SOLOMON’S KNOT
United Kingdom
Приєднався 20 сер 2013
We are a baroque music collective of singers and instrumentalists (choir of soloists and orchestra) based in London. We are inspired most of all by music of the 17th and 18th centuries, which we try to perform in the most convincing, communicative way possible, whilst remaining true to the letter and spirit of the historical period in which it was written.

We are excited to announce this new CD recording - a collaboration between @solomonsknot & @lespassionsdelame. The project was a difficult one to realise, as it took place during the throes of the Omicron COVID-19 variant. However, the resulting disc is something of a triumph over adversity and has brought to life first recordings of two cantatas from Telemann’s late works. Buy online: www.solo...

Adorablement beau ! ❤
Like William's fingers gesturing!
Wundavare ....aus Barcelona
The Solomonic knot has been untied. At least as far as this interpretation is concerned. Beautiful and to the point! As a German, it makes me just as proud that our Christmas carols are loved, played and sung all over the world as it makes me ashamed that my ancestors brought so much suffering to the world. Thank you for this adorable performance of "Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen" by the divine Michael Praetorius.
Stellar performance, Bach would be proud! Feels like a slightly less traditional presentation, you add so much character and emotion in the right places!
Was für eine wunderbare Arie. Und erst der Text. So klingt es denn einfach nur herrlich, wenn J.S. Bach das lustvolle Verlangen in Töne beschreibt
Well sung Zoe
Eine wunderbare Aufnahme. Wann hört man neben den exquisiten Stimmen und den Instrumentalisten so klar und deutlich die Kesselpauken.
Excellent dance like tempo in the middle section!
I think if Bach had first rate players and singers with which to work, this would likely be the sound he heard in his head!
Im not sure! Bach and Händel were great composers,but difficult personalities! They had great demands on singers!☝️
oh what a great performance!!!!
Una de las mejores versiones de esta pieza...
Attention à ne pas précipiter le discours.
No amb canso mai d`escoltar aquesta bellessa de música, tant ben interpretada per aquest conjunt anglès.....Congratulations !!!!! ever and ever .....
Oh Kuhnau: Mein Herzenstrost, mein Seelelenlust, Deine Kunst wischt mir die Tränen von den Wangen
Kuhnau and You all are wonderful, follow the explorer and interpreting activity in Kuhnau' s lifetime work 🙂
Great sound from Neil Brough, wonderful!! Grande!!
Super excelente ❤❤❤
El so anglès te una personaliata única en el món del cant coral arreu del món..per mi no hi ha res de millor.....Congratulations ....
Ungläubliche Schönheit!! :-)
I'm not a big fan of pantomimed performances of Passion music. It's like watching an actor deliver coaxed tears or like watching actors in a silent movie trying to express themselves through exaggerated mannerisms. The Passion text and the music speak eloquently without the distracting pantomime.
INCREDIBLE BEAUTY!!!
Unglaublich schön und exakt gesungen, DANK AN ALLE
All five singers are outstanding, but the tenor, in particular, has a golden voice.
Bach also tends to favor the tenor part.
Such a dramatic piece, so well done, St Matthews one of my favorites
So beautiful, love the harmony and Handel!
Extraordinariamente super, "excelente❤❤❤

The membership of the singers in Solomon's Knot seems to change from one performance to another. The only constants I recognize are Jonathan Sells and Kate Symonds-Joy.
If you check out ‘Past Performances’ on our website you see the cast list for all of our previous performances. It is more consistent than you think 🙂 www.solomonsknot.co.uk/whats-on/past-performances/
May i humbly ask if it is planned to release the whole piece here on YT in the future?
Not the whole piece sadly, but we plan to release many more numbers.
@@solomonsknot Thank you kindly for your answer. I see. That is really sad. But i will gladly wait for other excerpts from this interesting interpretation of J.S.Bach's Masterwork. All the best to you.
Was für eine wundervolle Interpretation. Ich bin ganz hin und weg. Herzlichsten Dank dafür. Und das Clare mit dem Fuß tippst ist ein ganz besonderes Schmankerl für mich. (the last part contains a Bavarian word, don't know if the translator can get that right)
Fabuleux ! Divin🌞😇😇😇
Enfin de bons musiciens que l’on de dirige pas à la baguette. Vous tous merveilleux !
Astonishing vocal ensemble. Brings tears to watch and listen.
Was für Bach! Was für Musikerpersönlichkeiten - auch als Schauspieler! Das hinreißendste Weihnachtsoratorium das ich je gehört - gesehen habe.
Beautifully sung!
You had just sung your last note of Dixit Dominus and roughly 900 "desingel"-concert-goers immediately gave you a standing ovation. Your singing is so stunningly beautiful. You sing without a score, which gives a particularly musical and involved feeling. Congratulations
God bless the orchestra,each member is excellent, mich persöhnlich ergriff especially ""Willkommen Mein Leben,W Mein Licht"
Very emotional!
Amazing! I have never seen such a close contact with the audience during the performance of this wonderful work.
One of the best concerts I ever heard (yesterday in Stein am Rhein, Switzerland)! Dixit Dominus, Bach's Messe 234 and Scarlatti's Stabat Mater .
Sencillament una meravella !
You know when UA-cam for some unknown reason pushes a video with near zero views on you, from the other end of the world ... I'm in Western Canada ... for no apparent reason? Usually its cringeworthy or really bad or involves a cat, but very occasionally they drop a real gem on you and thats what this is. BooM ... wow ... wish I could see the show. Very complex piece, I've done it, takes a lot of practice to get it off page this well. Brightened my day.
More Strozzi please 😊
Yes, please come again to Brighton [or Hove ;) ]! Or Chichester, or anywhere in between or around. Incredible playing as well as singing. Heard detail and felt emotion I've not previously found in any of the three pieces you presented. Thank you.
Totally wonderful concert at Brighton.Please come again!
Wunderbar! Gesang wie Instrumente die blanke Sahne!!!!!! Danke für die schöne Interpretation!
Bravo! I want to listen to the whole album!😊
This is Handel's Dixit Dominus, HWV 232.
The best Magnificat I have ever heard❤️
