Cantamus - Bridge Over Troubled Waters

Outstanding British Girl Choir Cantamus performing on the annual Big Sing in 2006. This is usually recorded in the Royal Albert Hall in September of each year.

Some of the songs recorded at that time are broadcast in October, some are broadcast at New Years Eve. This song was broadcast in October 2006.

The soaring vocals in this song are performed by Lucy Hall, currently in her early twenties, and therefore having graduated from Canatamus. She is continuing her musical studies, and I wish her the very best.

This i sjust awfull!!!

This sounds like the old grandma behund you at church singing a hymn only she and the priest know...

Well, grifee,

Have you bad experiences with grandma's singing? Or don't you like hem to be old? Then I have bad news for you. Some 40 or 50 years from now, you will be very old too. Will you like it when your grandkids at that time make similar disparaging comments about your personal abilities?

Oh, as you seem to have experiences with old grandma's, may I ask how many of them you have got? Most decent people only have 2, but you? Have you had 10 of them? 20? 1000?

Uggh. Awful.

Dear Laura,

Do I take it you are a member of the choir? My heartiest congratulations for a superb performance!

It's one of my favourite versions of this song.

Dear Gerit,

Cantamus are indeed an excellent choir. Shaping and developing this choir has been Pamela Cook's life's work. The staff, girls, and associates are celebrating the 40th Anniversary this year. We are all grateful for your comments.

Dear Carolynn,

I believe you have been trying to answer my private message to you yesterday? If you did, I only received an incomplete message.

I had chills through the entire thing! It was that good!!

[ThatLadyCAD46]

This is a good version of Bridge Over Troubled Water as it is the original singers who performed on the choir's recording!

[ThatLadyCAD46]

ToMajestictoaster, The aahs accentuate the beauty of the choir's singing! It was arranged by professional's who know what they are talking about. Your opinion is just one view! The choir are truly awesome and very well trained!

[ThatLadyCAD46]

This is really good! The soloist reaches those high notes beautifully!

@grifee ok thats one vote for No and millions for yes the whole world cant be wrong saying this is the worlds best chior ? so i would suggest you shut up and never comment on thsi again untill you can learn to appreciate the true beauty of this chior

[only365days]

@MajesticTOASTER i get what you mean even though i am a big fan of this chior but the acustics were not very good for them here i would advise you to listen to them singing this song at a diddfent venue then you would mybe have a differnt opion
