No matter how many times I hear this, something within me swells with the music and makes me feel complete. Bravo!
One of the most sublime and most beautiful piece of music ever written...Thank you Orchestra and Sir Neville and Mr Elgar..
Makes the hairs stand up on the back of one's neck. Sir Neville had a great affection for, and affinity with this music. It was an honour to be a part of this iconic musical event.
Same here , great stuff, stirs the soul, what a piece of beautiful music , sends a shiver thru my whole body 🙂👍
This is such a glorious piece. The tympanist at 3:00 onward... he's putting his whole being into the playing. Incredible.
Each time when I listen to this wonderful piece of music, it gives me goosebumps. It's just overwhelming.
One of the greatest conductors who ever lived and a legendary music ensemble whose virtuosity is undisputed!
Yes, just yes.
Absotively-posilutely!
Mariner's interpreting Elgar's nimrod gave me aesthetic chills--and I'm not English. Music is the global language.
This is what heaven sounds like !!!
You're so right. So so right!
@@academyofstmartininthefields WE ARE so so right!
J aime beaucoup cette oeuvre , mais je n y aurais jamais pensé !!
C est plutôt retrouver son jouet d enfance , après avoir pleuré sa perte au son du prélude de Lohengrin !
Getting me through some hard times at the moment!
You are in good company!! @@kevvynolan8753
The best performance I have ever heard of Enigma Variations ، The Great Sir Neville Marriner Rest in Peace One of my biggest dreams is to one day conduct the Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields.
I dedicate this to my late father who died on the 20th January 2024. who respected, admired and enjoyed all of Elgars works. God I miss him, part of Sevenoaks died when my father died.
I'm sorry for your loss; a beautiful dedication. My dad died in January 2001 and I still miss him. Music like this reminds me of him, too, as he was a proud Brit even though he emigrated to Canada many years ago. May the music and memories sustain you in your time of sorrow.
I played this at my fathers too and everyone said it was the nicest and most suited to my father. That was 30 years ago. How we span time...
@@arbymusicaustralia I'm sorry for your loss (despite how long it has been; it's still a loss), and grateful this beautiful piece of music has meant so much to many of us in our times of sorrow. Blessings to you.
I love this song.
The best version on youtube! Too many rush the tempo on this stunning piece. bravo ❤ xx
I can't love this enough... Sir Neville gave me one of his batons when I was leaving my job ( Minnesota Orchestra). This piece is wonderful - especially under his baton! He is missed!
I was born in Mexico. Moved to the UK for work at 32 as part of a company relocation. I became a British Citizen at 39 and could not be prouder of my new country.
Every time I hear this music, what impresses me about Elgar's writing is this. He could have ended the piece with a great crescendo, a big blasting finale. Instead, after the emotional climax, it softens to a beautiful, quiet finish.
Genius move, so satisfying. Superb performance.
I love this music, but I can't say why. ❤❤❤
After a long lifetime of loving beautiful music Nimrod has become my all time favorite.
I feel I'm in Heaven.❤❤❤
Always moves me to tears.
Me too!
I don’t read or write music but thankfully I can listen. So many GREAT renditions of this beautiful piece. Thank you Edward Elgar.
What a beautiful interpretation of Nimrod. I loved when the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, under the direction of Sir Neville Marriner performed in the music in "Amadeus."
It's criminal that this only has 2300 views
Creo que es la mejor versión que he encontrado de Nimrod en directo. Felicidades.
Thank you Rafael!🥰
Sweet heaven such magnificence! The sense of climax when the timpani roll and the brass roar, and the prompt quieting as the planet flies into darkness. Surely this is what Elgar hoped.
Agree with you 1000%

Touches my heart
I think this is a brilliant rendition. I listened to Bernstein's version just before this and it was over-egged. This just lets the music speak for itself, with a hint of quiet restraint, making it even more dramatic.
Well it NEITHER s it is Elgar for Gods sake
Just listened to the Bernstein and this is about the same tempo and the Brits say it is too slow....nope
Absolutely gorgeous.
Das ist die beste Aufnahme, die ich kenne!
Sir Neville Marriner was the most friendly conductor, whom I ever met. He was a real gentleman. Conducting Nimrod it sounds more natural than usual. Others abuse this pathetic and melancholic piece for a kind of soul striptease. Not Sir Neville. Someone like him will never come again. I miss him.
How can you abuse something as sublime as this . ?
Those people are afraid of themselves and the emotions such music evokes. They are not complete . I pity them.
This is the only version that is pure and true. Has become my favorite music.
Beautifully executed, so powerful!
Pure heaven!!!
It's truly a delight 😊 to
conduct this unforgettable
masterpiece.
This absolutely brilliant!! Thank you!
Beautiful. Lifts the soul
It's a Sunrise.
God it's so emotional and stirring. Imagine having a mind that can create such magic!?
England's finest .
Wow, just wow.
Marvellous
biological music for the heart
2:07 - white roses. love that.
3:20 - the timpani player - perfect support.
3:42 - the green circular "Academy of..." monogram = a perfect idea - You-all deserve that.
Thank you Sir NM & the Academy, for this Wonderful performance, and for SO many other great performances through the years.
I subscribed here to thank sir Mariner for his passion and the gifts that he gave and gives to us. Do the same if you’ve grownup appreciating his difference…
IMHO.....THE most beautiful piece of music ever written. I have listened to countless interpretations and tempi.......but for me.....the tension engendered in Bernstein's recording is unbearably beautiful.
This should be dedicated to queen Elisabeth 2nd.... the greatest monarch to have ever lived!!!
Very beautiful 😍
Mi preferencia por la dirección de Sir Collin Davis.
Remember Arthur Daley and Ray Daley at the funeral in Pinner, and Ray saying to the bereaved gangster's wife that "Elgar was the boss" or words to that effect? I think the episode was called 'Guess Who's Coming To Pinner?' Drink it all in Ray, you'll not see the like of this again. Drink it all in.
Dioooossss...!!!
Where are the American composers of great music like this? Why are there none?
Poco que agregar sobre la orquesta y su director.De las mejores orquestas del mundo con uno de los mejores directores de orquesta del mundo.Creo que el punto en discusión puede estar en el tempo y más allá de lo que el compositor Elgar indico en su formato original,cada director desarrolla su percepción personal de como interpretar cada obra que acomete.En lo personal prefiero está interpretación de Nimrod,con un tempo no tan prolongado,a diferencia de la interpretación que dirigió Bernstein que se arrastra innecesariamente,según mi opinión,restándole solemnidad,más aún a una obra musical como está que es tan conmovedora.Creo que finalmente está discusión la resolverá la neurociencia.
Saludos
and, unfortunately, the videographer cut away from him at the crescendo!
Ahhhh..
Why was this recording clipped at both ends?
3:08
My dear ,late Grandfather told me as a boy ,that music like this is a cure for atheism ,because if you can listen to this and not think a human being is so much more that just a collection of skin, blood and bone ,then their is something wrong with you.
Excellent--but blighted by the new craze for fading out ,far to much--in my opinion .
