Crank up your speakers and give this video a try. Once it’s done, now consider that this is just compressed YouTube audio, and that the main track they will be selling blows this away if your system can support. Assuming you are an audiophile if you are reading this…it probably can. I’ll try to remember to come back and add a link to their Blu-Ray/SACD and files when they become available.
Video from the recording of Kim André Arnesen’s MAGNIFICAT to be released by 2L on Pure Audio Blu-ray this October, featuring both Auro-3D and Dolby Atmos audio streams.
The Magnificat is the Virgin Mary’s song of praise to God after one of the Bible’s greatest wonders: the angel Gabriel visiting her with the message that she is to be the mother of God’s son. In his setting Kim André Arnesen expresses the feelings Mary must have felt: wonder, devotion, gratitude, joy, humility, hope and compassion. God’s selection of an unknown woman living in poverty to be the mother of His son is a bottom-up view of the world if ever there was one – and Arnesen sees the Magnificat as offering support and hope for all people struggling against adversity or in need of strength.
Musica Celestis portrays the ceaseless praising of God by angels in heaven. Aaron Jay Kernis builds his work around a fairly simple melody which he remoulds in a series of variations.
The intensely beautiful and mostly barren Hardangervidda mountain plateau inspired Ola Gjeilo to write Tundra, while his Song of the Universal expresses unabashed optimism, exuberance and poet Walt Whitman’s unwavering confidence in our deeper humanity – all through the prism of a big, warm, beating heart.

Lovely choral piece. Morten, I didn’t know you were a videographer too!
The more I listening to it, the more I love it. Lise Granden Berg, wherever
you’re thank you very much.
Bellissimo.

MAGNIFICENT RECORDING…
Absolutely beautiful and magic!
Such a pleasure to see people vibrate together, as a result it just produce
amazing things!
Congrats to all player, recording engineer and of course Kim André Arnesen
for his huge composer talent, WOW.
Thank you 🙂
Well done. I’m intrigued by the mic set up. Difficult to see, but looks
like a stereo pair backed up by at least an extra pair slightly further
apart.
The piano, presumably has a spot mic which, forgive me, but occasionally
goes over the top.
Good to find someone who is taking a musical approach to sound recording.
Ciao
Geoffrey

Sublime. Bravi!! Thank you 🙂
I saw this video for the first time at the AES convention in Los Angeles,
and I got chills. I immediately looked for the video on YouTube once I got
home. I’m so happy I found it. This is so beautiful. It brought tears to my
eyes.
これは素晴らしいです。落ち着く
Fantastic! Lise Granden Berg, beautiful!
very nice sound…
Como ya sabemos, ha comenzado el mes de noviembre, mes destinado por la
Iglesia a honrar a la Santísima Virgen María, madre de Dios nuestro
Salvador. Este mes, que en el hemisferio norte corresponde al mes de mayo,
se destina por coincidir con la primavera, época en que según los creyentes
la Tierra entera tiende un manto de flores en honor de la Virgen.
Por estas razones, queremos entregar un homenaje realizado por una compañía
noruega al hermoso: “Cántico de María”; también denominado “Magnificat” y
que corresponde a la exclamación de alabanza que María exhala luego de que
ella visitara a su prima Santa Isabel que se produjo tras de la
“Anunciación de ángel San Gabriel”, en la cual se le anuncia a María que
será madre del hijo de Dios y que a su vez, su prima Santa Isabel, también
concebiría un hijo que más tarde se transformaría en Juan el Bautista,
quien según la tradición, preparó lo caminos del Señor en cuanto fue el
principal encargado de publicar su llegada entre las gentes de ese tiempo,
previo a la anunciación del Reino por parte de Jesús.
Esta historia está narrada en las Sagradas Escrituras, específicamente en
el Evangelio según San Lucas (Lc 1, 46-55).
Avro Pärt in Hollywood? Beautiful movie soundtrack at best…
The lead is exquisite. Simply divine

Bellissimo!
Ma che meraviglia…..
〈讚主頌〉是先知關於救世主來臨的祈禱，匝加利亞提到的「至高者」並非乘著榮耀的雲彩而來，而是像個柔弱的小孩，生在平凡的家庭，生在冰冷的馬廄裡。這就是我們擁有的天主。
