Last week I was thinking about God. It had been a difficult time in my life. I turned this Gloria on and burst into tears, and then into sobs - I was so transported. This piece, the execution of the choir and orchestra and the magnificent leading of the conductor made this moment perfect. One I shall never forget. What can I say more? I was transported to cry out myself, “Gloria in excelsis Deo 🎶.” Isn’t that what music is to do for us??!!?? 💗

Absolutely fantastic ❤️ Such a small choir with this performance, amazing 😇 I’m lucky enough to know how great this Gloria is from inside, from 2016 in Hungary 😊 The best piece of my life. And this is the best version on the Internet so far ❤️

Wunderschön, lieber WDR Rundfunk Chor!! Ich hab's Herbst 2018 mit meinem Chor in Wien gesungen. Soo sauschwer, aber soo genial schön! 🎵🎶

Einfach Wunderbar! Tolle Aufführung!

Magnifica presentación. Me conmovió mucho.

Bravo to the chorus and the orchestra. I would also like to add a bravo for the conductor, Simon Halsey!. My chorus is preparing this beautiful piece for performance in a couple of weeks, so I have been watching different performances on KZread -- right now, paying particular attention to the conductor, to see how they handle all the tricky rhythms. Maestro Halsey is the clearest, most precise conducting I have seen yet. I can always tell exactly where he is and what he wants.

The Norwich Cathedral will be performing this next Sat the 11th Nov, my So is doing the Boy-Treble Solo, as He is also doing the Solo in the Chichester Psalms

Even the MTC version (which is typically my standard for any choral piece) comes second to this one. I couldn't choose between either the choir or the orchestra because they were in what I call an escalating duel for beauty (and, so, they both win). As for that second movement, not taking one single thing away from the other two but... uff! Really well done WDR Klassik ❤ (P.S. I just loved the Nessun Dorma flashmob, too!)

Thank you! The recording is from 2021 and there were still COVID-restrictions in place, so that not as much people as usual could come.

Beautiful - Dynamic - Gloriously moving performance. Simon Halsey's conducting was impressive. I have participated in orchestras and choirs. He was very engaged in conducting the performance and easy to follow exhibiting more interest in conducting effectively than flamboyantly waving his arms .

Shout out to the Cavaliers for introducing me to this piece.

No. 1 the only selection I've performed, but know the whole composition recording under the direction of Rutter conducting The Cambridge Singers. Always an excellence in his works. His Manificat is a fave too.

Well, Rutter pretty much copied Walton (Belshazzar's Feast) in the beginning!

it's to slow,so boring
