i like 0:00 A-Roving thats wat i will practice.

[@johnglass7383]

I love John Rutter. I put him and John Williams in the same parlor. Timeless, wondrous artists. Music that will stay with humans forever. I salute you both!

[@alecgallagher9196]

O Waly, Waly. What a wonderful, meltingly melancholic melody.

[@MushyYGO]

It absolutely is

[@paulpearce1161]

This is sheer music.. On a slightly different note , I often wonder why the BBC doesn't have a radio station playing just British classical music. Surely there's a vast amount to play.

[@steveegallo3384]

@paulpearce1161 -- I imagine that the BBC have focus-groups and algorithmic deep analysis....and determined that such a radio station would quickly bankrupt the company......Cheers from Acapulco!

[@davidgrahambrown3793]

They have, it’s called radio 3, a classical music station that plays a lot of British music.

Oh my god practicing this piece hurts my fingers

[@chiefkev]

Absolute gems! Beautiful, enlightening, and evoking. Thank you for sharing!

[@robertcohn8858]

Probably one of the most calming and beautiful 12 minutes on RUclips. Thank you so much.

[@AlbertKimMusic]

Wow, this is beyond beautiful

[@miriamlopez1595]

Nowadays, our orchestra are preparing the first and second movement for a concert (wih few people by the covid). Of course slower than this. I play in the violin 1 group and some parts are very hard. Thank you for this audio. It helps so much.

[@moussetache1815]

03:20 "I have a bonnet trimmed with blue" is magical. I will call this feeling a Don Bluth kind of feeling.

[@electric7487]

1:31 That transition is like a "Sike! You thought!" moment.

[@samm.8052]

The first 2 movements really remind me of the soundtrack to a show called Violet Evergarden. It's very calming.

[@SwishmissHolly70]

Wow beautiful ❤

[@enricotrummer4032]

Rutter zaubert mit einfachen Volksliedern 4 Streichquintett-Sätze, die Joseph Haydn alle Ehre gemacht hätten: Die Ecksätze in mustergültiger Sonatensatzform mit allen Formteilen. Meisterhafter, durchbrochener Satz, geistvolle Modulationen, Tiefe und Leichtigkeit der klassischen Meister im zeitgemäßen Gewand. John Rutter - Meister der modernen Klassik. ❤

It's always amused me how some "serious" composers and critics tend to sniff at Rutter. Why? Because he has an extraordinary gift for melody? In my decades of being a professional musician, I have yet to come across a Rutter piece that I haven't liked, and I've found that as much as audiences enjoy hearing it, the singers and musicians enjoy performing it as well. For anyone interested, look up his "Mass of the Children", especially the "Gloria". Great stuff.

Wonderful, in the very best tradition of English folk-like string suites by the likes of Holst and Vaughan Williams. Thank you !

Interesting to compare Rutter's A Rovin' with the same tune used in the third symphony, final movement from the recently released Holbrook album.
