Re: Other Choirs, Singers, Musicians that you like

A little bit of topic... Proud to have been a part of this celebration today on the 150th birthday of Sibelius (there's a video): http://yle.fi/uutiset/nain_huikeasti_sibeliuksen_finlandia_kajahti_helsingin_senaatintorilla__video/8511828 Thousands of people came to sing and listen – there must have ...

Re: Other Choirs, Singers, Musicians that you like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEVz-uouW8U I was browsing Youtube for performances of the first cantatas of the Weihnachtsoratorium – and then stumbled across this aria from number 4. I don't believe I have even heard it ever before. Unearthly, the music and this performance in particular. Peaceful...

I just learnt of the sudden death of John Scott on August 12th. I am left utterly speechless. :cry:

Re: Other Choirs, Singers, Musicians that you like

I thought I should share this promotional video from the Choir of St Paul's Church at Harvard Square. I remember seeing a few videos of them a while back and thinking they were quite impressive, but I have to say they have even improved from that. Almost makes me want to buy a carol album this year....

Re: Easter from King's College

Yep, it's now online. Too bad it seems to be out of sync, but well, the sound is what matters isn't it. [BBvideo 425,350]http://youtu.be/Z9K4rci4Bd4[/BBvideo] What a brilliant voice the Miserere soloist has – he absolutely nails that second solo verse. I don't think I have heard it sung that well in...

Re: Other Choirs, Singers, Musicians that you like

A few pieces of music I wanted to share... First an older recording I came across just two days ago: St Paul's Choristers singing an excerpt from Boyce's 20-minute anthem Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Refuge in 1979: http://barryrose.co.uk/mp3pages/stpauls-boyce.html Then continuing with the theme of tre...

Re: Arundel concert anounced

I'm afraid I won't be able to make it either. :? I'm moving out next month, and since I am also spending my summer studying instead of working, concert trips to the UK are rather out of the question for me for the time being. :lol:

Hopefully next year, then.

Re: Other Choirs, Singers, Musicians that you like

Helium Miserere was the most hilarious thing I've seen in a while. :lol: The Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford are on their USA Tour, and their concert this evening will be broadcasted live . Midnight UK time – I don't think it will be available later. http://www.wdav.org/26_269_509.cfm?do=vi...

Re: Other Choirs, Singers, Musicians that you like

Many congratulations to former King's organ scholar Robert Quinney, who has been appointed Director of the Choir of New College Oxford. Quinney succeeds Edward Higginbottom, Organist at New College for nearly forty years.

Re: Right Now

Leaving for London tomorrow :) Will be celebrating Candlemas at Westminster Abbey. They'll be singing a Mass setting by Tomas Luis de Victoria, one of my favourite composers. Really looking forward to that, also because it's my first ever Candlemas celebration. From what I've learned it's a lot lik...

Re: Other Choirs, Singers, Musicians that you like

Thanks Lumi, just got round to watching this. I particularly liked the part where the Dalai Lama kept tapping the mikes as the Dean of St P's was trying to speak. LOL funny! :mrgreen: Also a funny scene when the Dalai Lama is meeting the choristers after the ceremony. I guess you may already know o...

Re: Other Choirs, Singers, Musicians that you like

Evensong from New College - their last BBC broadcast with Edward Higginbottom it would seem – is still available until the end of this week. Purcell and Bach. Also came across some footage from St Paul's – a broadcast from last year of the Templeton Prize awarding ceremony. Very well recorded and fi...

Re: Right Now

I am unbeliavably angry right now. And that does not usually happen, but this is just rage. So, sorry, but I need to vent this off somewhere. The student union of the University of Helsinki (of which I am now a very reluctant member) have made a final desicion to evict four historic academic music g...

Re: Other Choirs, Singers, Musicians that you like

Has anyone else seen the Carol's service from King's College on Christmas Eve? I saw roughly the first half and was moved to tears by the performance of Once In Royal David's City. I wonder what the name of the soloist is but I couldn't find clips of it on Youtube yet. Yes, the soloist was excellen...
