Most definitely, James Bowman and Michael Chance, such wonderful voices!

Without a doubt, CHANCE AND BOWMAN. Been listening to so many versions over the years and this is by far the most professional.

Dumaux and Scholl - two really thrilling voices! ❤
@ohmy56507 ай бұрын
Chance & Bowman win to me. Followed by *stunning* Scholl & Dumaux (intriguing voice Dumaux's, probably because I never heard him in duo with Scholl's nectar-voice) and the very good Djian/Guillon.

Nectar-voice is a good way of describing Scholl. My first exposure to the counter-tenor voice and I fell in love, hearing ":the raggle-taggle gypsies" on the radio (where he also sings the baritone part).

Scholl and Dumeaux achieved the best technical and musical quality, but I liked the artistic version of Chance and Bowman. So sad the third one doesn't have a video. Dumeaux's play is always amazing!

Chance and Bowman 100%. They mix perfectly and their sounds are so velvety, what joy sounds like in my opinion.

Chance and Bowman. No question. I was at Oxford with Bowman when he was in the New College Chapel Choir. We knew we were listening to something startlingly new, and the way forward for the voice. But my generation was brought up on the version by Alfred and Mark Deller, so let’s remember them gratefully too, as the real pioneers.

I knew James, too, when he was at New College. Evensong every night right next to him in the stalls 😁 And then running down to Christ Church for a second Evensong! You're so right about Alfred and Mark Deller. They did a wondeful job, whatever we might think of their singing today. I had the privilege of meeting Alfred Deller and his wife once. Such wonderful people. And he was so modest.

Chance y Bowman son un referente, hace muchos años conocí la voz de contratenor por ellos, me puede la nostalgia. Pero los demás cantantes son sobresalientes, han depurado el timbre y expresividad de su cuerda de manera impecable, como Scholl y Dumaux.

Le duo BOWMAN et CHANCE est le meilleur , ces deux voix de contre ténor se marrient parfaitement sans artifice et très harmonieusement ce qui n'est pas le cas de toutes les versions présentées. Pour moi , cette version peut-être considérée comme historique et je l'écoute régulièrement.

Well, so far it's unanimous! Chance and Bowman. I believe in general that the best performances are by musicians of the same nationality as the composer. They just tend to understand the language and culture. I fell in love with Purcell as a kid listening to Alfred Dellar, so for me Alfred and Mark Dellar would be a contender as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmW3qZ2en5mDb6M

Definitely Chance and Bowman. The others probably don't know what they are singing about. The pair of Scholl and Dumaux is a complete misunderstanding. I don't know who put them together, because these two voices don't even sound together at all. I can't stand performances in which the most important element is that the voice sounds at full volume - there is no music in it, just shouting over who sounds better. Music is not only about showing the singer's ego, there must be space for the color of the voice, colour of the language and, in the case of this piece, lightness and joy. Colleagues, famous countertenors - singing is not only your voice - a little humility and respect for the listener's ear would be useful. Even looking at the faces of Guillon and Bénos-Djian, the appearance of their faces alone discourages me from listening any further. Considering the above. Oh yeah...definitely Chance and Bowman.
