Note to audiences: When attending a VOCES8 concert, TURN OFF YOUR CELLPHONES! Thanx!

Not just a Voces8 concert. Any concert or other types of performance for that matter. It's extremely disrespectful. I got so pissed off when I heard the fucking phone ringing.

They need to employ a sniper to remove them from the performance - permanently . lol 🤣 I had the same in a performance my choir were giving.

They are amazing! I have performed it 3 times in Russian in my choral career and it's almost always sung with a large chorus. It is the 6th (and most beautiful) hymn in Rachmaninoff's All Night Vigil. But they nailed it!

This one piece, of the Vespers, is so exquisitely sung by Voces8 voices… I am all goosebumps, and in (happy) tears of appreciation of a very hard job well done! Would that my singing group had done this … We would have sung it well, even if in English(!)… 😉😘🥰❤️🎶🎵

Love this song. I sang the bass part as an audition piece and became part of the symphonic orchestra choir in M.

Either the recording has been cut or they made a very strange cut in the ending. Several bars missing.

@literallyallthingsonice 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, almost like they shortened the arrangement at the end. Either way, it’s not too offensive.

this sounds much more full with a larger choir, but somehow more heartfelt with the chamber group

@elizabethwilcox8006 Жыл бұрын

Can people in audiences NEVER turn off their stupid phones?? It is amazing ...why do they bother going to hear such rapturous sounds anyway and have other man-made devices near them?

@misssophie6515 4 ай бұрын

wonderful music, would be amazing if they could do it again with all phones switched off and with octavists/ basso profondo, the recordings that have those are reallly something else

Amusing the phone going off on such a serenely sacred moment. It was an honor to have auditioned for you all on 2012. I enjoyed London so much that summer. Okayed ping pong on the outdoor tables at the Embankment Gardens Then probably had too much Guinness that night after the audition ;) peace my singing friends. Hope to catch you in concert again sometime. DJW

@johnwade1325 7 ай бұрын

Just a note or two - but this omits the important words "Thou" (yesi) "souls" (dush) and leaves the word "our" (nashikh) hanging out with nothing to go with. Exquisite singing, though, as always.
