PART 1. This is in my very humble opinion, THE most beautiful perfomance of the Tallis Fantasia that I've ever heard. Recorded in Gloucester Cathedral on 28th September 1998. Performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andrew Davis.

  • This is on a higher plain than most other music. The feelings in it are rare.

  • This is the most beautiful piece of music ever written. (And believe me, I have listened to a LOT of classical music) If you had to describe emotion to a stranger, this is what you would use. It makes you think of rolling green hills, seas, mountains, people you love, everything. Hooray for RVW!

  • outstanding

  • Where can I buy this? Does anyone have a link to a CD, etc.?

  • Painfully beautiful & powerful.

    Tears at my nonexistent soul.

    BTW, how can some miscreant dislike this?

  • What would I give just to visit for one day this "higher plane" which RVW has painted here...

  • this reminds me vividly of playing this piece in orchestra...i remember playing that high violin harmonic and just wanting to be a cello...not even to play one...just to be one...

  • beautiful 

  • You know something is incredible when it pulls you in and you aren't even a string player. (horn player) I can't stop listening to this piece. I need to get this recording!! Makes me curious though how it would transfer to a brass choir. The articulations change some things but I think the blend would be very close.

  • Awesome.

  • @3589546 I totally agree

  • @mrotwist BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andrew Davis...deviantrake included it as the info to this video.
