Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Laudate Dominum (K. 339) | The Choir of Somerville College, Oxford

[@keithdanvers-colquhoun]

Mozart was invited for supper by a senior Cardinal at the Vatican. As a token of appreciation he wrote two vespers for the Cardinal , this being one. I have always loved this piece. Beautiful 🎼🎼🎼

Thks for the history. Lucky cardinal!

I sang this as a solo boy soprano (treble) some sixty years ago. It gives me enormous joy to hear young people singing so well. Marvellous music transcends time. Thank you

Sublime! Beautifully sung by Tal Katsir in a pure and gorgeous voice with hardly any vibrato. This is the finest version I have heard. Warmest thanks.

[@gooseberrydell8095]

"Finest version I have ever heard." ..Amen to that. The Holy Spirit does not take prisoners when it comes to delivering Light to despair. ..Excellent version.

Utterly magnificent, with heart and soul far beyond a professional recording. Yet she probably never realised or thought it, and went off to supper afterwards wondering if she might be late.

Many thanks for posting such a delightful performance. We look forward to following Tal Katsir as she continues to blossom and grow professionally. A most definite "Subscribe" too.

[@chriswalker9964]

Karen Noble fair enough, she certainly isn’t terrible and a musician certainly doesn’t have to be perfect to be effective. I think Beethoven once said “a mistake is nothing, playing without passion, that’s unforgivable”.

[@karennoble1168]

@@chriswalker9964 thank you, how true what Beethoven said. I think another composer or pianist said somehing along such true line too. She is also very young, a student, maybe a bit nervous but my feeling is that she is gifted, cares and puts her soul into this so lovely piece. My best to you in 2020!
