Re: Luca Brugnoli

I actually like how he is singing a capella here. You can tell he is keeping time in his head - maybe directed off-camera as well, but after each chorus (especially after the second one) you can see him counting. Pretty neat :) It’s rare to hear Libera boys’ voices so pure like that. The only other ...

No issues for me as far as I can see.

Re: Luca Brugnoli

I tried to donate via credit card twice. For some reason, the donation could not be processed, and it takes JustGiving 24h to confirm the processing or to let you know if there is a problem, so you are losing much time while waiting for their message. I then tried to use paypal (which is only possi...

Re: Concert in Ely Cathedral, May 2022

Some scattered and somewhat belated reflections on the Ely concert: Come My Way – based on the lovely George Herbert poem famously set by Vaughan Williams, but I think there was a second poem in there too; there seemed to be some extra lyrics between each verse of the Herbert, but I can't remember ...

Re: If you can decide, who is your single,most favorite soloist?

Anyway, my current favourite soloist is by far, Daniel White, who I have seen so far in: 9 Libera Concerts 5 Other concerts 3 Operas :D It fills me with sadness that he has already dropped into the "alto" category, albeit with the capacity still to sing soprano I think. My fingers are cro...

Uhm, is this topic about a possible new album or about a possible new concert video/DVD? :wink:

Re: New album hinted at (2022)

For some reason several people asked about this in Ely as well, but alas, no video cameras were spotted.

He really finished his solo treble career on a peak with that one.

Re: Concert in Ely Cathedral, May 2022

Another thing about Daniel, in particular in If: he stood there so calmly and rock solid. Centered. His body language said: whatever the world will throw at me, I will not flinch. He radiated calm, security - even though the song is so fragile. Makes me look forward to see how he will develop within...

New album hinted at (2022)

In one of the speeches at Ely 2022 a mention was made of ‘recording for a new album’. The reference was specific to the new song Come My Way which premiered at Ely. Though there was no mention of an album in the programme, it did include pictures of the boys in a recording studio. I am excited at th...

Re: Luca Brugnoli

Luca’s voice, his interpretation of words and his steady stage presence always evoke a kind of reassuring feeling in me. Hearing him sing leaves me with the feeling that all will be well. His singing is very sincere and sensitive, almost like he brings a deeper understanding of things without being ...

Re: Dominik Clarke

Dominik is part of ‘the Bigs’ now. In Ely he sang in the back row, meaning the Christmas concert of 2021 was his last one as soloist. I will for sure miss his commanding stage presence, his crystal clear voice and his excellent breath control. He always gave off the impression of singing his heart o...

Re: Concert in Ely Cathedral, May 2022

A comeback of hope Warning: it’s a looong read 😁 Main takeaways: * Ave Maria, Far Away and If moved me the most * Lots of nice surprises, new songs, new soloists * Daniel briefly conducted the boys on stage * Moose is Libera’s unofficial executive producer Believe it or not, but as I waved goodbye ...

Gaudete, Ding dong - so lively and cheerful. Jack sang a solo in Gaudete which would explain his microphone.
No, that is Luke, if you are refering to the solo intro.
See, I already lose track of the names. I blame the lack of homework (meaning concerts)… 😌
