This is a great compilation - but you have transcended the Baroque/Classical/Romantic/Modern boundaries. This is NOT a classical compilation - and where is the greatest of them all, JS Bach? Please learn about the history of music and when to apply the word "Classical"

Sorry - but you did post th...

Lovely accurate playing, well done. A liitle more attention to dynamics maybe, and those awkward scales in the development of 1st movement. A metronome wouldn't go a miss either. But your playing in the second movement is soooo much better, lovely.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had more talent in his little finger than Justin will ever have. Justin, what are constituent notes in a dominant-seventh chord in the key of Eb major? And which notes would you suspend and resolve in the style of J S Bach?

yes, he needs some "Head and Shoulders"!

FABULOUS!

She may have been the Queen's mother but she was also a Queen. HM Queen Elizabeth - consort to King George VI, that must never been forgotten. This is why such honour and pageant was afforded to her. True, she was almost single-handedly responsible for preserving the inertia our royal family suff...

Just listened to this again...just love the fabulous Eb chord the choir enter on, perfect! And its great to hear the boys singing so accurately. I reckon Sir David enjoyed every minute of this! I certainly did. You can hear all eight parts practically all the way through - something that can't be...

This is a great posting. So often we hear recordings on youtube of this concerto where the soloists make mistakes in the first passages of the first movement. From what I can see, this is faultless playing.

The F6s are slightlysplit, but I would have given anything to have had a voice like this at 16! Bravo Adrien.

Why do the stupid audience "aghh" and laugh and clap at this amazing boy's ability to hit top/top Fs? He quite rightly tells them to "shut the fuck up" at 1:03. They just don't get it, do they?

This has to be the most amazing contributions on YouTube. This aria is a serious challenge to any soprano let alone a boy treble, but this young man makes mincemeat of it! What a glorious sound. Justin Bieber fades into insignificance and nothingness. Robin, you must be 19 or so now and lost you...

Lovely - but treble was sharp in the final chord.

@Willieck01 errrr.............it was magpie4321 who called them adulterers, not me. I know the definition of adulterers, thank you! And like you say, this discussion has nothing to do with the music.

oohhhhhhhhh godddddddddddddd!!!!!!

Love the tenor part in "Mon ame se repose". Lovely, lovely....

Lovely, lovely. To really appreciate this one has to take part in person in the church at Taize. The hundreds of worshippers are taught the four parts at a practice every afternoon. This has the wonderful effect of most worshippers singing in 4 part harmony. An experience, I can tell you.

@UnoriginalComposer The words are "Let all the servants of the Lord, His worthy praise proclaim"

@jgesselberty He he! I had a similar experience at the Royal Albert Hall last month - there were two guys next to me who obviously had tickets bought them corporately and who remained completely blank all the way through. Behind me was a young lad of about 15 with, I think, his mum. When I turned...

Sublime, sublime! I have often wondered what Walford-Davies would have done with this beautiful poem. Nevertheless, I prefer Holst if we are singing this as a congregational hymn tune - but Darke has it for a choir version. This is just lovely. Thank you for posting.

@SATANECRONOMICUS Quite right Satanecronomicus, I, for one, really struggle to compare and contrast our popular "so called" musicians like Gaga and Beiber (talented as they are within the electronic medium their masters prepare for them) with Mozart. Mozart was a prodigious genius - quite simple ...

Very well played, you two. Lovely. A few technical errors in the Wiessmann transcription but I soooooooooooo prefer yours to Lin and Han. You play with far more understanding of the dynamics and lyricism than they do. I love this posting, keep playing..!

Technically superb! Very well done - Wiessmann's transcription is not as easy as it looks. You girls just lack a bit of emotion, dynamics and lyricism. If you can play that well (and trust me, you can) then put something of yourselves into it.

A very impressive performance on Ellacombes of change ringing.

The tenor at York is not the heaviest bell rung in the country. Emmanuel at Liverpool is the heaviest bell rung full circle in a change ringing peal - not just in the country but in the world.

@MIFFLISH Huge thanks for posting this - it is a truely marvellous sound - Solti has achieved the most sensitive recording of this I have heard. I have heard things in this I have not heard before eg the sustained bass notes at 8:00 just before the choir's final cadence and the organ final entry ...

@paulybarr Absolutely paulybarr, why oh why did this orchestra and Gergiev choose to perform this momumental symphony in a concert hall that doesn't have a bloody organ? The soprano soloists are not in tune and whole thing sounds amateurish and weak. Rattle's NYOGB posting takes some beating, I a...

Hooray for Zimerman - lovely lovely. And none of this nonesense like Sunwook Kim playing the final chords on the piano with the orchestra!

Oh nooooooo, this is too slow. This is not what Professor Ord intended. Listen to KIngs College, Cambridge

This is lovely, a perfect combination of Proctor's poem, Arthur Sullivan's sublime music and Kyle's performance. Thank you!

I'm sorry but I completely fail to see the point of this. Organising a group of peoples' phones to ring simultaneously is NOT a symphony, its a crappy pointless novelty that sounds, well, stupid.
