Finally, this beautiful tune has arrived in Germany!

How can you judge intonation with such a vibrato? It's cheating!

[AntPDC]

Doesn't Deborah Hawksley look ravishing! I loved her singing too.

@wodantheviking Actually, it was William Booth, the founder of The Salvation Army, that said "Why should the devil have the best tunes"? when they started using Variety Halls tunes on their hymns, very effectively I might add.

Charlotttenburg!

every country in the world has beautiful music, and even more beautiful is when the music is spiritual

[astrolog7000]

Such a glorious hymn! Wonderful! I wish we sang it here in America all the time, at every church service.

@fluteceleste Was it not a German who said that England is a land without music? That may be one opinion, but we definitely have the best tunes! :) Also someone else, probably a Pope said "Why should the devil have all the best tunes"? Did he mean us the English? Possibly, protestant heretics are the majority.

p.s. Handel, Beethoven and Bach are the greatest classical composers in my humble English opinion, so I am no chauvinist (excellent French word)

Deborah Hawksley is dynamite; Scott Lawton and the orchestra are easily a notch up from the Proms. If you like "Jeruslem", solo, this is it.
