  • truely sensational no matter whos version i hear it brings tears of joy to my eyes as it makes me remember all the happy past Christmases with past much beloved relatives and friends that are no longer here it makes me feel truely blessed to have there memories. its such a powerfull song that should be played at this time of year with the others i.e. the drummer boy, silent night, hark the herald angels sing amoungst a few sadly Christmas is not Christmas no more its all give give so shamefull

  • This has to be one of the most beautiful Christmas songs ever - and sung by Dame Kiri makes it even better.

  • One of the wonderful things about music of this level of quality and beauty, is that it reminds us there is still so much good in the world, despite the violence and inequalities we see all around us.

  • Thanks for sharing.

  • Absolutely beautiful!

  • Actually I was not joking but asking. He is indeed the possessor of a magnificent tone. Thanks for the education. It was a bit too much to hope for, but stranger things happen every day. Just watch politics!

  • @45oldbear

    I hope you are joking!?

    This Michael George a wonderful operatic/oratorio bass baritone.

  • @holiday299

    Supreme.

    Breathing, conrol of sound.

    Dame Tiri is superb and Christina Rossetti's words are made for music and sound.

  • @BERSSIT I prefer this melody. It is far more delicate and beautiful IMHO.

  • This concert got me through my first Christmas away from home. Wonderful!

  • Who are "they"?  This version is the original!

  • This is not the melody they used to sing in the old days. Why do they change everything? the old melody was far more beatiful.
