      I discovered this group yesterday when they turned up on my Spotify. This sort of thing may not be your cup of tea, but this group is absolutely fantastic, top to bottom. Style, phrasing, intonation, all of it. Amazing.

        They did Elagr's Nimrod.
        Which is the single most powerful piece, not in that it's associated with Rememberance Day, but the story of how it came to be for Elgar to compose it. It never fails to bring a tear to my eyes.

            It's my favourite piece ever.

            From nine years ago

            Three weeks ago from a social disctanced and Rememberance Day.

                    It's extraordinary. Reminiscent of the King's Singers. I believe that there is something about the depth and breadth of the English choral tradition that makes them some of the best at this sort of thing. Makes me glad I grew up in the Episcopal Church.

                          @misterbuttercup And this is what makes Oppo so amazing. On a site ostensibly about cars, you can get comments and interaction on a post about choral music.

                            @ttyymmnn yes! Since signing up I've really enjoyed reading through the different posts and the sheer variety of posts. It's been pretty great!

                                @svend Okay, I've watched that four or five times now. Simply extraordinary. That's a piece of music you can't play slow enough.

                                  It's such an amazing piece.
                                  Elgar suffered with depression most of his life and the Enigma Variations were dedicated to friends who helped him through.
                                  Even the back story of the piece is full of sorrow.
                                  The fact it became the piece to remember so many who lost their lives is rather apt.

                                      No, the cenotaph is a war memorial.
                                      The grave of the unknown soldier is in Westminster Abbey in London.

                                      As far as tombs go, they don't get more fancy.

                                        I love that genre of high ethereal female voices used as an instrument. I like more of a melody and rhythm though, female vocal trance.
