Libera Dreams

Well-observed Surpinto. In fact, on further watching they start this quite early on when it's just Victor and the boy to his left singing, on "mother" and "manger". Next when there's three of them, the boy on the right sings "Mary was that " differently from the other t...

I know this thread is very old but it popped up when I was searching for information on St Paul's which I visited for evensong for the first time yesterday. In case anyone else is searching for information I thought I would put an update here that apparently it is no longer possible to sit in the qu...

Too early! His voice is clearly not yet settled enough to be putting recordings like this online. He struggles to sing that piece as his range has not yet expanded properly and the lower notes in particular sound dull as a result. His training is excellent and he covers for these deficiencies quite...

LP's are definitely trendy, and there's certainly something more tangible in getting others to listen to this cool LP you just bought rather than the MP3s you just downloaded. Perhaps it will expand the audience a bit. The other advantage with LPs is that the artwork is bigger. I even hear that cass...

It's great you will be able to make the trip over here Surpinto 8) Do we have an idea of when tickets might go on sale? Looking at the 2017 concert it was about six weeks beforehand and the tickets were from Ely Cathedral directly. Will the same arrangements likely will apply this time? With such an...

My other plan, if my trip had gone ahead, would have been to see Evensong in Cambridge (perhaps King's College Choir). They sing Evensong at 3:30 pm Sunday's (details here ). Proper decorum must be observed of course as this is not a concert, but a religious service, so things like applauding are n...

I live very close to Cambridge and am excited about this as I wasn't able to attend the last concert in Ely. Hopefully I will know if I am free that evening in May before tickets go on sale. This would be my first Libera concert. :) If anyone wants any advice about attending evensong in Cambridge le...

There is an album by Christ Church Cathedral Choir (before Liam's time) which is comprised of songs from around the world which I would say could be considered to be folk. It is called 'We Are The Burning Fire - songs from a small planet' by Howard Goodall. A couple of tasters: https://www.youtube....

Evensong seems to be going ahead as usual at 17:30 before the concert, so I'd recommend that for anyone who will be arriving early. Ely Cathedral Choir are very good, although there is a chance it might be a visiting choir or the girl's choir, so if that concerns you do check with cathedral nearer t...

Some choirs sometimes have a go at folk music. I know the Weiner Sangerknaben did a CD of alpine folk songs for example. My favourite though is New College Oxford's "Early One Morning" album English folk songs released about 20 years ago. It has my favourite rendition of Greensleeves on it...

I really like their Bach recordings, of which they have done quite a few. They have put a number of live performances on YouTube if anyone is interested. Haven't checked out the Pärt yet but it's on my list.

Like you I'm not a fan, they seem to be more of a stage show than a serious choir.

Agree with you that would make a good Libera song.

I'm pretty sure he's no longer missing.

I'm having a problem creating an account for their online ticket system. I keep getting a message saying " - Field is not in the right format". I tried changing my phone number (which is one of the required fields) to a UK format but to no effect. Any suggestions? Also, I can't see what p...
