Re: Luca Brugnoli

Congrats to Luca, something to look forward too; What Happens Next? From all the entries we receive, five boys and five girls will be chosen to sing at the televised semi-finals in front of a panel of judges. Then, three boys and three girls will be chosen by the judges to sing again in the televisi...

Re: Luca Brugnoli

Fingers crossed Luca might be involved in the competition. I recall last year the final stages was broadcast around late December...some Carols were chosen for the soloists. I always try to tune watch if I can. Cormac Thompson was featured last year.

Re: Wilderness Festival, Oxfordshire, August 5th, 2022

Nice find...Looks interesting. I've not known a recent event 'Libera' has performed in that at least one fan hasn't managed to attend and report back, but this might test even the most determined. Quite impractical in many ways esp. if a sole traveller but we'll keep our fingers crossed something fe...

Re: Dominik Clarke

...and he managed to scrape in one the finest live solo performances with 'Cum Dederit' at St John's. Truly outstanding effort. I hope Libera release it on YouTube at some point.

Re: Concert in Ely Cathedral, May 2022

Sam Coates interviewed on Cambridge Radio https://cambridge105.co.uk/shows/tony-barnfield/ to promote their upcoming concert. Begins at 1:05 Some useful info, but I wonder what website Mr Barnfield (presenter) was referring to when he said he could look at the history of all the boys who have perfor...

Re: Concert St John’s Smith Square (2021)

Appreciate the reviews...just a quick few thoughts from me. Dominik as is the general consensus with other members literally 'floored' me with his solo on 'Cum Dederit'...it's not a competition but surely one of the most complex and tricky solo's performed in a live setting to date? With his breath ...

Re: Concert St John’s Smith Square (2021)

Crazy times...Libera might just scrape another 'lucky' window by performing these concerts just before the possibility of more restrictions coming. Similar to last year, especially if this new variant gets going.

Re: New Album "If" (Oct 2021 release)

Some chart updates on Libera's new album (IF) as per http://www.crossovermedia.net/blog/entry/64C34722-0EF4-41AB-9B42A588E6D231F4/ "If" has charted on Billboard Japan at No2 Traditional Classical Albums. Look at some very nice photos of the display in Tower Records - Tokyo. After week 1 of...

Re: Home Sweet Home Alone

Thanks for the info, yes sadly the film as been panned by the critics (it was never going to be better than the originals with Culkin) but if Libera's COTB comes out as one of the highlights of the production then it's a plus for them. What you can hear from "Carol of the Bells" is a very ...

Re: New Album "If" (Oct 2021 release)

It was a very good first interview from Sam (thanks for capturing andmar) Interesting revelations into how 'If' came about and past concerts and tours. I think between him and Steven G and those who continue to help out behind the scenes....Libera will be in good hands for the future.

Re: New Album "If" (Oct 2021 release)

Thanks for the comprehensive review Egorbea - I'm guessing Luca Brugnoli opens and closes solo for Nearer my God to thee. Hopefully this will be performed at St John's in December. Today's tracks were 'Home' on Classic FM & 'Vespera' on Scala. The host on Scala said Sam would be on at 10:30am to...

They both went for fast paced momentum driven tracks today;
Scala 'Sing for our World'
Classic Fm 'Sacris Solemnis'
