Ralph Vaughan Williams: "The Lark Ascending" mit Arabella Steinbacher | NDR Radiophilharmonie

I just recently heard this while watching some sci-fi mini series believe it or not. I just lost my Mom like a month prior so I was still grieving pretty bad. Well my goodness I just sobbed and sobbed. It's so beautiful. And such a comfort. My Dad passed some years ago so I was feeling so lost after losing my Mom. Thank you so much for sharing. It's what I imagine was playing as both my parents' souls flew up to heaven!

If I've had one of those days in work and i can't wait to get home,when i do i lie down and play this. Helps bring me to a happier place as i fly with the lark up into the clouds and out of sight. Beautiful

When I listen to the music of Vaughan Williams, there are times when eternity can be seen

Many years ago when I was in London in Christmas time , i went to a music shop in there , with around five floors i think, I don't know exactly what part of London it was located , but in any case, at the entrance of the "classical" music floor , this wonderful music started to sound , and immediately it captivated to me and i fell in love with it , specially for the pentaphonic scale that it was in there , I don't know the reason why this beautiful scale always make me cry , incredible music for dreaming and relaxing .Thanks Arabella Steinbacher and NDR Radiophilharmonie orchestra for sharing this incredible music of one of the most representative English composer as RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS.

The only way to hear this wonderous music of Vaughan-Williams is to illegally lie down on your back in the middle of a farmers field of wheat in Sussex with your headphones on loud and look up into the sky and imagine the Lark singing and flying above you crying with joy at the marvellousness of existence without really knowing the reason why. Simply , the love of life, of flying and calling out to the world. Just how V-W expressed it so magnificently in his music. Bach and Mozart are my musical gods but this Cornishman can still have his heart pinged by Vaughan Williams at his most Englishness.

Vaughan Williams touches areas of our soul, that are not so easy to reach....simply wonderful

It's my favorite classic piece. Just beautiful and rich.

This and Beethoven Concerto, are the trademark for The Beautiful Arabella, and of course, we need more videos to enjoy her Talented Hands!!!

When I think of the comfort of my countryside, my worldy worries and suffering disappear

So captivating that my teary eyes are nowhere to hide!

I've heard many versions of this piece. This is head and shoulders above all of the others. Beautiful.

Wonderful on all its colours of the country side. Outstanding performance. 😊

A musical dream, traumhaft schön, Arabella S. in unity with her legendary Booth-Stradivarius. It's been also nice to watch Roland Greutter evidently here as a guest concertmaster from Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, leading his NDR collegues in this marvellous performance.

I thought this video is gone forever 🥺 thank you for uploading.

Timeless Ralph Vaughan Williams : “The Lark Ascending” and its stunning performance by Arabella Steinbacher with the NDR Radiophilharmonie. Thank you, NDR Klassik for the upload.

The best performance of the lark ascending l've ever heard ❤

An inspired performance of this singularly beautiful work by Steinbacher. And it's always a pleasure to see my long time favorite Roland Greutter as concertmaster.

Andrew Manze is a magician. He brings everyone together to give this absolute pinnacle of performance in a way that can touch every sensory perception. Altho this is a sublime piece of music wherever and whoever performs, Arabella Steinbacher takes me with her, instead of to some other place on my own. A tear every time. Glorious.

Brawo, Pani Arabelllo, bello. Dziękuję i pozdrawiam. Marek Furtak z Lublina.

Excellent performance by the NDR Radiophilharmonie, Maestro Manze and the superb Arabella Steinbacher! Thank you NDR Klassik for the upload
