  • Originally supposed to be sung with a boys choir instead of women, but I think I like it better this way...

  • A beautiful sound, but why does the conductor take them through it like it's a race??!?

  • STOP NATURE BEING RUINED,stop tory nppf planNing laws..................,a ajudge said in latestcase if l aws are not consented to,it gets scrapped...do not comply,and nationally we can stop j nature being ruined............

  • castrato?

    

  • In case anyone wants to follow along to the meaning of the words, they are:

    Adonai ro-i, lo ehsar (The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want)

    Bin'ot deshe yarbitseini (He maketh me to lie down in green pastures)

    Al mei m'nuhot y'nahaleini (He leadeth me beside the still waters)

    Naf'shi y'shovev (He restoreth my soul)

    Yan'heini bma'aglei tsadek (He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness)

    L'ma'an sh'mo (For His name's sake)

    (sorry, I can't post them all in one comment-there's a character limit)

  • Vitas who? Zazzo is the best! and he actually sings live

  • AAA DOOOO NAIIIIIII JOJO BONITO BONITO

  • so i have been given the opportunity of a lifetime... My school choir is going to London where we will go to a few different venues and sing THIS! We had to go through an audition to get to go and i made it!... I have never been out of the country and i have never heard this piece until now ... and i must say i am ecstatic to have been given such an opportunity! ^^

  • Now a bit of useless trivia! LOL

    The music for this aria started out life as a song Bernstein wrote for a production of Thornton Wilder's play "By The Skin of Our Teeth"

    The production never came off and Bernstein eventually recycled it as this aria.

    The song was originally called "Spring Will Come Again" I should add it's only the song that Zazzo sings that was recyled.If you want to hear the original its(as a filler) on the CD of Bernsteins music for Peter Pan.

    It works both ways I think.
