This piece and especially this performance gives me goose bumps and I cry each time I hear it. There is a totally sublime quality to it. As others have said this was the location of the very first performance so complaining of the echo/reverberation is rather irrelevant - just sit back and enjoy it and feel the passion and emotion in the piece and the performance. It works in any concert hall but this is just magical - and as authentic as you can get.
Jen Morricone
I agree...transcendent.
Walter Taljaard
One of the most profound and stirring melodies ever composed, echoing the destiny motive of Beethovens 5th, but with a far more tragic and therefore also more epic, accent . Its restrainment is also its strength.
The title is an enormous understatement, which also supports this restrainment, at the same time revealing a mirror into the English soul.
Jackie Bowers
what a fabulous description, couldnt agree more !
Angel Herrero
Ralph Vaughan Williams wrote his music with his very soul, that is why is so rich in making as feel, as we listen to it the true nature of eternity, God is in it; the notes of this piece makes me feel important, valued, purposeful; life has got meaning, it elevates me; we should never behave or become like the brute, like the base man; we are transcendent creatures; this music gives me hope.

This was the most profound and intelligently beautiful comment I have ever come across Angel Herrero, thank you for writing this and I too adore this piece by Ralph Vaughn Williams, this one and the five variants of Dives and Lazarus. Merry Christmas to you and God Bless!

Again and again, I come back to this piece of music. I remember hearing peoplr talk of the colour of music, but only after hearing this piece, some years ago, did I understand. If this is the last sound I hear in this vale of tears, I shall go to meet my maker a very happy man.
Jen Morricone
I was thinking the same thing as I listened. I want to hear this as I leave the planet forever. Let heaven and nature sing.
Debbie Meredith
I remember watching this one bbc2 when it was first broadcast, and the story around it... so beautiful

The echo and reverberation effect is what makes this performance unique above all others! Call it Valhalla, or Xanadu, or Heaven, this is how it was meant to be heard... Ask your heart!
