  • I remember seeing this on TV from the proms in 1993. A GREAT performance of a GREAT song.  Many, many thanks audiamus for putting it on youtube.

    By the way, does the poet write about the Highland clearances?

  • I'm glad to read, that we enjoyed this concert together, for I was standing among a thousand people in the arena of the Royal Albert Hall at the time.

    The poet was Robert Luis Stevenson, who wrote 44 poems all together in a collection called "Songs of Travel".

    The Dude, man!

  • Damn, Jeff Bridges can sing!

  • John Tomlinson sculpts "Wither Must I Wander" right off the page and into the air. The BBC SO shapes and colors the atmosphere's gusts and currents of sound and silence.

    This performance of Ralph Vaughan Williams' and Robert Louis Stevenson's work might remind one not to abandon life . . . what time one has left to live on this planet. The sole setting for love, hope, art and, naturally, life and death is Earth.

    Vaughan Williams' lofty and earthy compositions remind one to live. Now.

  • I love this song!! (:

  • So strong and full, yet so delicate.

  • Lovely voice and mixture of registers...Bravo!!!!

  • It's really good, and very professional, but this is a song I like to hear armatures sing. It's so much more enjoyable when it's sung smoothly, without so much vibrato.

  • Watch out Bryn Terfel.

  • ralph vaughan williams was a badass.

  • The only thing I don't like in this video is there's so little views
