[@MrJiffitz]

The human voice - God’s most beautiful instrument. And to have these 8 voices giving Him such glory - what a blessing. Thank you Voces8.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Every new publishing from VOCES8 is for me a proof that beauty, friendship, honesty and love still exists in this world.

The angelic Voices are back and they sing for us a song of Paradise while fog and cold come fast on this Tuesday in November.. Grazie ❤

[@amandamariemuise]

[@Babbajune]

[@OrbiliusMagister]

I listened to them live yesterday in Vicenza: they sound as otherworldly as they do in their videos, with the added entertainment of cheerful interaction with the (huge) audience.

this is not Scripture

Schade. Die Komposition ist nach meinem Gefühl sentimental und langweilig.
