If this doesn't rip out your heart strings you're dead.
Watch Master & Commander where the captain has to cut away his crew and shed a tear.

From the "Land without Music" comes the finest music ever written - strange.

@ShoeiBoy I have made a study of Romanesque/Gothic cathedrals, outside of Europe they are of course of a later date, mainly 19th c, and can unequivocaly say that England has the finest in the world so it's fitting that this masterpiece should be performed in such a setting.

The scale of the setting matched by the scale of the music

@RUSHFAN1A why is that?

This music is proof positive that there is a God.

Know what? I like the reverb. It's a piece of music based on an English melody from Shakespeare's time, when these churches were the center of the spiritual universe for the masses of Elizabethan England. It's only fitting that such a decidedly gothic piece of music be played in a wholly gothic church like this cathedral.

magnificent performance do you know if this is avaailable to buy in its entirety anywhere
-
the greatest music played in the greatest location, it doesn't get any better than this.



It looks as if the conductor could be Sir Andrew Davis....

Andrew Davis is the conductor. BBC symphony is the orchestra and Gloucester Cathedral is wonderful place where this orchestra plays. OK

A great fantasia. Good tempi, too much reverb but hey, it's the building. Unfortunately the screen resolution is set wrong, looks like 16:9 is displayed as 4:3.

It can change at any time. It is not a problem. Thank you for your observation.
