There are notes and progressions in this piece of music which are incredibly evocative of loss, and yet comfort. Nostalgia and warmth. It never fails to move me.
2022. It's the 150th birth-anniversary of RVW this year which means a lot of music. And although I'm a chorister (and we're doing lots of RVW soon), this is still his utmost best. And a stellar performance of it too.
I’m listening to this in 2022, all though I’m not sure simply listening fully justifies it, more like enthralled and mesmerised, such a beautiful rendition.
Yes, this is the virtual end of romanticism and what a way to end an era. The orchestra is sublime with the conductor paying such great attention to the details of dynamics as does Janine Janson. Truly wonderful.
When I listen to this, over and over, the years pass by. I’m 67 today. I always remember my mum and think of her as a little girl during the blitz over England. She and her Mum lived in a type of caravan on the edge of a field in the country. There house in London was no more and her father was a POW someplace. This tune for me reminds me of the very best of England of those days. Thanks Ma for my life. Your memory is cherished .
When my grandfather died of COVID 2 years ago I listened to this piece a lot - I always imagined him flying off into the twilight. Very good performance from Janine.
With any version of this piece, the journey to twilight would be a wonderful tour of an astounding melody.. It is a work we should all find and pass on..
Vaughan Williams' contribution is understood, that's the context for a comment about the _performance_. As to Hilary Hahn, she is an admirable thoughtful interpreter, but where her performance is thought out like a paradigmatic chess game designed by an expert, this particular Jansen performance (as opposed to the available recording) has a quality of candid intense emotional expressiveness operating within a disciplined musical framework.
The bird hugs the wind, the wind carries the bird. I don't know of any other recording achieving this effect. Even her Decca recording is not quite like that. Amazing.
This specutacular masterpiece Janine Jansen plays with exquisite skill and incomparable technique and splendid attire reminds me of the countryside near my hometown that I saw with my mother when I was a child . At that time , as a matter of course , at noon , the soaring larks chirp in the sky , and there were an amazing number of fireflies flying in the rice paddies at night . It's a distant , distant memory of a time when I was infant and my late , beloved mother was young and beautiful From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

Such sweetness and gentleness. Such intimacy and grandeur captured into one. I've loved this piece for many years. It's wonderfully interpreted by Ms. Jansen and the orchestra. I'm full of gratitude.
This is such a Beautiful masterpiece of Music, it truly makes you dream along. And kudos to Janine Jansen (after Iona Brown, my favourite violinist to play this masterpiece) and the Orchestra for playing this with such feeling
I used to be a hippie kid from the 60s high on Jimi Hendrix (which is still okay) But now I can't even describe the beautiful visions that this music puts in my head 🤯 NOW I am "experienced" 😁 And oh my God she is SOOOOO gorgeous🤗
I’m playing this for a recording, I can only hope to sound as amazing as she does. The intimate nuances of her sounds creates such a vivid image of the lark rising, the wind catching under the wings as it drifts higher into the sky.
I hope you can exceed her actually! Any great would want that. Janine is wonderful... she is not playing the violin though... she becomes the violin. Become the violin!
That single cello-lead at 12:20 is always sends shivers up my spine. Vaughan Williams truly was a musical genious, who, like all Britons at the time, searched for ways to release their inner-demons.
I love that line too! And as a violist, I can't miss the opportunity to point out violas also have the same line as the cellos here ~ you can kinda hear them haha. Anyway that part is so beautiful ㅠㅠ
This was filmed well with camera focusing on the individual instruments being played when it was that instrument's turn. The audio wasn't great, but this still a sublime piece of music.
I first heard this on the radio around 2009, back when I regularly listened to classical music. This is back when I'd also regularly listen to A Prairie Home Companion, From the Top, etc. I was immediately taken by the haunting beauty of this piece and reference it whenever I can, which isn't very often, sadly.
Colossal🎀 I'm on cloud🏵️🏵️🏵️ There is something extraordinary in this performance she plays with splendid skill , To my discerning ears , her exquisite performance sounds comfortable . From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
This amazing piece was forwarded to me by such a wonderful reiki master in a time of need. Thank you. Its incredibly heart felt💞💞💞💞 listening to repeatedly its soothing my heart so much
Beautiful performance, one of the best I've ever seen of any classical piece. Janine played this on Wednesday (13th August 2014) at the Proms, which was perhaps even better though as far as I can see there was no televised screening of it, though I sincerely hope one will appear at some point!
I myself prefer the speed. It seems like there is lot of empty spots when others play this piece of fantastic music. Love how she seems to make love to the violin.
As classical musician (for over 20 years) I do like the theme of this piece..... but bloody hell... Vaughan Williams goes on and on and on with this one with not much variation at all! 14:30 minutes or so? This would make a great 5 or 6 minute piece. I get bored after that... I get the beauty of course, but I think the style of it should change many more times that it "does".
+Jagdtiger74 You are obviously young and healthy and are ignorant of the fact that coughing is mostly an involuntary reflex that the cougher has no control over. And it doesn't necessarily mean the cougher is ill and should have stayed home.
My favourite piece of music of all time
Completely agree!
There are notes and progressions in this piece of music which are incredibly evocative of loss, and yet comfort. Nostalgia and warmth. It never fails to move me.
Who is listening to this in 2021? Just brilliant

the world has moved on. We have dramatic violinist now with movie back drops. And the there is Hilary Hahan.
@@tufur08 Hahn,,,,and shes brilliant

「The Lark Ascending 」is the brilliant crystal of Ralph Vaughan's aesthetics .
From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun .
I am smiling with joy🎉 and crying with sadness knowing that beauty is yearning to be heard❤
Thank you for posting this lovely music 😊
Funny -that's how I feel listening to this - I just couldn't articulate it
This tune often comes to mind when I'm walking in the fields around Preston. It's evocative of an irrecoverable time not so long ago.
My life is so sad but this song fills me with hope.
I feel the same way.
Wishing you the very best.
Another beautiful performance by Janine. She really evokes a profound appreciation of that lark . Thank you.
I just can't stop listening to this! What are you doing to us Janine Jansen?! You're not playing violin you're playing our souls!
Salar Kalantari listen to the hilary hahn version ....
I THINK VAUGHAN WILLIAMS HELPED OUT A BIT TOO......

Simply sublime. It sums up one's life cycle . It starts with a single line growing exponentially and ending quietly with a single line.
Vaughn William is a genius

12:20 - the most devastatingly moving chordal resolve
This is such a Beautiful masterpiece of Music, it truly makes you dream along.
And kudos to Janine Jansen (after Iona Brown, my favourite violinist to play this masterpiece) and the Orchestra for playing this with such feeling
This sounds very similar to the music composed for western cowboy movies of the late 1950’s into the 60’s.
One of my favorite pieces and violinist.
I could listen to this all day; it just never gets old.
I used to be a hippie kid from the 60s high on Jimi Hendrix (which is still okay)
But now I can't even describe the beautiful visions that this music puts in my head 🤯 NOW I am "experienced" 😁

I haven’t read the other comments, but even in this hall, considering everything before it, this girl is catastrophically amazing

I went to see Janine Play this piece on Wednesday at the proms, breath taking...you could hear a pin drop as everybody listened to her fingers move
Wow. I’m speechless. 😮
Stunning performance. Magical.

An evocative solo performance, beautifully framed by the BBC Proms.
Sublime! Bravo!

Good we need it.

Beautiful! Really nice. She looked like she was enjoying herself and that's what matters
The performance is beautiful. I feel it's a little faster than the version I listen to most often. I suppose everyone has their preferred style.
I myself prefer the speed. It seems like there is lot of empty spots when others play this piece of fantastic music. Love how she seems to make love to the violin.
spellbound.
I remember n=my Dad and my sister she played this on the violin xx
Wow.
The audio isn't great, but this music is supreme.
Maravilloso..¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Precioso
Wondermooi gespeeld door mijn landgenote!
Pristine and superb.
It's odd. but once the music starts, I can't hear any coughing. It's like Glenn Gould's humming. It all just fades away.
My favourite composer, a beautiful girl and a £10m violin. It doesn't get better than that.
I am an old bird trying still to fly but I just go smoothly down but who cares, it was a good flight....
😊
True
how DARE those people cough OFF KEY!!!!!
haha~ yeah, it sounded like a tuberculosis ward in the beginning
No orchestra/conductor credit?
Conductor Barry Wordsworth BBC Concert Orchestra
Who's conducting?!

This would make a great 5 or 6 minute piece. I get bored after that...
I get the beauty of course, but I think the style of it should change many more times that it "does".
The best from the very best composer - and he's English, of course...
One day the god of music will kill those coughing people that fuck up every life performance.
you should have read below: this is a performance for the pneumonia society, or something in that respect
Well in the Title it says BBC Night of Proms
Jagdtiger74 True. But I understood this to for a special audience

It may be my comment you refer to Henk. I'm afraid however that it was made in jest.

How insensitive! Don't you know the special guests at this performance were the British Tuberculosis Sufferers Society?
Because they are human.
See, I would have liked this because the music is excellent, but the coughing is absolutely ridiculous.
정념
I LOVED THIS 30 years ago
It,s so beautiful
Can't people try NOT to cough for 15 minutes of their lives?
No, because coughing is an essential part of all live classical music recordings. It helps verify that it's real, not fake. Obviously.
More like the coughs and splutters ascending. 😢
Chinese influences or is real music universal??
Those last few notes whispered softly and tenderly in almost tangible solitude through the complete surrounding silence... Heartbreakingly beautiful.
