[TheHitDetector]

OMG!!!!!....What a wonderful version absolutely superb....I love this so so much it is so beautiful it is simply heaven on earth.......WOW!!!..How it stirs the emotions in such a wonderful way. This is so perfect...So brilliant...A superb Masterpiece.

[Holowachuk]

kitschig, aber gut kitschig. ;)

[frankjurga]

Best to keep adding nice comments to get rid of stupid comments off the front page - come on guys. I have the 'Dublin' version saved as my favourite but I don't like the pictures because they are not of old Dublin but mostly of War scenes. I think I'll go and listen to Culture club now - War is Stupid ...

English music by Ronald Binge murdered by Germans

[doofiman]

@britishpolitics1

The web is full of idiots, you are one of them!

[TronicBN]

@britishpolitics1

Ronald Binge died of cancer in 1979.....thanx for the finding that cancer is caused by germans...

[bright41bright]

@britishpolitics1

i take that quite offensively

i am german and when my father lived in Ecuador at age 8 his friend was hit by a car and killed. he listened to this on his turntable hours on end

[tmoran528]

love it

[batioti]

Wunderschön, danke!!!

[ferociousgumby]

Yes, I think this is the one I heard on the radio as a kid, but I remember it in English.

[bubibuLLo]

Why are they all dressed in Slovakian folk clothes ? The castle looks also like from Slovakia.

[gisellewilding]

As the river Avon is surrounded by man's deliberate destruction in Christchurch New Zealand I remember singing this song in my school group to , I believe the Arch Bishop of Canterbury near the river Avon . Innocence lost.

[SuperPommern]

hat keiner den ganzen Film?

[ukcelticpride]

This is how people should conduct themseves - with dignity!

[EvilCensor]

Very nice chorale sounds, shame about the orchestration - the acting looks awful also.. title should be Elizabethan Serenade by Ronald Binge.

[seanreillyireland]

German has got to be the most strangely ATTRACTIVE language in existence! 

[jonsharp20]

although cant speak german nice video and of course elizabethan serenade fab music

[SuperPommern]

@ user 28356 Hast du zufällig den kompletten Film???? Oder jemand sonst?????

[Beowulf299]

@MartinHH1953 you idiot.Greetings from Germany

[cassidy322]

Love this piece.....remember when a kid in 60's......like the original Goodwin......but this quite pretty with a German slant...

[davinken]

I love the hand bells - Liebe die Handglöcken !! Zaubermusik !

[Beowulf299]

Früher hab ich gelacht über die Menschen,denen sowas gefiehl,heute gefällts mir selber........

[Beeples01]

Still a lovely song. Trivia question; when was this written? Most people answer with, It was written for Elizabeth the first. Wrong, it was written for Elizabeth II about 1952 or 3.

[sitedezynz]

Hi Beeples01!! Just wanted to say that I read somewhere else that this in fact was not written for her... or rather for her coronation which took place near around the time this was written... rather this was done in the Elizabethan style...just thought I'd ad that...cheers!

[Beeples01]

Hi Sitedezynz, You may be right on that point. My rationale for the question was

when was it written not so much for whom or why. As Queen Elizabeth's coronation was in '53 then I am pretty sure it was written for that rather than her personally. Thanks for your comment. Cheers from Sydney, Oz.

[adamx1812]

I do believe you to be right. I also would add that it was intended to conjur feelings of happiness in people after the second world war.

My wife and I had this at our wedding as an alternative to the traditional wedding march.

[warumlachstdu]

wonderful Song!

[joepavia]

I always thought this piece was German, but it was composed by a chap called Ronald Binge who was born in Derbyshire, England, But I must say the Germans have made it their own,

[traverscm]

I know what you mean, I agree. I wonder with a name like "Binge"(maybe pronouced "Binga") if he was not of German origin? Interesting observation by yourself.

[sjokolade777]

Ja und jetzt haben wir Moscheen und Synagogen in Deutschland und auch in den Köpfen wuchert das Ungeziffer... Der Westen wollte den Deutschen Raum zerstören und hat alles von 1905 bis 1949 bzw. 1989 daran gesetzt und macht weiter... Gibt es keinen Gott für uns? Dürfen wir keinen Platz unter der Sonne haben?

[yellabeth]

This brings back such memories. SUCH WONDERFUL VOICES ! Thanks so very much for posting this and information related!! Love it!

[nikkitta8]

Gunter Kallmann's choir , quite charming!!

From Argentina ***** stars

[thomasojii31]

"Gunter Kallmann Choir,"*****

Quite charming!

[LukeTeoh]

Diese schone Lied erinnert mich meiner Riese zu Farnkfuten, Bremen und Hamburgs, wo ich eine erfreudliche Zeit jeder Stadt gehabt habe. Vielen Dank

[gardenmike]

This score could well be favored by the Germans.

[1234Krueger]

Ich werde wieder zum Kind. Dies ist DAS Lied meiner Kindheit.....

[Gismo7189]

Hetzelfde voor mij. The same for me. I am 50 now and i remember it so beautiful.

[981661]

This is the Gunter-Kallmann-Chor. I have this version on an old Polydor vinyl I got about 1967/8. Other songs on the vinyl are Annabelle, Der Reigen(Straus), Toselli's Serenade, La Montanara, O Mein Papa..etc. Beautiful choir.

[sitedezynz]

981661 any way u can rip it to CD? I'll buy a copy from U!!

[thomasojii31]

Hi ! I have that on a CD. Let me know if you still need a copy.

[Gismo7189]

Indeed. I am 50 now and this music was and STAYS beautiful. I have lost the LP long time ago. But it was very beautiful.

[icvaslui]

Presupun ca este un film cu o poveste deosebita. Din pacate la noi in Romania, nu se prea difuzeaza filme germane, oricat de bune ar fi. De cate ori ascult muzica si vad imaginile am impresia sa ma transfer in alt timp si traiesc in Sighisoara, intr-o casa frumoasa si curata, in liniste si pace.

[icvaslui]

Muzica ca un clinchet de clopotei. Minunata aceasta varianta originala.

[speedyida]

This movie was also shown in English - '65 +/-. Please tell me te name in English.

[moinmoim]

The Girl and the Kaiser

[speedyida]

Thank you so much. I have been searching the internet and discovered there was a US version, but cannot locate it. I have been hunting this movie for years years. I am so grateful for this break.

[speedyida]

I found that it had been made a broadway production in 1910, but am looking for the movie made in the '60's.

[moinmoim]

hat jemand oder weiß jemand wo ich den kompletten film "Die Försterchristel" auf DVD bekomme?

[oobovril]

Gunter Kallmann Choir at it's undoubted best !!...What is the name of this film ?

[user28356]

The name of this film is "Die Försterchristel"

[oobovril]

Thank you, was that the actress Doris Kirchner in the horse drawn coach?

[musicmandan1]

alpen bells!!!

[rhodesiahouse]

I say...a bit thick! Rather sends a chill down ones spine, wot? All those cute little nazi's singing their hearts out to Bing's Elizabethan Serenade. Duck every one!!!

[traverscm]

You are wrong ! They are Jewish children!

[icvaslui]

Minunata muzica - un clincket de clopotei .

[markwak71]

I remember hearing this on the radio on the BBC Light Programme, before it was Radio1 when I was a kid with my mother, God rest her soul, I am now 45 and it reminds me of yesterday!! Brilliant Gunther Kallman and his choir!!

[The7thInn]

So beautiful:)! Thank you to my friend for sharing this with me!!!

[sitedezynz]

Oh my goodness!!  It IS Gunter Kallmann Choir!! How I've looked for this for decades. Thank you, Thank You!!!! Danke Schon!!!

[thomasojii31]

Is this the Gunter Kallmann Choir?

The video is beauitful!!*****

[sitedezynz]

Yes thomasojii31... by all accounts it is indeed the Gunter Kallmann Choir. There's no mistaking those BELLS! I would love to see the entire album uploaded of "Serenade for Elisabeth".

[The7thInn]

Thank you so much for sharing this with me:)! It is one of my favorite songs!!!

[114Pilot]

FINALLY!! Gunter Kallmann and his fabulous chorus. Thank you.

[oldiesfreek]

Yes, finally!! I have been wondering if this was the famous Gunter Kallmann choir... thanks 114Pilot! :) However, I can't find the complete song anywhere in the internet...I think you can only purchase the CD or vinyl online...

[pampampolacke]

mais c'est la version originale? hein? Comme c'est beau! Merci, merci!

[EzrabarYoel]

La version originale était par Robert Binge et chorégraphié par Montovanni (orchestre de Montovanni), il n'y a aucun mot à la composition originale. Le titre de cette composition est « Elizabethan Serenade ». Il y a plusieurs versions sur You Tube.
