orchestra drops out + singers continue a capella = spine shiver and goosebumps
Gets me every time!
Playing this opera and this piece in particular is definitely the highlight of my orchestral career... when the orchestra drops and the choral continues-- it gets me every time!
Bernstein’s Masterpiece 💜
wow - this is of the two top versions I've ever heard(and I've heard lots of them). the part where the orchestra drops out was AMAZING!!!!!
Every so often I search this out, it's breathtaking, and I am moved every time I listen. Saw it performed at Symphony Hall. Fantastic!
Oh God, do I miss Lenny! But I'm so grateful for all he's left behind for us.
Lucky enough to hear Julien Ovenden sing this at Symphony Hall in Birmingham at a concert a few years ago. What a fantastic finale to a musical!
This ALWAYS makes me BURST out in tears....Partially cos my Garden is f*****! Lolol. But every hair on my body stands on end and the tears just roll. What exquisite writing....and this an earth shattering performance. THANK you.
So inspiring "We're neither pure nor wise nor good, we'll do the best we know"
A trick: watch series at KaldroStream. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Orlando Aiden Yea, I've been watching on kaldroStream for months myself :D
I could watch and listen to Julian all day! Sigh....so beautiful!
Love Julian Ovenden. Beautiful voice.
Such a powerful song
Chills! This is one of the most perfect bundles of talent ever caught on film! 😵
3:07 mark is the spine tingling, chilling, magnificent
jesus that final note from the trumpet 😩
So beautiful... The song... the singers... the orchestra... awesome... everything was perfect
I sang this in a chorus. It is REALLY HARD. They did a superb job!
@@robertmacfarlane8988 Really hard, but so worth it! (as so much music is!) I crewed a show just recently for a choir and orchestra that performed this. Even from the wings, youtube DOES NOT by any means do this piece justice!
@@ryano.5149 Worth it, for sure! And you are right about hearing it live. Recall struggling with the nuances in 'Three Coins In the Fountain' in 4 part (all male). But when you GET IT RIGHT!
Tears of such sweet and tender beauty..
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Thank you, John Wilson!
Chills, every time!
Julian Ovenden 😍
Wow and wow .....
LOVE this selection from Candide! Wish I lived in the UK!
why? It's American
Simply stunning!
Happy Birthday,Leonard Bernstein.
“Any questions?” - no. No more questions.
Never saw the show in it's entirety but the "any questions" always pull me out of it.
Within context of the entire opera, it makes complete sense. And I would think it was also meant to pull you out of it. Just to f*ck with the audience one last time.
Wonderful.
Best ending of a musical, second is Sunday In the Park With George. The best 1st act ending is A Weekend In the Country from A Little Night Music.
“A Little Priest” & “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” are right up there!!!
Beautiful ❤️
Thanks for the beautyful song!!!!!♡!!
JOHN GRAVITYS CG please in
WOW!!
Julien from Downton Abbey! What a voice and so handsome. I wonder if the opening notes inspired “ The Great Mandala” by PP&M.
I love that the endiing is sort of Maria and it makes me crazy
this is a certified banger 🔥🔥🔥
This is great! But sometimes I watch the BBC Proms and think that Julian Ovenden is the only tenor in the UK, not that I'm complaining
+Aristeidis Tsialos This is his first prom concert since 2012
+Aristeidis Tsialos I'm so glad that he's come back to the Proms with new songs as i'd been listening to the same songs from his previous appearances on the Proms.
Aristeidis Tsialos 😂 true! I love Julian O forever but do wonder about other tenors in bbc
check out vintage Fleming Hadley and Co. doing this one.
Learn what a tenor is, honey.
You've been a fool and so have i
But come I'll be your wife
And let us try before we die
To make some sense of life
We're neither pure nor wise nor good
We'll do the best we know
We'll build our house and chop our wood
And make our garden grow
And make our garden grow
I thought the world was sugar cake
For so our master said
But now I'll teach my hands to bake
Our loaf of daily bread
We're neither pure nor wise nor good
We'll do the best we know
We'll build house and chop our wood
And make our garden grow
And make our garden grow
Let dreamers dream what worlds they please
Those edens can't be found
The sweetest flowers
The fairest trees
Are grown in solid ground
We're neither pure nor wise nor good
We'll do the best we know
We'll build our house and chop our wood
And make our garden grow
And make our garden grow
Love that high d on the trumpet in the finale
mike lovatt!
Julian Ovenden is my new crush
Me too, and I'm not gay!
I bet you could show him what to do with his arms.
A very nice rendering, but the late Jerry Hadley is still the Olympus.
Julian Ovenden is unic
Very similar to "Luke & Leía Theme" (The first five notes of the melody) by John Williams. This musical theme was used in Star Wars Episode III. "The Return of Jedi".
Fantastic song, beautiful melody and lyrics, wonderful orchestral scoring - so so singers.
Yeah the female soloist's intonation... Oof
I’m positive 90% of the people complaining about the singers are mediocre themselves.
I wish someone would teach Julian Ovenden what to do with his arms!!!
yeah ... wrap them around me!
He should sing "What Do I Do with My Hands" over and over until he gets it!
It's really a shame that most orchestras give much priority to baroque, classic and romantic periods over more modern composers.
One of the most moving operatic finales. Tenor never stops moving his head and eyes. Obviously not an actor, and this is a concert performance, but this could have done with a director!
Funny. I’ve seen him often on British TV, most recently as the doomed son of Inspector Foyle on the excellent “Foyle’s War.”
Bernstein at his very best
It's what I sing in lieu of "The Star-Spangled Banner". Quietly.
Just found this. You're my people.
Exactly. I am a first generation immigrant and after 36 years in US I came to the conclusion that the finale of Candida “And make our garden grow” is much deeper and truer to the American spirit than “Oh, say, can you see”.
❤
I love Streisand singing this
This is a fine performance - as the Proms should be - but the most perfect I have found was a "staged concert" a few years earlier in NYC. New York Philharmonic, Conductor: Marin Alsop, starring Paul Groves and Kristin Chenoweth. Groves couples a magnificent voice with a bumptious boyishness and Chenoweth IS Cunegonde!! 4'10 and a powerhouse coloratura! The entire performance is also posted on RUclips - a national treasure. The vocal clarity from itty bitty Kristin down to the full chorus is amazing.
Pepper Hume u
Kristen Chenoweth??? *puke, puke, puke* !!!
The problem wit that semi-staged production was the poor direction; the comedy was ladled on so thick it drained the life out of the bitter sweet show.
Yo how are some people complaining about the Tenor’s voice?
James Boyle because it’s not that great
Does anyone else hear pieces of Luke and Leia by John Williams in this piece?
Lot's a comments on this site about the male lead, but what about the female lead? Is it Barbara Cook? She's great. She hasn't the natural timbre of Susan Boyle but her voice soars.
Barbara Cook. The late Ms Cook would have been 88 when this concert was staged! No, it's Scarlett Strallen who performed in Candid in a terrific small scale production at London's award winning Menier Chocolate Factory.
OMG i'm sitting here looking at Julian Ovenden thinking i've seen him before somewhere, where have i seen him. IN PERSON OF INTEREST, WTH???
littlefurnace Downton Abbey Season 4
Julian played JFK in SMASH...
Also the main character’s son in Foyles War (BBC)
officer Krupke?
Cricketshrimp 333 my thoughts exactly. It was a great rendition!
This is a great performance overall, although I would not be inclined to cast Julian Ovenden, whom I almost always adore as Candide. He is too much baritone and not enough really free tenor to do full justice to the role. John Wilson makes magic with what ever he conducts with his orchestra.
The opening sounds like somewhere lol
Music by Lenny that's why.
1st!
Im Always Third
Oof at that high trumpet at the end, why stick out tho
It's a bit of a mixed sentiment - the garden grows without you
It grows better with you, though!
you must never have gardened
Uhhhhhhh ahaha why!!???? Why!? Why? Man. Uhhhh.
And yet it was a Broadway flop. Maybe they would be ready for it now
Is there nothing Mark Wahlburg cannot do?
what... I hope they all love it in there live watching.
here... listening... I was afraid if my parents ask me to shut down my computer.... I think they're over-power? And, when the orchestra was off, it made more uncomfortable to listen it.
Sorry.
this piece is a scream fest, so I get where you're coming from, but that's what makes it exciting!
+Ashlee Bickley hahahah
+Aurora Esterlia This is an unusual song, only familiar with one tune from 'Candide' not this song, the lyrics are almost laughable, but i will listen to almost anything Julian Ovenden sings, except his 2 cds, just don't like them, as he is not a crooner like Frank Sinatra, but sings these songs from Broadway musicals.
Ashlee Bickley that's why I love the song. There's so much emotion from everyone.
gossamerwings
have you understood the lyrics yet? I love it them. And in the face of such a bad year as 2016 it's nice to think we can make own own lives strong while the world goes mad around us.
The tenor has a pleasant voice, but not nearly the power and depth of timbre for this ensemble. Watch the Gold Standard--Jerry Hadley and June Anderson. The Soprano also is too light/lyrical for this Verdiesque finale.
Michael Miller Verdiesque? Surely you’re joking.
The role of Cunegonde is a lyric coloratura. Barbara Cook originated the role, beautifully!
June Anderson sang in the first opera I ever saw ... how lucky was that?
His head shaking is distracting. I had to look elsewhere to enjoy it.
Great orchestra, great music, but the singers... Not that good, basically the ones in the middle
Nur Subi Barbra slated it in here
Agreed
a huge meh.
Julian ovenden voice is irritating hear
He reminds me of the teacher from Peanuts.
I agree. Very back in the throat sound and far too much vibrato.
Bro. How does he make a living doing this?? This is not very good. I’m not being nice. I’ll put 50k down that I can do it better. Anyone want to bet
This is the most boring and lifeless version of this that I've ever heard and I didn't think that was possible for such a wonderful song. What a disappointment.
what would like them to have done to make it less boring....dance? use jazz hands? I've seen 8 or 9 live versions of candide, including new york city opera and broadway - and everyone just stands there and sings this amazing finale. the music and lyrics speak for themselves.
@@maestromuffin1 There's no emotion in it. No feeling. No expression. You can give music all of those things while standing still.
Another mis cast Candide, lead. Blah Julian
