In a world all on its own. I do hope we all someday will hear this beautiful beckoning as the bright white light is shown on each of us when we depart this life.
I am going to have this tune played when my time comes, still my all time favourite after 65 years I love the beauty of this small place called England for all its faults and these soaring strings sum it up in sound, stunning every time I hear it. Thanks Vaughan
Perfection! No other recording touches this. The one piece of music I would take with me to my grave. Has haunted me ever since I first heard it aged 15 and it has stayed in my DNA ever since. Thank you for posting this life shaping diamond of the soul.
For 52 years this work remains my ultimate musical treasure. I did visit the Cathedral once but unfortunately without this sublime music. Interesting to read the comments below & know that I have spiritual company. No locale for this masterpiece could possibly equal this one. Perfection indeed!
Listening to this, most marvellously sublime piece of music 🎵 22.40 pm BST in bed, 20/5/2022 Makes me supremely proud to be British …..just superb especially in this glorious cathedral setting! I never tire of Vaughan William’s wonderful music 🎶 I would love to have met him!!! His one other piece, The Lark Ascending immediately conjures up visions of our beautiful English countryside which is unparalleled IMO! Surely God Himself inspired ALL his music! 🙏🙏🙏😇🕊🕊🕊 ✨🌟✨🌟❤️❤️❤️❤️🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ hi to anyone else who is as mesmerised as I am!!
So glad a version of this tremendous cathedral performance exists without the awful advert slap bang in the middle. This is, without doubt, my favourite performance of my all time favourite piece of classical music. Simply stunning
Extraordinaire, d'une quintescente beauté sonore, un mystère de force retenue, de calme et de douceur. Magnifiquement filmé. Mille mercis ++ pour cette proposition et mise en ligne ;-)
Ich bin ABSOLUT begeistert! Eine perfekte Einspielung, ein grandioser Ort, ein absolut perfektes Video. Zum Sterben schön... I am ABSOLUTELY thrilled! A perfect recording, a magnificent place, To die beautifully...
By far, the best version of this beautiful work. This is also perhaps due to the acoustics of the Glouster Cathedral. There are other excellent versions of this pice, but again, this is by far the best one.
exquisite -- the piece is performed to perfection inside this beautiful chamber, with these glorious acoustics. could the music of the heavens sound any more sublime??
Amazing!! I can't think of another harmony which encompasses the heights of drama and the depths of tranquility in quite the same way. The cathedral setting for this rendition is exceptional. Keeping this in mind, just this week (30 March 2022), Thomas Tallis's "Why fum'th in fight" landed in my TH-cam, and I finally understood where Ralph Vaughan Williams got his creative orchestrations for this marvellous from. Total perfection! 🎼👋🏾❤✝
I love how when the cello part begins to play in the beginning, the camera turns to a shot of the ceiling and then the cathedral. It gives off a feeling of being there and being mesmerized and full of wonder.
Thank you for posting this,Sir Andrew Davis is a master of conducting the music of English composers. His recording of Elgar's Enigma variations is unsurpassed. I had the pleasure of watching him conduct that and RVW's London Symphony at The Royal Albert Hall in London a few years ago and it was stunning.
Absolutely beautiful with wonderful acoustics. I last went to Gloucester Cathedral in 1975, but sadly this lovely music wasn't being played at the time.
I've seen t his piece performed live at St Davids Hall by the National Orchestra of Wales. It was a brilliant performance. I have visited Gloucester Cathedral many times. I think that this performance would have topped the performance at St Davids Hall no question. Sublime - absolutely perfect.
Yes! The best! But don't miss the chance to watch Peter Oundjian, who studied at Vaughan Williams' old school, conduct the Toronto Symphony Orchestra -another fantastic performance!
I thought I could listen to this while working on my globalization essay. It's too majestic to ignore. The acoustics alone are amazing and only add to the emotion of this piece. -sigh-
it s' Perfect there are few recording performed better than this one Andrew Davis worhed a miracule. It was no coincidence that in addiction to his knowledge, rhe acoustics unsurpassed
@@271250cl Two people who were at the premier were the young composers Ivor Gurney and Herbert Howells. It's said they were too excited by it to go to bed and walked the streets of Gloucester until dawn. By contrast, the cathedral's organist, a musician from an earlier generation, described it as "a mad piece by an odd chap from Chelsea".
I wish Covid would end so I could visit Europes great cathedrals and listen to this wonderful piece of music while exploring.
In a world all on its own. I do hope we all someday will hear this beautiful beckoning as the bright white light is shown on each of us when we depart this life.
This piece has me in tears everytime . I can’t explain how it seems to crack into this hardened heart of mine .
I am going to have this tune played when my time comes, still my all time favourite after 65 years
I love the beauty of this small place called England for all its faults and these soaring strings sum it up in sound, stunning every time I hear it.
Thanks Vaughan
to say i listen to this piece about 10 times a week is no exaggeration, absolutely superb.
Perfection! No other recording touches this. The one piece of music I would take with me to my grave. Has haunted me ever since I first heard it aged 15 and it has stayed in my DNA ever since. Thank you for posting this life shaping diamond of the soul.
Music to die for and with ...
I love this piece of music. The first part is both poignant and romantic and it makes me think of my life's special moments

Thank you for uploading this supreme piece of music. It brought tears to my eyes.
It always does . Then I found this piece …
Fantastic! Beautiful moonlit setting. Love the cathedrals of England - together with this piece - perfect.
This video is incredible
Listening to this late Sunday evening, just before going to bed. Perfect music for contemplation.
This is Magnificent , the Soul is transcends Universal.
Williams‘ music is the stronghold of my soul

brings tears to my eyes..every time.
Oh, those glorious celllos and violas! Instruments 🎻 of the soil!!!
I find the shovel and spade much more efficient!

Magnificent. Thank you for posting this.
Excelente Tema , Vibraciones Celestiales ...
Wonderful and more...Thank you ¡¡¡
But not only to die beautiful... even to lift off in highest human emotions...
wow que hermoso ....
13:41 I have two ears, one for the violin and the other for the viola, so beautiful.
quien no llore con esta musica no ha entendido nada...
who doesn't cry listening this song doesn't understand nothing...
Wanderful fantasia.. wanderful orchestra
Espléndida versión en el mismo escenario ( catedral de Gloucester) en que V. WILLIAMS estreno en 1910 esta obra bajo su dirección.
I almost cried.... it makes me sad...
This is the BBC Orchestra led by Sir Andrew Davis, and performed in the Gloucester Cathedral.
Emocionante diálogo.
Excelente versión
Yes! The best! But don't miss the chance to watch Peter Oundjian, who studied at Vaughan Williams' old school, conduct the Toronto Symphony Orchestra -another fantastic performance!
I agree! Some conductors and orchestras are mesmerizing with this composition.
Beautiful
Basada en el barroco inglés, Voughan Williams compone una partitura maravillosa.
En realidad era el Renacimiento.

Victoria So very well said
thank you!!!
so incredibly beautiful and poignant...
Hermosa
Precioso

Can anyone tell me how to purchase a copy of this video? Desperately want a copy in my video library.
EXQUISITO
Six people come from a culture where down is the new up
they were discomfortingly shocked that music actually could toch them
ethereal
Incredible imagination. How did Bach conceive the Toccata and Fugue? How did Williams conceive the Fantasia?
i was told that Rachmaninov was at the premier of this work and that he broke down and wept.
That was 'Serenade to Music', Nicolas. If you don't know it, look out for it and you'll hear why Rachmaninov wept!
