I love this song. Both by Mike or Tom and Ben/Ralph here. The Libera are a trained choir and always perform live in their concerts. Their problem is in age. So even though they don't sound the best to us, they sing with all their heart. That's their advantage. So I love their incredibly dedicated performance. Thanks to all who have worked. Good work 🥰😊❤💝
I think Ralph Skan was amazing in this video. He is doing the very difficult high notes with his gorgeous voice. Check him out when he is a lot older in the Song of Life video. Ben Phillip was Ok until the very end when his voice cracked a little. Ben is a fantastic singer, check him out in Time and Lacrymosa (his first solo). Remember this is being performed live. It is even harder because there is only 9 of them instead of the usual 30. Libera boys are outstanding performers. Go to a concert. You will never be the same.
das ist wunder schön das Lied ,Libera ist das schönst was ich bis jetzt gehört habe , mag alle Lieder ,..... that's wonderful the song, Libera is the most beautiful thing I've heard so far, I like all the Songs.....😍😍😘😘❤🕊
The purpose of concerts is to give pleasure. Peoples comments reflect the plethora of competitions that appeal not so much to the beauty of the music but to the winner takes all mentality. Might as well be watching a boxing match. You don’t have to be the “best” to bring joy to people.
I see it more as changing of the guard -- it was one of Ralph's first solos, I think. In my opinion, they've done this sort of thing before, like Josh passing the torch to Ben in "Time".
This song is hard to perform live, especially at this point the 2 soloists are nearing their voice break age. But I always loved Ben P's and Ralph's high notes.
Understandable in a live concert with so few back- ups. Plus the song is a bit difficult piece for live singing, maybe.. that's why I prefer to listen to Michael's cover version. A hauntingly beautiful music that introduced me to the Libera treaures. Far Away and Michael H. will always be my Libera memory..
You can definitely hear Ben's voice beginning to change, and making it difficult for him to hold those notes...pesky hormones..they ruin so much for young people...
Ok, read through the whole comment before you yell. This the worst performance I have heard from Libera. Both Soloists, Ben and Ralph, struggled. I’m not positive but it looked as though the high soprano was dubbed, I understand it’s a small tour group, and when you can fill a hand with mistakes in the first minute and a half, that would actually have been a smart move. That being said, this is the Worst I have heard, but it was STILL BEAUTIFUL. I am a performing musician, I know from experience they can list mistakes we haven’t heard. But they still managed to show off there amazing talent and they were such a privilege to work with. I was a part of Libera for a summer, before I was transferred to Scotland. That was some years ago, Ben was still Mini Ben, and, Josh Madine, and Tom Cully, were handling the majority of the solos. That was a fun summer, I never got to tour, but had a great experience all the same.
I can't say you're wrong, it is a bit shaky at times. It's not the worst I've seen though - that would be the raw footage from the Kennedy Center. Having said that, you are right, it is still beautiful. Every soloist, with the exception of M. Horncastle, has struggled with this song when doing it live, so I rather expect little. I see this video as the passing of the torch from Ben's generation (he could barely get some of the high notes) to Ralph's generation (he was new at soloing, and obviously nervous. I've also noticed that often, especially in "Far Away", the soloist always seems to relax a little and gain more confidence when the backing vocals come in. Thank for the comment!
TygrHawk -Tom definitely struggled through the solo in Love And Mercy, but I think the majority of the issue was mic balance. Also they were working with a strange back up choir. I would call a tie, just Libera- this one, Libera with back up - Kennedy Centre. Still an amazing choir and as always beautiful to hear. Thanks for your thoughts and insight!
P.S. I’ve turned off recordings of other Top choirs: Wiener Sängerknaben, Tölzer Knabenchor, American boy choir that were CD mastered because they were worse than this in a recording that they were selling. At least here they have an excuse, jet lag, sore throats, whatever. But for a CD
I'm a lifelong fan of Libera, not a fan of this performance tbh. It's definitely not up to usual Libera standard, but I think it's understandable since all the boys here are super new in their First Treble roles, I think. This cohort was the group of boys leftover when the power cohort (i.e. Tom Cully, Josh, Ed, Liam, etc.) suddenly left and there was a vacuum of experience. Mini Ben wasn't really part of that power cohort, and so when everyone left he had to take over. He was the most experienced boy at the time. Ralph 100% got way better after this performance, though. In this performance it seems like he hasn't developed any breath control yet and is gasping for breath between phrases. And Mini Ben's voice has definitely broken here; he was really struggling to hit those higher notes.
Josh was there, in the back. I definitely noticed Ralph struggled with breath control, and Ben was aging out. I believe this was the last time he sang this live before passing the torch on to the next boy.
Libera made several mistakes with this version of faraway. One was using Ben is voice is not suited for this song. second is not changing the key to match Ralph voice. third they probably should have use Stefan or Jakob
絶対絶対生で聞くって決めてる
PVの方が音質は良いけど、この透き通るような、少年の純粋な声はTVバージョンでも俺の涙腺を破壊してくる。足先まで鳥肌が立ったのは初めて。
世界がこんなに優しくて、素敵な世界なんだね。リベラはそれを教えてくれる。
この子たちも実際は天使だよこの世に生まれて選ばれた神様からの天使👼この世に伝えるために来たみたいな気がしてる。何回聴いても音程外さないハスキーな声何度も聴いていたくなる
Exactly what I thought when I first discovered Libera, 8 years ago.
いつの間にか泣いてた…
このリベラが１番好き。
心が洗われる。
ベンフィリップかっこいいよ、、。
大好き

綺麗すぎやろ。
賞賛の拍手を送ります。
P
皆様 輝いていてとても感動します♡特に高音！素敵です☆
Ralphくんかわいい
皆綺麗な声
リベラ好き！
この曲を聴いて救われた気がします。
ラルフ😭
1度会ってみたい😭
いつも元気をありがとう💞
ラルフ？リベラではなく？
上原浩 ラルフは右で歌っている子のことです
you me 少し前までは地元で歌を歌っていたそうですが、今はどうしているか分かりません
you me ラルフはいろいろな曲でソロを取っています。よかったらお聞きください！
you me 「リベラ」と検索してみてください。「O holy night」や「song of life」などがラルフソロの代表曲です！
また、他の子のソロも大変美しいので、ぜひお聴きください！よければ、おすすめの曲をお伝えしましょうか？
心に巻きついていた黒い布が剥がされていく感じ…同時にスースーして今まで忘れていた純粋な美しさに触れて若干戸惑いさえあります。その位美しい世界をみせてくれました。
ため息が出ますね…
1.05分から、
真ん中の右の男の子の高声が 素晴らしすぎる。
Ben, Ralph, your voices are changing....
Ben, Josh & Tom I miss you ;-)
Tom is stage name for jamie isaac .. he have his own channel
Josh also has-Almanac
These two are my fav libera soloist ever 😍
天使の歌声というものは、これか

Also Ben P in 'Going home' and 'O sanctissima', voices such an angel's kiss.
Agree. They are amazing in all time 👍❤
Angelic voices, awesome. I love it.
今でも聴いてます、子ども達にも
綺麗な歌声
リベラの歌声始めて聞いたときすごい感動しました。
ユニバーのCMでリベラの歌声流れたらあークリスマスの時期なんだなぁ～てなります。
They have a beautiful sound.
何回も聴いてしまう。。
Эту песню бесподобно пел Том Калли - легенда ЛИБЕРА! Никто лучше него не смог исполнить этот шедевр! Браво, Том! Удачи другим мальчишкам!
Эту песню пел Михаэль - Майкл Хоркастл в церкви🌿
Thank You. God Bless🙏
天使により汚い心が浄化されましたわ
ベンってこの曲の三代目だっけ？
歌の上手からの人気は二代目のトムなんだろうけど、この曲はやっぱり初代のマイケルが好きだ
@ふーにゃん そうですね！トムは母音の発音が弱目でなめらかに歌いますよね
でも僕も個人的にはfar awayはマイケルの歌い方が好きです
この曲落ち着く
das ist wunder schön das Lied ,Libera ist das schönst was ich bis jetzt gehört habe , mag alle Lieder ,.....
that's wonderful the song, Libera is the most beautiful thing I've heard so far, I like all the Songs.....😍😍😘😘❤🕊
Nice one Benedict and Ralph :) thanks
フィリップ君かっこよすぎ😭😭
凄い‼️素敵‼️天使の歌声✨✨✨
緊張しててかわいい〜
I love this song Its my fav..

angels...
Very beautiful...
This is 1 of my favorite songs
すげぇ
They will always be libera professional and pure from God eye's
I love Ralph and Stefan on those high notes!!!!!
癒される～
A little bit off key. Their cuteness saves them though ❤️ I miss this team so much.
Love Ben forever❤
Még mindig ők a legjobbak az egész világon.....
This song is hard to perform live, especially at this point the 2 soloists are nearing their voice break age. But I always loved Ben P's and Ralph's high notes.

Glad you got to see it. I like to post videos that might be harder to find on RUclips so there's a better chance people will discover them. :)
Как это это кайфово.... После этого состава у современной либеры не ощущаю подобного в их новых трекаъ
They would not have chosen him if he was not one of the best soloists. If you don't think so listen to another video of him singing this song.
最後の曲って、ユニバで流れてる曲？
最初から最後まで1曲です
Yes they're out of tone. But consider this. They're old already at that time.. And ben still got that tone.
thanks @TygrHawk on this video, i want to download this video.
Far awayはMichaelくんのイメージが強いなあ
the best Libera
途中字幕ずれてますよね(--;)
ジョシュ大きくなったな…
今何歳だろ？
Haven't heard this done by anyone else except Michael Hornecastle or Ben Phillip. Interesting interpretation
I like Ralph skan
Does "Little Ben´s" voice finally mutate ?
Because I know him from other Libera concerts and his voice was always completely clean...
Yes, I think this was one of his last solos as a treble.
Bravo les enfants
This seems like there swansong for being solos with Libera
よくやったぜベン
Том Калли и Майкл Хорнкастл - лучшие версии этой песни!
凄すぎて笑いが出る
Indeed well
That was a bit.....rough......seems like this was about the time they were beginning to age out.
Meg Langston
You can definitely hear Ben's voice beginning to change, and making it difficult for him to hold those notes...pesky hormones..they ruin so much for young people...

Thomas Tom Cully was the GOAT, of boy soprano vocals, 😇 voice!
Seems to me that all the soloists struggle a bit on this song during live shows. It's a tough one to sing.
... а почему вы поёте без Майкла Хорнкастла? Куда фаворит делся? Всё равно, молодцы, ребята ... )))
Уже выросли и Майкл Хорнкастл и Том Калли, покинули Либера! Лучше них никто не смог спеть эту песню! Браво легенды Либера!
美しい乙女の輝き。
Who is in charge of the first high tone part?
Hermoso
Jakob so cute.
Joshがいる（ ; ; ）
ベンについて調べようとしたらベンフィリップスとかいうやらせドッキリユーチューバーしか出てこなくてムカつく

Did you notice Josh is still there, at the back. So much taller now.
Josh was there, in the back. I definitely noticed Ralph struggled with breath control, and Ben was aging out. I believe this was the last time he sang this live before passing the torch on to the next boy.
: ""D get your Shine ON!
clean
Liberaありがとう❤️私の特効薬っす。心が落♿️🎵難病ち付きます🍀
I mean not Ben Phillip, Ben Crawley
ラルフが好きかな？めんごいね
私 Ben がいちばん好き
ね。＜３＜３＜３
人間から出る声ではない
どうやったらあんなに高音が蝋燭が灯ったように暖かく出せるんだろ
I think Kavana is doing the descant.
Ok😉❤️💝
Lucky no one sneezed or is allergic to feathers
いや、有吉の顔爆笑
思った！笑笑
いや、アイコン爆笑
sencilla
Мододцы
ralph a little bit nervous i guess....
Libera made several mistakes with this version of faraway. One was using Ben is voice is not suited for this song. second is not changing the key to match Ralph voice. third they probably should have use Stefan or Jakob
...and yet they still sounded better than most anyone else would. :)
Michael Horncastle's version is best...
И Том Калли!!!!!!!!!
Only Michael can pull this song off….sorry Ben.
Исполнение Майкла Хорнкастла лучшее из всех!!!
que guay
Very cool indeed! :)
Tinha que ser brasileira...
the audience is like WTF XDD
This is good, but not their best. 😀
