I read about 20 comments and figured since no one else addressed the elephant in the room I would do it. And please, no haters, ok? I mean all of this with all of the respect in my heart for these gentleman and my love for them taking the time to learn the song and do such an amazing job on it. As a 68 year old Black singer, I was a member of the Barbershop Quartet Society for about 15 years. Their style of music has never been very popular among young Black men, so I know something about "singing something different". I just wanted to say how absolutely REFRESHING it was to hear four young very talented Black men singing something classical and doing, as I said earlier, such an amazing job on it. I literally had tears in my eyes listening to this and that rarely happens. I wish we could get more young Black people, men and women, interested in this type of music rather than the rap and hip-hop that in my opinion, has been a major factor in glorifying thug life, street life, and disrespect towards women in the Black community over the last 40 years.

Four singers that sound like a full choir. An angelic choir.

When angels put on street clothes and remind us God can be worshipped everywhere. ❤️

Old Jewish guy here. That was just spectacular and moving.

I'm a 70-year-old Catholic, and I've probably heard every version of Ave Maria ever recorded, but these four guys blew me away. They are incredible...

This song is SO TIMELY for my family and I! My 13 year old sister has cancer, and Sunday I had gotten a call from my parents asking to gather all of my siblings to come and say our goodbyes… We prayed, we asked for a miracle, and here we are 5 days later and my sister has made a MIRACULOUS recovery and doctors are in AWE!

It’s April 2024. I needed to hear this today. God bless you.

Our lady is so pleased with this performance. I just know she is.

Anyone who's ever sung in a choir knows how hard it is to get a capella down without sounding forced. The synchronisation and blending is beyond words. I salute you!

Never in my life have I been able to listen to this song because it was played at my father's funeral in 1970 when I was 5 years old. I immediately turn it off whenever I see it anywhere. Well today this mysteriously popped up in my feed. Been thinking about my father a lot lately and wishing I had him here to talk to and love me. Listening to this is what I imagine it must feel like to be sitting next to God and Heaven, this is the first time I could ever listen to this all the way through and appreciate it for what it is. What a gift you have given me today! This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life, I love all of you for this, you have given me an enormous gift today and I thank you for that! You have a new super fan 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Wow!!! Four human men who sound like Angels. Beautiful.

Amen!!!! May God continue to bless you all! Stay together and pray together and watch God continue to show for his favor!

I’m a music teacher and vocalist. This is by far the most unique snd sublime rendition of Schubert’s Ave Maria I’ve heard ! Intricate harmonies ....lavish legato ...shimmering trebles velvet bass .......Exquisite

This rendition of Schubert’s Ave Marie deserves a million likes. The acoustics in that stairwell are incredible. It sounds like a cathedral. And these four men have the voices of angels. Kudos to whoever among them did the arrangement. Let us all make a commitment in 2022 to build up and preserve civilization rather than tearing it down.

Such beautiful talent! These 4 young men sang this song with such beauty and grace! God bless each you!

Today is Mother's Day. My mother died on Christmas night 2023. She was in hospice care at a local hospital. I was binge watching hospice care videos on KZfaq when this music video appeared. I played your music video and held up my phone to my mother's ear , even though she had been unconscious since December 21st. When this song ended I turned off my phone because it needed to be charged and I then walked over to a chair to get my purse. A hospice care booklet was given to me by one of my mother's hospice care nurses and I wanted to reread it. This is when my mother's hospital night nurse walked in to tell me she had been informed that my mother's vital signs had completely stopped. I turned my phone back on. It was 10:49 PM. Eleven minutes before 11:00 PM. The very last sound that my very much beloved mother heard was your heavenly beautiful voices. Thank you , gentlemen 💔.

It wasn't the stairwell that was incredible, it was the young men who sang that was incredible. God bless you guys for the blessing you gave all who heard you! Merry Christmas!❤

The harmonizing was sheer magic. Sounded like they were singing in a grand cathedral. Just sublime

Hands down the most beautiful version of Ave Maria I have ever heard.

Hearing newer renditions of classical songs brings so much warmth to my heart. Hearing them with all male voices is the icing on the cake. I love this so much.

This is absolutely phenomenal. Superb blend, balance, arrangement and dynamics. Bravo!

I can’t stop listening to this. I went to Paris and took a day trip to Chartres Cathedral. I played this on my headphones as I walked through the church. Transcendent experience.

These gentlemen need to get a recording of themselves,so soul stirring and angelic voices

GOD BLESS YOU........MOTHER MARY WOULD LOVE THIS......WHAT SHE HAD TO ENURE SEEING HER SON HANGING ON THE CROSS FOR US...AND OUR SIFUL NATURES...BEAUTIFUL ..!!!!

In a stairwell? No special equipment, no sound studio just the voices of angels. AMAZING! 💎💎💎💎

My father is a currently in a hospice due to acute leukaemia, weeks to live, listening to your stunning voices, brings some peace. ❤️

I am an 84 year old Indian woman who loves all types of music….religious, profane, classical and pop, western, Indian, African, whatever. I am not a Christian or Catholic , but studied most of my life in Convent Schools. And hence learned and sang hymns …including Ave Maria, one of my favourites. This rendition is special, soul stirring and deeply emotional. My husband , who passed away two months ago, would have loved this….wish he could have heard it….maybe he is listening wherever he is. Thank you young men for making time stop and giving my soul some meaningful time.

This was my grandmothers favorite song. Thank you young men for bringing her back to me for a short time. Wonderfully beautiful!

Absolutely the best version of Ave Maria I’ve ever heard. Normally it is sung as a solo at weddings and funerals. This is the first time I have heard it sung as 4-part harmony. It gave me chills. Superb job!

The stairwell may have great acoustics, but the talent of these men is what makes this version phenomenal. Amazing!

What a discovery you are! This is by FAR the greatest version of this song that I've ever heard - and I've been listening to it for 65 years! Thank you so much for the gift you give us with your singing!

Aw Guys, it was like the stairway to heaven watching and listening. Thank you for sharing your blessed gifts with the millions. May God bless you and keep you all safe.

Wow. Sounds like it's being sung in the most elegant cathedral ever built.

I'm 68, raised Catholic, and this is the most beautiful version of this song I have ever heard! It brought tears to my eyes!

Wow!!! Isn't this just a GORGEOUS rendition of one of the most beautiful songs ever. These four gentlemen are amazing singers!

OMG! Such Angelic voices in perfect harmony. I don't attend church, but this was beautiful. I am a believer in God and Christ and this brought tears to my eyes.

I would use a double thumbs up. They sound as I would imagine angels would sound. So incredibly beautiful. WOW

Absolutely incredible. Their harmonizing was mesmerizing.

These lads are heaven sent and heaven blessed . I'm a 71 year old Catholic from Ireland 🇮🇪

Tears pouring out of my eyes for the transcendent experience of these angelic voices! This is sublime.

As an Italian woman I have heard this song in many different renditions this was beautiful. I applauded you with tears. You all did this song a wonderful justice thank you

I am a 68 year old Black Catholic and this is one of the best versions of Ave Maria I have heard. I wish I had came across this video before Christmas 2023. I am listening to and discovered this video on KZfaq December 27, 2023. This song always touches my heart and especially in these turbulent times with so much crime, hatred, war, and racism. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Although i believe in God, i do not have a religion. And i was never catholic but, the Ave Maria is the most beautiful hymn i have ever heard in my life. This rendition by these 4 angels in a fabulously acoustic stairwell will live in my memory always. I applaud you gentlemen. 👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The harmonics of the space are indeed nice. Those well trained and OUTSTANDING vocalists have created some rare and WONDERFUL harmonies! Respect guys!

My Mother requested this be sung at her funeral. I believe she is smiling up in heaven hearing this today. So beautiful !

I’m a 60 year old Catholic and this is the most beautifully I’ve ever heard this sung! Please more like this from these gentlemen!

Not at all what you'd expect to hear from these four dudes. I'm impressed.

Absolutely amazing. Please never stop rejoicing in the Lord Jesus Christ. You sound like angels.

It is for times like this that I’m grateful for the internet…. I would not have had this opportunity to hear such angelic voices otherwise! Thank you! 💖

I have performed the Schubert Ave Maria in a chorus, small groups, and as a soloist. I have performed it in church, weddings, funerals and as part of mass. I have heard dozens of arrangements and this is hands down the most glorious version. I actually wept becuase of how beautiful it is. What an amazing talent you have!

I am classically trained and in this, a traditionalist. But these guys brought it alive again. And that is what music is all about...interpreting it as you experience it, making it yours and sharing it with us. Thank you gentlemen, for your lovely rendition. Peace.

Wow! Why am I just now seeing this! It is one of the most beautiful renditions of Ave Maria. ❤ what a gift ❤

I’m 67 and that is the most incredible version of Ave Maria I have ever heard. You guys are great and so is your hallway.

I love the way they stayed true to most of the piece, but still added their own original harmonies. Lovely!

I'm not a Catholic but I felt the reverence from these young men as they sang. The acoustics took me from a stairwell to a cathedral. I agree with other comments and say this is the best and most moving version of this song that I've ever heard. Bravo!

Gänsehaut ...zutiefst berührt ...Tränen in den Augen ...Freude ....Großartig .DANKE ❤

I’m speechless, these gentlemen have voices that are beyond ethereal, absolutely gorgeous. What a gift they have.

Thank you. My mum just passed away right before Christmas and this was her favourite song and I played Mario Lanza’s version as she transitioned. It’s Christmas Day - the first Christmas without her. I’m alone before the family arrive looking for Christmas music and found this. It’s so beautiful and a timely gift to the world so thank you so much.

These comments say it all. I can only add that I just found this and I had gooseflesh through the whole thing. That has never happened before. It came in waves. Husband just listened and I felt the sane thing. God bless you all!

Wow! Absolutely amazing. Great ! Time for America's Got Talent.

I pray that Our Lady will bless each of these young men in their lives for honoring her so beautifully!

These voices are precious. This is real music. Harmony coming from their hart❤❤❤❤

Wow! Male sopranos with such a beautiful straight tone are unicorns for sure!

What a gift. What a blessing. Amazing young men. God bless them.

I hope you all know that the INCREDIBLE thing in this video is not the stairwell, it's you four. You're melting my brain (in a good way) with your talents. I've never heard 4 people sound more like one voice. I also love the way you group-conduct; it's so organic. Special shout-out to the tenor/counter-tenor with the most amazing tone and vibrato. This whole thing is just stunning.

I am a previous choir person in catholic school and I have never heard the Ave Maria sung so beautifully..thank you for sharing...gave me chills...

My daughter and I sing in our church choir and know how difficult this can be! God bless you all and your voices! I know I am not alone when I say, “Bravo!!! More more!!!”

Wow!!!! I thought I heard every version of this song. These gentlemen send it right to the stars. God bless them all!!!!!🙏✝️👍

You do not need to be Christian or Catholic to find this very beautiful, which it is! No words. Moving. Wonderful!

4 angels singing! Baritone, tenor, alto and soprano, perfectly harmonized! This was simply BEAUTIFUL! And while not a black man myself. It's SO REFRESHING to hear something like this, than the rap/hip hop. Boyz 2 Men have NOTHING on you 4. The harmonizing was BEYOND ON POINT!! MUCH LOVE AND LIGHT GUYS!!!🥰😁

My heart❤️ fills every time I listen to this rendition of my mother’s favorite song. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I grew up in Catholic Church listening to this song… this gave me goosebumps. Well done Gentlemen!!

It is not an incredible stairwell. It is an incredible sounding quartet of amazing voices. Thank you ❤

I"m a Catholic who has always favored this hymn. I imagine it being sung in heaven by the angels. It also brings me back to my father in Ireland who always sang it. Your rendition brought me goose bumps. Thank you so much for sharing - you made me very happy. :)

Just discovered this. Glorious. Heaven is listening 😊

These singers are good enough for any cathedral... beautiful absolutely beautiful x

What a complex species we are. We are capable of the worst types of atrocities against each other and animals. Then you hear this, and it makes you weep with joy. More of this please.

Being Catholic I've heard this sung quite often. However, your version is so beautiful! You all have such heavenly voices.

My heart, my heart. They just lifted a bit of weight off my soul in this troubled world.

So beautifully done with amazing grace 👏 Brought me to tears. My mother's middle name was Maria. 🥹❤

As a traditional catholic this was the best rendition of the Ave Maria that I’ve ever heard. This is my favorite song that always brings tears to my eye. I always place myself next to Mary turning the Crucifixion. Honoring her great sacrifice of watching Her Son being tortured and but to death for our sins. Pray friends, pray for the world. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts to the world. Absolutely beautiful!! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

This is my mom's favorite song. She is in the final stages of alzheimers and this song still brings her peace and joy. Thank you for sharing your talent ❤️

who needs a female voice withthses guys. such harmony! thanks you for this!

ايتها البتول مريم، ثبتينا بمحبة يسوع يا ام الدنيي، باركي اصوات التمجيد ورافقي المرتلين كل حياتن🙏🩵 Hymn of heaven❤

MY GOD...there are angels. They met in a stairwell to sing the Ave Maria. For a few minutes, they gave my soul wings and let it soar toward Heaven. Magnificent!

I’m Catholic and this is just absolutely beautiful. Such an endearing moment for Our Lady.

Just hearing this now. I'd like to wrap you up and give you to the world as a gift. Beautiful, soul soothing. You are what the world needs now. Amazing. Thank you. Thank you.

I was so emotional by the end of these youngsters and their version of Ave Maria! It reminds me of my mom. She loves the Ave Maria.

Truly increidble. These 4 young men deserve a singing contract. Thank you for your rendition. Blessings.

Well, I'm niether over 60 nor Catholic, and that was still spine tingling! Such beautiful and well attuned voices you all have. BRAVO! ❤️

Superb, magnificent, and so intuitively accomplished! Very seldom have I ever heard anything that moves me so!! If this is an agreeable sample of what heaven will be like, then SIGN ME UP!!!

Wonderful....beautiful....I am sure Our Lady is grateful for your performance!

Your arrangement & talented voices = goosebumps & appreciation. Franz Schubert wrote so much in his short life. He died age 31. He was my 5th great uncle. This was his most familiar; I believe you have done him proud.😊🎵🎶🎵

This is the best Ava Maria I have EVER heard and believe these young men deserve to be heard…Can you imagine how this would sound in a cathedral?….absolutely beautiful…

They sounded amazing singing this song. So much better than we ever did in school.

Such beauty. Angels among us.

Some of those chords, especially in those acoustics, are as soul shakingly beautiful as the Gregorian chants of old. Amazing talent here.

Did anyone get through this without crying cause I didn’t. Absolutely beautiful vocals!! 👏🏼

We praise the Lord for giving you this faith and talent to sing for our dear mother.

Brilliant!!! Such unearthly sounds from four amazing men! Brought tears to my eyes! 😊💚🇦🇺xxx
