Richard and orchestra do a superb job, such a beautiful, hauntingly sad piece - wonderful.

Richard Tognetti delves deeply into Williams piece as if he composed it himself. So heartfelt, and his tone is beautiful in all dynamic ranges. Poetry.

This masterpiece Richard Tognetti plays with great compassion , exquisite skill and incomparable technique reminded of me of the countryside near my hometown that I saw with my mother when I was little . At that time , as a matter of course , at noon , the soaring larks chirp in the sky , and there ！ an amazing number of fireflies flying in the rice paddies at night . It's a distant , distant memory of a time when I was little and my late , beloved mother was young and beautiful . From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

The movement starting at 7:33 is lovely. That takes the whole orchestra, especially the woodwinds excelling to making it all come together. And boy did they. Additionally, I love the embellishments they've added. I don't know if it's in the original score but I don't hear any other renditions doing it like this

So moving, beyond words.We send all these beautiful people off to fight corrupt politicians wars,who never suffer any consequences, and for what?. This piece so reminds me of my childhood,playing in the woods at the bottom of the garden, listening to the bird song and seeing the wild animals, very occasionally, running around. Beautifully played.Many thanks to all concerned from England.

Amazing this video has not gained more traction. He is lightyears ahead of the other versions in terms of turning this piece into something that literally sounds like a real slice of nature.

Transformative. I don't think this piece has ever been played as well as this before. Bravo, and thanks to Richard and the ACO - immensely moving.

If there is a heaven, this will be playing when we arrive.

His intonation is excellent, and overall, with passionate orchestra, best online version as of 2020. 'Advance Australia Fair."-from an American.

One of the best I've heard of this familiar piece.

Shieeet this is one of the best renditions/iterations of this. Very Australian in character. Incredibly beautiful

A haunting, beautiful tribute to the fallen at Gallipoli.

Lovely collage of pictures of the men who so faithfully served Australia in WWI. Thank you!

Exceptionally good performance of an exceptional piece of music

I can hear the bird sing. I see the bird fly. So beautiful. Thank you Richard Tognetti.

Wings are what the fallen deserve and Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra do this best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! startlingly sensitivity!!!!!! story telling through sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BRAVO!!!!!

When you listen to this music, you will see the flow of time and eternity

OMG all I could think of is my great uncle who died in WW 1. He wasn't Australian but Scottish. This hit me like a ton of bricks. Damn. All those brave young men . Magnificent

This piece reminds me of a much earlier time in my life. I can see the Lark Ascending as he or she begins the flight home in a clear cloudless sky. I open my eyes to those who can enjoy the pastrol sighting of rolling farm that is before me with a slight wind giuding me the beautity before me.

Another Australian use of 'The Lark Ascending' was in the 1987 film 'The Year My Voice Broke' - amazing how well it worked against the landscapes of the Monaro region of southern NSW.

Arguably one of the most profound & beautiful examples of English music.....

@@AndSendMe I wonder how many of those snobbish musicians would struggle to make it sound good themselves? Others fell for the trap of regarding RVW as a composer of 'cowpat' music.....never occurred to them to listen to his 4th or 6th symphonies.

@@pattomuso Partly it's a matter of confusing complexity with quality. I think there is a degree of legitimacy in having knowledge of the nuts and bolts of music lead one to lose appreciation for the simpler pieces, but I think academia amplifies this effect unduly in a second-handed sort of way, with students not having the courage to own their own taste and then it becomes a race for who is the most "sophisticated".

So moving, and so evocative of times past and lost. Tognetti and ACO really do this piece justice. Foolish, I suppose, to hope such events never recur. God help us all.

Amazingly well done, my favorite british composer. ❤️

I much prefer this performance over the recorded version by him and the ACO many years ago.

This is absolutely dauntingly beautiful. I am truly moved and affected emotionally by the sound your violin. I have not have this type of emotion from listening to a violin music for long time.

So moving. All I can think of is another piece by RVW that totally expresses the futility of war "Dona Nobis Pacem".

Great to see Vaughan Williams' famous piece used in a very different context, very fitting and beautifully played.

Gorgeously moving . . .

Gorgeous. I went past Gallipoli two times going to the Adriatic and again to Izmir when I was in Turkey some years ago.

magical.i crying

Beauty beyond words . . .

Without 「the Lark Ascending 」, the English music world would have been very lonely , and I would feel that the music world is like the taste of stale beer . I deeply love the melody of 「the Lark Ascending 」 As I compare it to listen to the performance of many performers , I can understand his performance is overwhelmingly outstanding . There is something extraordinary in this masterpiece he plays with splendid skill From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

"I do not order you to attack, I order you to die." - Inscribed on the monument commemorating the soldiers and officers of the 57th Regiment of the 19th Division, who all were killed in action. The inscription is Staff Lieutenant-Colonel Mustafa Kemal's famous command to his soldiers who ran out of ammunition and had nothing left but bayonets, on the morning of 25 April 1915, to meet the ANZACs on the slopes leading up from the beach to the heights of Chunuk Bair (Conkbayırı).

Exquisite. And very moving.

Piękny utwór, pochylam się mocno.

Truly inspired and heartfelt playing by soloist and orchestra. The combination of music and images is sad beyond words....

Beautiful

Sublime. A genius performance.

Beautiful 💖

Superb interpretation.

Wow

Beautiful....

I loved the faces of the soldiers which reminded me we send our young people off to kill and be killed. Words cannot convey the tragedy. Lark Ascending is profound, the uplifting of souls to a far better place.

Great Music, but turn the commercials off!!! They cut right into the music!!!

Excellent interpretation, bravo! Also great these few seconds of Beethoven and to quote Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's words ... congratulations, Australian Chamber Orchestra and Mr. Richard Tognett

Beautiful song after an horrible war.

VW's 3rd Symphony (1922) was called the 'Pastoral' but is even more clearly influenced by the war.

Do not ignore the ground on which you have walked, It is not ordinary soil. Reflect on the thousands of people, who lie beneath Without a shroud. You are the son of a martyr - Do not hurt your ancestor, Do not give away this beautiful motherland, Even if you have the whole world. - Inscribed on memorial at Gallipoli

Mi madre murió mientras sonaba esta pieza...

A lovely performance. However There is no reliable evidence to support the claim that he was working on it while watching British troops embarking for France. This was presented in a 2007 documentary about the composer, O Thou Transcendent, and the subsequent related BBC programme on this work. The original source for this story is RVW, the biography by his wife Ursula. She did not meet Vaughan Williams until 1938, 24 years after he'd composed the work. George Butterworth, who was killed in World War I and knew Vaughan Williams at the time of these events, recorded the fact that the composer was preparing for a lecture on Purcell when he wrote the piece. On 4 August 1914, the day that Britain entered the Great War, Vaughan Williams visited Margate for a week's holiday. It was not an embarkation point, so he would not have seen departing soldiers. The ships that he did see were engaged in preparatory fleet exercises. These were noted and documented by members of Ernest Shackleton's Endurance, which departed Margate around this time on its trans-Antarctic expedition. from Wikipedia

I know you need to make money by posting ads but placing them in the middle of this serene song absolutely ruins its effect.

sounds like a chinese song ? beautiful

Brother on brother war... Happening now. 👃

Can we just have a simple shot of the excellent soloist, along with some musically relevant angles, as perhaps when the horn or other solo makes a musical comment? That's it.. No misty bullshit shots, and uniform shots and long-distance shots?!! Seems to be a distinct quirk of most videos of the ACO. Just stop it !
