Coro Monteverdi, para corregir su pésima dirección, donde se puede apreciar la maestría de Gardiner.

[@tayrone2001]

but the text is latin so the name is latin as well. I have the score and it says "virgine" and one of the pieces is called "Nigra sum" which is latin and not italian. the correct name is Vespro della beata Virgine!

[@codonauta]

@MoaiMaea Yes, I do.

[@codonauta]

O início da obra está no DVD, que pode ser comprado.

[@EriolAB]

who are the solo singers? I believe i spotted a very young bryn terfel singing bass behind the Tenor with the curly hair...

[@MoaiMaea]

Oh and I thought you wrote something about letting out certain parts.

[@MoaiMaea]

While I see the similarities between the two of them I doubt that it’s him since he never was in either of the performing choirs, was he?

[@codonauta]

I didn't do the upload of the entire composition. I cut off some parts, maybe the Magnificat.

[@alexanderbrown1954]

Well, let me add a bit of Latin as my opinion of Gardiner's 'Vespro": NEC PLUS ULTRA EST!!

[@ANCHAESMICASA]

What about the ubiquity of Gardiner? 0:09 :-) Seriously, great performance, i'm in a countdown for next March.

[@matvit6687]

Look, I don't want to quarrel here. If I hadn't meant that, I wouldn't have written my comment. I'm not discussing what premises composers composed their compositions for. In that case, e.g. Gesualdo's madrigals would have to be sung only in prison cells. All I'm asking is, why did a contemporary group of artists record a fairly swift and jolly piece in a slow acoustics. That's all.

[@MoaiMaea]

Do you own said DVD?

[@MoaiMaea]

Which ones? Does 01:00 look "totally bored"?

[@vmnet46]

sorry for my english but...I have not found the Versiculus: Deus in adiutorium meum intende ...

[@cheffings]

Surely the Magnificat is no 9?

[@giavaro36]

Devo questo ascolto al suggerimento del direttore d'orchestra inglese Daniel Harding intervistato da G.Andruetto su 'Robinson' , testata del Corsera del sabato 9 maggio,che parla dalla sua casa a Parigi in lockdown.Non conosco Monteverdi.Ma da un approccio preliminare non mi sembra empatico,almeno a me,che sono appassionato di Bach e Mozart,al massimo Scarlatti nella sua epoca,e soprattutto adoro Vivaldi e naturalmente tutto l' '800.Scusatemi.

[@guidepost42]

is that Bryn Terfel?

[@margaretlavender9647]

Yes.

[@MoaiMaea]

Would you undertake the bothersome work of uploading it for me and others :o ?

[@howardhslee]

듣고보니 좋은 종교음악입니다.

[@atistirmafr]

Is this man Bryn Terfel? In 3:33...

[@matvit6687]

As for performance and tempo - you are right. You can adjust performance and tempo to the acoustics, but then you're risking the piece becoming too long and boring. Listen e.g. to Palestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli. Beautiful piece, church acoustics, slow, rather choral performance. It's lovely, but you'll get bored after a while. Or listen to some performances of Mozart's Requiem. You'll fall asleep! Music can't be sterile. But you won't get a spicy music in every acoustics.

[@codonauta]

The Magnificat is in the end of the composition.

[@taminopatagonico]

La palbra correcta es Vergine. Saludos

[@Samuel-xk2rt]

Otto Maria Carpeaux brought me here!

[@MoaiMaea]

^o^

[@andrenewcomb3708]

You see that guy looking up AT as to why this sounds so good in here (St. Mark's)? stone temple pilots. That's what it's about. Bounce that sound around and help the dark ages be more than hunger, anger, plague, ignorance, fight. People who claim perfect acoustics . . . AREN'T LISTENING.

it is vergine vergine means virgin

[@adrianchye3245]

Who's here from that video with the classical musician and KSI

[@skellez83]

Is there the "Deus in auditorium?!"

[@pieterfoster10]

i wouldnt like to see the comments....

[@EPICURO90]

certo che c'è proprio della gente strana in giro... carina comunque la disamina linguistica tirata a vanti per mesi. Non per riaprirla ma Monteverdi, e non servono grandi enciclopedie per scoprirlo, ha composto il "Vespro della Beata Vergine". è il titolo dell'opera. Poi se uno vuole tradurlo in altre lingue faccia pure. Altro cosa è il fatto che in italiano oggi usualmente si usi dire "recitare i Vespri", ma l'uso della parola Vespro è tuttora invalso in molte zone...

[@kubinko444]

Thank you, I am sorry, I skipped it unfortunately...(have to take galsses)

[@terrapinbear]

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

[@EPICURO90]

*avanti

[@matvit6687]

Lots of praise on this record throughout all 11 parts on KZbin. Full credit to Gardiner and all the artist, esp. the soloists, they're truly awesome voices. HOWEVER! I question the choice of acoustics. This wonderful piece CANNOT be performed in a church! It must be played in a hall with much less echo! St Mark's Cathedral is beautiful but in this particular case it did more good for TV and commerce than for the music. Duo Seraphim is too slow.

[@EyeLean5280]

Unus alio beatus non est.

[@steigleder]

no veo el Deus in adjutorium...

[@rinoconsol]

Claudio gottlichen.... seine modernitat ist grenlenzos,wie seine gewangten tanz auf den namen von "Sancta Maria"....

[@bigbeddie]

of course it's VERGINE! It's ITALIAN not Latin!

[@tayrone2001]

The word is VIRGINE not vergine ....

[@bigbeddie]

ma si può essere così scemi? bye bye - una piccola riflessione..... Secondo te il discorso singolare/plurale ha il pur minimo senso qui? E anche se così fosse, non riconosci allora che "della", "beata" e "vergine" sono parole della tua propria lingua? Senti quei polli che ridono? Adios amigo....

[@Symphorch]

I think you forgot Deus in Adjutorium-the first movement. Why?

[@Symphorch]

Which part is Deus in Adjutorium?
