Once again, VOCES8 provides a stunning example of a Schütz motet, leaving no doubt that they are amongst the very best choral ensembles in the world. Stunning dynamic contrasts, German diction, intonation, and sensitivity to style. Wunderschön.

A magnificent display of seemingly effortless control and deftness mastery of dynamics. Your ability to blend the touching with impressive power is a joy to listen to - to experience.
Thank you for all your hard work and the hard work put into record, mixing and mastering a performance for those who couldn't be there to experience it in person.

Incredible! This has always been one of my favorite pieces by Schütz. I have listened to a lot of versions but this is clearly the best! Especially because I could actually understand the text. Great articulation as always, Voces8!

Nathan Henke

This is, simply put, the single most BEAUTIFUL rendition of this masterpiece. Such a satisfying and MARVELOUS performance!!

Steve Schwartz

Wow! Just wow. This is perfect choral singing. Aside from beauty of tone, the clarity of texture stands out. Diction, rhythm, dynamic control not only from the group, but from each individual part. Wow, again.

Anja Huebel

I agree, but also the sound engineering is outstanding

Stephan Dippon

Thank you so much for this music, my favorite motet of Heinrich Schütz on the evening before "Volkstrauertag". This is the day for the remembrance of the victims of both world wars and all victims of the Nazis.

"Sie ruhen" - @Jonathan: Wonderful, the sound of rest and the other voices like angels above.

If there are pieces, which can Show us the eternity - this is one of them.

Brian Smetzer

How is it that nothing they do is ever less than stellar? After all these years following them, I still run across new recordings and not a single one disappoints.
