Ave Verum Corpus K618
W.A. Mozart
Moscow State Academic Chamber Choir
"Moscow Virtuosi" chamber orchestra
Conductor: Vladimir Minin
19 November 2006
Great Hall, Moscow Conservatory
Live recording of the concert dedicated to the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth.
This is one of the slowest tempos I have ever heard taken, but it is also one of the most magical and sublime for me. Enjoy!
Ave, ave verum Corpus,
natum de Maria Virgine;
Vere passum, immolatum
in cruce pro homine.
Cujus latus perforatum
unda fluxit et sanguine:
Esto nobis praegustatum
in mortis examine,
in mortis examine.
Hail, true Body,
born of the Virgin Mary,
truly suffered, sacrificed
on the cross for man,
from whose pierced side
flowed water and blood:
Let it be for us a foretaste
in the trial of death.
