If I Loved You and the sublime People Will Say We're In Love were both written because Carousel and Oklahoma needed a 'love song' at the end of the first act but it wasn't time in the story for the characters to be really in love. What a brilliant idea both songs were and so true to the hesitant, questioning way two people really do fall in love.

Those two guys knew exactly how to craft the perfect love song. The melody and lyrics are perfect and the harmonies sublime. God, they were good!

Sierra Bogess's vocal's NEVER fail to leave me speechless. She is so beautiful and her voice is absolutely amazing! :D

JULIAN AND SIERRA! WOW! Julian and Sierra are both amazing talents- two of the best singers ever! I think they are simply wonderful together. In my view, they are the new versions of Gordon McRae and Shirley Jones! How wonderful!

Julian Ovenden 8 years on and he played the French plantation owner in South Pacific at Chichester Festival Theatre. One word describes his performance - stunning.

their chemistry on stage is just perfection 👍👏👏👏

Rogers and Hammerstein had so many hits and wrote extraordinary music and lyrics. The Sound of Music; South Pacific; The King and I; Oklahoma; and many others. And I was lucky enough to live in NYC and see them all on Broadway with the original casts.

Sierra Boggess .... a massive talent .....how she makes Carousel live again.....

Of course, it is difficult at best and perhaps inequitable to compare performers from one generation to those of another-especially to those who originated roles so very long ago. Still, I can state that this performance is as close to perfection as Rogers and Hammerstein could envision.

she's absolutely amazing -- her talent is prodigious . . . . she fits perfectly with Julian Ovenden ... their voices meld beautifully! sometimes it makes me cry with the beauty of their singing, interpretation!

She is so stunning.. what a Magical Voice.. no wonder she is picked to play all these leading Roles in Musicals..... she sure has everything.....

Sierra and Julian make life a bit of heaven. They rise above just singing with their terrific acting.

what a stunning and graceful voice. Sierra Boggess never ceases to amaze me.

Arguably the most enchanting beautiful duet of all R & H's repitoire, and these two nailed it.

It's got the most exquisite lyrics. All the way through, the lyrics match the characters. Brilliant writing lyrically.

I agree. I would love to see a revival of “Carousel” with Sierra and Julian. They are two commensurate performers! Bravo to the two of them.

Fantastic music from the musical geniuses Rodgers and Hammersmith.

Carousel was the first musical I watched as a kid along with Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals. They were the reason I became a Theater fan. To this day, I would sing "If I loved you" during my childhood. Sierra really does a brilliant take on this heartbreaking song with that amazing voice.

Such a gorgeous song! Rogers and Hammerstein were musical geniuses! I wish I could sing like Sierra.

Lovely legato from both. Sierra goes a tad sharp on high notes when she puts intensity into the sound....I hope she will work to correct this. Julian a bit too " refined" here, needs some element swagger and naughtiness!. But a wonderful performance from both.

Absolutely wonderful! Sierra and Julian are magical!

Beautiful. Perfect song. I love these two together anyway and the sounds that John Wilson's orchestra can make are simply sublime.

They are fabulous together!

Thank you forever John Wilson and BBC Proms! You have reintroduced some of the brightest and best musicals. Add Sierra and Julian and we’re all rendered spellbound. And thank you Rogers and Hammerstein for these priceless songs with genius lyrics. Just one request: maybe Jerry Herman in the future? Just a thought🥰

I watch these two over and over so glad for whoever put them on.

Omg, what beautiful voices!!!

An out of this world song sung by fantastic singers

These two fabulous vocalists sing so well together! They sing with passion and conviction.

Wonderful no other words.❤💙

Music from "The Musicals" does not get better than this - fabulous vocal dexterity from Julian and the gorgeous mega-talented Sierra - great work guys !!

One of my favorite love songs sung by two of my favorite singers. This is a treat. Thank you for uploading. :)

What a gorgeous pair. I've seen her on stage twice. Amazing.

I'm not a particularly flimsy bloke (even though I'm a musician), but this song has always affected me emotionally. Wonderful.

The perfect duo for this song. Truly wonderful.

Everything about this is beautiful. And I love the wink from the conductor. It makes me miss my old orchestra days :)

Her singing voice is out of this world, and unrivaled, and indescribable, The beauty of her singing voice is outclassing

Oh my... I'm in love!!! These two are just the beez neez :D

I love this performance and the performers

These two are incredible they sound absolutely amazing,,!

Such a classic. Incredible music! Such emotion and sadness, two people who can't admit they love each other.

Wow. Her voice sounds like a butterfly gently lighting onto a dew-kissed rose petal.

Julian Ovenden is so incredibly talented. Why do we not see (or hear) more from him? After Bocelli, he's my favorite singer.

What magnificent voices. And what a wonderful score!

This is the perfect love song . ❤

Sierra is the most beautiful and wonderful woman I've ever heard and seen!

the expressions and timimg is great

Ah! stirs up the old memories of a bittersweet love.

Splendid!!!!!

The announcer may have remarked that Oklahoma! was respectful of rural life. That is so true and needs to be said now more than ever as the rural expanses of America empty out. Great singing here, really great.

I love watching these two across each other. They play off each other so well.

How the singers and the orchestra and the song and and and and - divine!

Great song, superbly well written, orchestrated, and performed. Sierra and Julian are simply faultless. A wonderful celebration of boys and girls. IF.....Absolute denial of the thunderously obvious. This particular version has become a very personal favorite. Thanks Hrern!

Julian Ovenden is amazing. Love his rendition of "If I Loved You".

Been through that at least a couple of times, maybe more, probably anyway. I consider this song to be one of my favorites. Life is making memories. This couple’s most delightful performance has given me one to remember.

Perfection!

Sierra is beautiful, her singing is engaging, her performance is outstanding

Sierra has the voice of an angel

I have been glued to this wonderful orchestra and singers, unwilling to watch tv or read any of my books. Their talented ability to perform Broadway or movie musical scores has no competition. I mentioned what I am hearing to anyone who will listen to music on UT. I bought one cd of John Wilson and orchestra' from Amazon to have on other devices as Alexa. My speakers on the pc are better than she has. NC.

bittersweet memories of the fragilty of love.

Tow of the best i love them both

my favourite musical

best version

Beautiful

Only one word - wonderful.

What a performance to listen to on a beautiful evening evening.

I love this song best version

Sierra is absolutely adorable with an amazing voice What a great pairing these two are

Julian Ovenden is one marvelously sensitive young man. He sees and feels the meaning in every syllable he sings then projects it with beautiful lyric intensity. A fine, highly polished performer is he, but I miss a certain element of swaggering loutishness -- of toughness -- that is an essential part of Billy Bigelow's character. Even so this is a very touching performance of possibly the most beautiful song in American musical theater.

Every so lovely! Thank you for posting.

When I worked in the mill, weavin' at the loom, I'd gaze absent-minded at the roof, And half the time the shuttle'd tangle with the threads And the warp'd get mixed with the woof, If I loved you? But somehow I can see just exactly how I'd be.... If I loved you, Time and again I would try to say All I'd want you^ to know- - - - If I loved you, Words wouldn't come in an easy way. Round in circles ^ I'd go- - - - Longin' to tell you ^ but I afraid and shy, I'd let my golden chances ^pass me by- - - Soon you'd leave me, Off you would go | in the mist of day, Never, never ^ to know- - - - How I loved you,- - - - ^ If ^I loved you- - - - - -

Nice voices. Pretty song.

Kingsley Pedlar I remember seeing this as a very young boy with my mom and sister. Very early 1950's, I think. My God, the power of that film cut right through every heart in the theater.

How could anyone not lost Sierra's voice

Three more great versions Erin Alcorn, Kelly O’Hara and Lesley Garrett. You will not be disappointed.

Sierra is stunning!! Amazing voice and a beautiful face!! :)

They cut this poor scene within an inch of its life, but God, what music!

They're so great together! And I think I remember reading somewhere that Carousel was Sierra's favourite musical?

My heart just melted! :)

Dreamy duet - magnificent

Her voice made me cry...

Gorgeous voices and not too much vibrato.

Heavenly!

Hope they come here Singapore 🇸🇬 🙏🏻

Love it!

Sublime!!! Maravilha!!! Os dois!!!!
