The Sixteen
Приєднався 4 лют 2009
The Sixteen gave its first concert in 1979 under the direction of founder and conductor Harry Christophers CBE, and celebrated its 40th anniversary last year. Its pioneering work since has made a profound impact on the performance of choral music and attracted a large new audience, not least as ‘The Voices of Classic FM’ and through BBC television’s Sacred Music series.

What A Truly Wonderful Series Of Interviews Of The Great, Harry Christophers..
Love The Sixteen. Loved these informal chats. Thank you so much.
Fantastic. Fun to hear this vs the Voces8 and Quartonal versions. All fab.
Nice good job !!
Thank You, Harry Christophers And The Sixteen For This Beautiful Gift Of Music 🎶
I am so enjoying this civilized, gentle conversation. The questions are searching, the answers wonderfully informative. Thank you!
Happy birthday to you Harry Christophers! You are a treasure!
Nice, a Howard Goodall video I haven't seen!
Thank you, Harry. Looking forward to your Choral Pilgrimage at Southwell Minster tomorrow, 13th June.
This is such a glorious motet, beautifully sung. Spanish Renaissance delivers yet again
💖
Very nice
Beautiful! Thank you. Slava Ukraïni! 🇺🇦
So beautifully sung!! ❤❤❤
Of the 101 versions on YT this is the most affecting
For me, this beats Stargate
That is a lovely soprano
Pretty good, even without the magnificent orchestration
Will they ever perform in NYC or Boston?
As a graduate from the RAM in the early 70s, I was a free-lance singer in London. It was a hard crust then, but it must be very difficult to make a living now.
Fantastic!😅
Some singers from Tenebrae in there.
Glorious Josquin Benedicta es caelorum Regina ❤
Thank You, To Harry Christopher's And Bob Chilcott With The Voices That Make Up The Sixteen For This Beautiful Gift Of Music ❤
The Eighteen 🙂
They never know if, during the Pilgrimage, someone will stop during the road...
❤❤❤
My new favorite!!
This should be sung in the Kölner Dom in Cologne, Germany every Sunday.
Slava Ukraini ❤
A Masterpiece Of Music 💙
Always beautiful in delivery.
Amazing Relaxing Music my friend
Exquisite. I always had to fight tears when singing that.
As ever, a beautiful rendition by a marvellous ensemble.
네 마음과 네 목숨과 네 정신을 다하여 주 하느님을 사랑하여라
The Sixteen do it for me every time. Glorious!
Rest in power, Terrance Davis, a true artist sadly missed xx
Lovely-thank you! ❤️
Stunning, And Perfect For The Ending Of Another Year 💙
A bit more z on the final s would be better.
Sums up 2023. Beautifully sung.
My favourite vocal ensemble of all time, directed by a man of such great sensitivity. And as for this performance? 'If you take care of the pennies, the pounds will take care of themselves'. It's all about the pence. Wonderful.
It's magnificent. Could anyone share the lyrics, please?
I am an admirer of The Sixteen, and I live not far from Wexford. I'm sorry to be critical but this carol should be sung with much more gusto than in this arrangement: it is just far too polite.
They should have drunk a couple of pints of Guinness beforehand to get into the Irish mood LOL.
What piece is this? Makes me think of psalmody.
Thank You To "The Sixteen" For This Beautiful Christmas Gift Of Your Glorious Music 💙
