The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra was ensconced in a Surrey, B.C. theatre for a marathon recording session. Among the 100+ national anthems was O Canada.
This is the best arrangement of this great anthem on the internet./ it has such gusto and distinct, harmonious moving parts especially the brass. It truly is magnificent. The cymbal player nails it at the end..
Hearing this anthem always makes me proud to live within an hour of the Great White North. I can't imagine what it instills in a true Canadian. Beautiful.
With Glowing hearts we see thee rise the True north strong and free, from far and wide o canada we stand on guard for thee god keep our land, glorious and free, o canada we stand guard for thee, o canada we stand on guard for thee.
It is a terrific anthem. I attended a concert recently by the VSO, and we sang the anthem, and the entire audience was excited! For a people generally slow and embarrassed to publicly display patriotism, I was impressed!
Awesome! I love your national anthem as much as I love mine ('The Star-Spangled Banner') Thanks for uploading! Greetings from 'the land of the free and the home of the brave' that is the United States of America!
I love our anthem and I'm a proud Canadian but I can't agree with the praise for this rendition.O Canada deserves a far better interpretation than this: This is all balls-to-the wall and brash without any elegance and sophistication. O Canada requires not just a energy and pride but also sophistication and grandeur. When the French and Russian anthems are played with depth of feeling they evoke the very soul of their country. Yes, our anthem should be rousing but this is far too one dimensional.

Best version. Grand without gimmicks. This should be the official version.

Do I sound like a pussy by wanting to cry while listening to this? Well, I don't care. I'm Canadian, and PROUD of it, Goddammit!
With Glowing hearts we see thee rise the True north strong and free, from far and wide o canada we stand on guard for thee god keep our land, glorious and free, o canada we stand guard for thee, o canada we stand on guard for thee.
Love the conductor too.

You have ever reason to cry away brah!
AWESOME
True but at least we show patriotism in every lyric of the anthem.

@Gundamluverx
If it makes you feel any better, I get moved by this too as well. You are not the only one my friend.
As do they.
Darn you Canadians and your national anthem that isn't based on a drinking song...
@bballhank Or, in french: Car ton bras sait porter l'épée, il sait porter la croix. Ton histoire est une épopée des plus brilliants exploits!
