The astonishing sound of metal and wood

A wonderful performance of one of the greatest English choral pieces. Bravo to the soloists, the choir, the orchestra and Brabbins who shapes it with such loving care.

Glorious! Words fail me.

God Bless you Sir Herbert,you are with Michael and all your loved ones.We remember for ever!

The Rotterdam Symphony Chorus is quite wonderful here!

Sublieme uitvoering en wat een schitterend Nederlands koor en dan het zichtbare plezier en toewijding waarmee dat ene vrouwelijke koorlid er uitspringt! De uitvoering van dit werk door dezelfde dirigent in Londen is ook heel fijn.

Sublime!

Oh my! Beautiful. Love it. Everyone excellent. May God bless one and all. Thank you. This meant a lot to me.

Sooo beautiful I‘m looking forward to singing this in February with my choir!!!!!! What a wonderful piece of heaven

Uma das maiores obras da música inglesa. Belíssimo trabalho artístico desses intérpretes.

This is wonderful music of its time. I'm ashamed that I do not know more of Howells's music - I intend to change this immediately and have already found his Cello Concerto on KZread

Superb! thankyou for posting. The soloists are excellent, and the conductor as outstanding here as he was at the Proms.

The best version ever! So beautiful

This is a real music

This is a wickedly hard piece to sing emotionally, vocally and musically...These guys were amazing! And the choir is the right size!

Wonderful score, Pfitzner's fragmentation of Palestrina could be felt in this massive work of Howells, truly beautiful, thanks

The conductor looks like a hologram sometimes 😅 I will forever love the sanctus, it holds a very dear place in my heart and this performance is beautifully done.

So beautiful. I just finished my hard work week and sat in my kitchen. Pulled out my cell phone and found this. 45 minutes but I had time. Worth every minute. I love it

FANTASTIC.

Love from India ❤️🇮🇳😊

The most powerful piece I know. Many, many thanks.

This is a posting that really could do with subtitles even in English - especially if the intent is to bring new listeners to Howells' work. I know that will sound Philistine to some but I am afraid it is a modern reality - especially with a work this involved.

Exceptional.........bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Zeer ontroerend, en fantastisch uitgevoerd.

This music is mentioned in Koe' s book Bournville.

Stunning, no words.

Amazing.

Welcome best I like it

This is absolutely sublime. Thank you for posting this!

An astounding performance, loving and inspiring. It is certainly the best available on video. Thank you to all involved.

great

Well done.

This is rich. Lovely in every way :)

The solo soprano was probably why the no. of views is so low. Everyone else was fantastic.

thornsaresharp Realistically and fairly the reason for the “low number of views” is because this piece isn’t better known. I was at the concert and the soprano soloist, Sarah-Jane Brandon, was sublime!

@@thornsaresharp : I'm glad you wrote that. I'll bypass her when I get there in this performance. This piece is *not* opera (fortunately) so noticeable vibrato is unnecessary. This is a symphonic choral work. Too often exaggerated vibrato is used to cover up technical problems as well as pitch problems. I have really enjoyed the Symphony Chorus and Orchestra so far. But "neighing horse," I like that description. That describes most vocal soloists with their wobbling vibrato, from my experience. Thanks for that.

32:52 - 33:30 this is the best for me

Thanks to Jonathan Coe(Bournville) for drawing my attention to this wonderful piece of music!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

im not very well versed in classical music, but this is the type of stuff im looking for. any suggestions for similar types of music?

You might try Faure`s Requiem, it has many beautiful parts and is not difficult for ``beginners`` in classical music. For something more dramatic and large scale you could also try Vaughan Williams` 1st symphony `A Sea Symphony` scored for baritone, soprano chorus and orchestra - a great work for sure.

I would second Paul Lewis's suggestions, and add Maurice Duruflé's Requiem, which, like 'Hymnus Paradisi', brims with monumental tenderness and radiance.

@brendanroth1357

The Durufle Requiem for sure. Listen to the Howells Requiem as well, which is a lot of the same music as the Hymus Paradisi but a different (and in my opinion more suitable) feeling. And listen to Howell's large body of Anglican liturgical music especially his many settings of the evening canticles. Also stated below Vaughan Williams's Sea symphony. Vaughan Williams Serenade to Music is also very hip.

Darn, I guess that this choir at the beginning sounds like a game over screen as though you are with the stars. and the stars brightened up too much.

Get rid of the wobbly soprano. she ruins the whole performance.
