Re: New COTB and Sing Lullaby Videos

It's actually from the Holiday EP from 2015 (the one that had Santa Will Find You), which might not be as familiar to people since it wasn't from a full album and I don't know if everyone even purchased it. But if you directly compare the two recordings, everything (including the soloists) sounds th...

Re: New COTB and Sing Lullaby Videos

I'm really enjoying both videos as well. I like that they put the focus on the actual music and the boys singing, and the church is beautiful as well. I've also really enjoyed some of their more thematic videos (e.g., Lacrymosa), and I wouldn't want them to stop making them altogether, but I also li...

Re: New CD "Christmas with LIBERA" in 2019

The video looks promising, but it seems a bit odd to film a new video with an old recording. I wonder if they will re-record the solos for the video, at least?

Re: New CD "Christmas with LIBERA" in 2019

I love O Little Town of Bethlehem too ! :D Oliver's solo stroke me even on the little extracts we got before the album was released. Well, I think very highly of Oliver's voice, but also that song that is brand new to me touched me. I am a little curious about the "american version", ther...

Re: New CD "Christmas with LIBERA" in 2019

Thanks to all of you for sharing your thoughts on O Little Town of Bethlehem! It's just interesting to me how everyone's musical taste is different, for whatever reason it may be, and how we react to some songs in such a similar way and others very differently. And no worries, filiarheni - I'm not a...

Re: New CD "Christmas with LIBERA" in 2019

I finally listened to the album in full this morning. :D I’ve been waiting for the international release of the album, and finally pre-ordered the CD when it showed up on Amazon US. However, in the US, apparently the physical CD isn’t being released until Dec. 13, even though the digital version bec...

Re: New CD "Christmas with LIBERA" in 2019

Not sure whether this has been covered here or not. It's been suggested that "Carol of the Bells" is an older recording from an earlier release. I don't, however, know of any COTB recording that begins with a single voice (as this one does on the Japanese sampler) instead of a small ensem...

Re: New CD "Christmas with LIBERA" in 2019

I listened through all of the tracks and I think it's going to be amazing, even better than I was expecting. :D The arrangements for the new pieces are beautiful and add new harmonies to many of them than I've heard in other versions, and there is a really nice variety of pieces on the album, so it'...

Re: New Christmas CD in 2019

05 - Noel Nouvelet In searching for this song it sounds very familiar but I can't place the tune. But I think that this link gives as close to a rendition as we'll likely hear from Libera minus the men's voice. This piece has never been recorded by Libera. The tune is also used for Now the Green Bl...

Re: Beyond

I'm confused about the soloist crediting in the "Beyond" booklet. Only Gabe is listed there for Do Not Stand . Now is the other one Leo? [...] The second voice is just too important in this song [...] Hopefully, it's Leo, even though not credited. [...] It's just a much nicer thought to h...

Re: Beyond - DVD videos

Superb! :D I agree that the video fits the song very well and at the same time adds another layer to the song. I think it's my favorite music video they've produced in the last several years, maybe even since the music videos for Peace. Of course I also enjoyed In Paradisum, but of the two videos, t...

Re: 2018 US Summer Tour

Libera of the US has posted a few new videos of the tour, including this one, in which a couple forum members are mentioned at 4:52 :) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UGEySCNkUo And this one, in which Daniel describes some kind of contest for teddy bears: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3egR-A60...

Re: Beyond - DVD videos

I really like this video. :) Excellent song choice, for one, and the video itself is very nicely done. There's just enough going on to keep it interesting, with the scenery, movement, and just a slight storyline, but at the same time it keeps most of the focus on the song itself. :)
