Recorded on September 19, 2009
Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner CBE (born 2 October 1951), known as #Sting, is an English musician and actor. He was the principal songwriter, lead singer, and bassist for new wave rock band the Police from 1977 to 1984. He launched a solo career in 1985, and has included elements of #rock, #jazz, reggae, classical, new-age, and worldbeat in his music.
As a solo musician and a member of the Police, Sting has received 17 Grammy Awards: he won Song of the Year for "Every Breath You Take", three Brit Awards, including Best British Male Artist in 1994 and Outstanding Contribution in 2002, a Golden Globe, an Emmy and four nominations for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. In 2019, he received a BMI Award for "Every Breath You Take" becoming the most-played song in radio history. In 2002, Sting received the Ivor Novello Award for Lifetime Achievement from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors and was also inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Police in 2003. In 2000, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for recording. In 2003, Sting received a CBE from Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace for services to music. He was made a Kennedy Center Honoree at the White House in 2014, and was awarded the Polar Music Prize in 2017.
With the Police, Sting became one of the world's best-selling music artists. Solo and with the Police combined, he has sold over 100 million records.[7] In 2006, Paste ranked him 62nd of the 100 best living songwriters.[8] He was 63rd of VH1's 100 greatest artists of rock,[9] and 80th of Q magazine's 100 greatest musical stars of the 20th century.[10] He has collaborated with other musicians on songs such as "Money for Nothing" with Dire Straits, "Rise & Fall" with Craig David, "All for Love" with Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart, "You Will Be My Ain True Love" with Alison Krauss, and introduced the North African music genre raï to Western audiences through the hit song "Desert Rose" with Cheb Mami. In 2018, he released the album 44/876, a collaboration with Jamaican musician Shaggy, which won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 2019.

And here I am again, year after year. Masterpiece.
me too
Me too....every year
🥰we are together
same here every year when Winter comes before Xmas I listening and reviewing this masterpiece, while I performing bushcraft in the dark woods.
Me too!
Without. Doubt the greatest singer-songwriter in the world today.
Winter is for thinking,
Spring is for Love
Summer is for enjoying life
Fall is for Beauty ....
Какие красивые слова, спасибо за стихи, ведь в этом видео нет субтитров❤
…. Sei troppo sensibile…. Buona vita, amico sconosciuto!
Has anyone ever created anything more magical than this? I find myself listening in the winter months, then revisiting again in the middle of summer. It's incredibly mesmerizing. Sting is TIMELESS and what he creates here is a magical wintertime of crackling fires, gray days, leafless branches bearing a dusting of snow, and songs in minor keys. I'm about to knit and drink hot tea, all the while enjoying this gorgeous season locked away in the warmth of my home.
es cierto es atemporal verano primavera fresca del sur de América Argentina o Invierno lluvioso, Un café con coñac o una bebida típica como un Mate. Puro disfrute
Asoludel! Going into my first winter in Germany this is a very nice find.
Zz
And here I am in Perth Western Australia, warm days getting warmer Spring 2021.
Just discovered this wonderful concert. I’ve always loved Sting’s ability to metamorphosize through this life. Hits home.
I also only listen to this this in the winter, it's an amazing album and so atmospheric. 🙏🙏🙏🏴
Sting’s art is a gift to the human soul - his sense of poetry is timeless.
agreed most definately
Absolutely! One of my favs is the lyrics for " Shape of my heart " just a great song with great words.
Perfect
The concert is soooo precious. Thanks a lot! Greetings of good old Germany!❤
Oh I've died and gone to Heaven listening to his voice before he has even started singing...................... Enchanting and magical............................ What a Gift? Big Thank You
I was lucky enough to see Sting perform this winter album in Paris about 14 years ago.... He had a wonderful orchestra backing him that night. I was the only one in the audience standing up and dancing... this music moves my soul, I couldnt just sit down. Luckily I was in the last row, so I didnt bother anyone.
Durham Cathedral is one of the most beautiful buildings on Earth. I'm fortunate enough to live nearby & have visited it for over 40 years & each time i go it gets more impressive. Built in 1093, i don't believe we could create anything as beautiful today.
after seeing it in this video, I would love to visit it too
I want to be positive and believe that one day I will be able to visit it 🙏😇
Of course we couldn't create anything near as beautiful - we've lost the meaning of building such a structure because the belief in something bigger than us is lost in the Age of the Narcissist. We only build now to honor ourselves.
Same feelings....
Have you ever read Cathedral by the Sea? I loved that book. It takes place around the same time and chronicles what life was like then.
It's that time of year where Sting at Durham Catherdral brings the spirit of Christmas to our home
every year~ a a needed change from "christimas music"
Needed more this year than ever. His voice will always sooth me.
I want to start this tradition!
The music of the United Kingdom has had such a powerful influence on the music of the U.S. Thank you for sharing this incredible blend of music.
Sting will forever remain a musical genius, and his music a healing portion.
Ypppon get it s.

VIVA Tokio.
Nicely said.................... Enjoy
A portion of healing?

Sting is the quintessential bard. Poet, musician, soother of spirits, sorcerer...
Dont forget King of Hearts..
Sting has a dream career for a musician... being able to grow and evolve and experiment with music while still being embraced by audiences. How wonderful!
Karácsonykor ezt hallgatom.❤🌲❤
Sting may have a dream career but he has a nightmarish voice.
@@TRUTHorSTFU your nightmare is the dream of millions.
@@MobiusBandwidth Yeah I know that. The majority is often deceived.
@@MobiusBandwidth One's dream can be the nightmare of millions = Hitler. The dream of millions of Germans became the nightmare of millions of Jews and millions of non Jews. Might/majority/popularity/sales do NOT make right. :-)
My dad was from Durham, it's the anniversary of his death today. This just appeared in my suggested video's randomly. I knew my dad would send me a profound message today. I am so humbled by this. My dad loved Stings singing...
I believe you. My Mum who had passed to the other side caused one of her old sheet music to skip off the piano to my feet. The title of the secular music included my name. The words spoke of of seeing me from Heaven!
The New Testament tells us that we here on earth are "surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses"!
We are not alone, we are eternal.
Be blessed this Christmas and happy new year 🎇
@@galloping3265 wow how amazing! And thank you so much for sharing that with me! It’s so powerful! I needed to hear that today. 🌸🙏🌸🙏🙏
Lovely way of our love ones contacting in ways that mean so much to u happy for u Sarah ❤️ Lucy Colgan from Ireland
@@galloping3265 Beautiful thought
Sometimes I really think it’s true that ( as Hamlet says ) ‘ there are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio than are dreamed of in your philosophy ‘.
If you want a little consolation about your dad’s death read Julian of Norwich ‘ all will be well and all will be well , and all manner of things shall be well ‘. Her book is called ‘ Revelations of Divine Live ‘. Despite her name she WAS a woman and a medieval anchorite !
Take care, Sarah.
If you can't be warm this winter on the outside, be warm on the inside with this beautiful music.
Agreed
Could not have sayed better❤
Sorry for being so gushing. This is so exquisite. Deep feeling and sense of togetherness = the world needs this so much more than " identity politics"
Agreed......... Whilst listening I was mulling that this was both beautiful music and alchemical event as in nations, dna and probably religious beliefs gathered together to make this sublime music in celebration of Winter and the return of 'the Light'! Enjoy
racist!!!
And yet, the song itself has EVERYTHING to do with identity politics! Funny that!
Gush away. I think so too.
Ճչ
I am with the lady in the blue dress who danced on stage near the end!! I danced in my home alone yet with all of you!! Thank all of you brilliantly talented artists and musicians!! Happy Christmas! Happy Winter's Solstice day!! Be well and blessed in your coming and going is my prayer.
Well met, Stephanie Burton - Thank you for this memoir, and your blessing and prayer. All safety, peace, joy and holy love to you and each sister, brother, friend among us here....
My respect for this man has no end. A true artist.
Yes I agree He puts so much thought and feeling into his music
Only just came across this video. Absolutely beautiful, sublime, and beautiful music and musicians. This brought tears to my nearly 70 year old eyes. There is so much one could say, but paragraphs would not suffice!
Thank you to Sting in particular and to all those involved in this awesome production. Heartfelt thanks
Yo también lo encontré por casualidad, después de años que no olvidaré jamás.
Sublime y excepcional producción musical❤
Same
Słucham tego w zaciszu mojego pokoju, w cieniach iskier i płomieniu świec w każde święta Bożego narodzenia i tylko patrzeć jak anioł przejdzie przez pokój. Będę tego słuchał do końca świata i jeden dzień, a jeżeli będę kiedyś tak bardzo wysoko w niebieskim zabarwieniu to powiem o tym zastępom aniołów, aby Oni grali to dalej.
This is absolutely breathtaking. Not only the music and the performance itself but what a venue. Wow
I use to watch it every Christmas. Thank you
I am so glad that Mr Sumner, having achieved economic success as a pop singer, can devote the rest of his life creating music that he likes to hear.
Interpreting.
Nothing compares to music that is without age. Merry Christmas.
Sting is aging like a nature. We cherish it.
Heavenly music, Perfect notes. His voice lifts me up amid angels. This world needs healing that can touch broken hearts and fill the joy of Christ and Sting has just that anointing in his voice. This concert is for any age, any group, in any generation. Timeless! Merry Christmas and God's blessings from Finland. May the Peace of Christ remain on everyone!Peace to all on the earth
LOVE the intro. I've got English roots in Bishopwearmouth, County Durham. This music makes me feel close to the area and to my ancestors.
I still remember the wintry Sunday when for the first time I listened to all the tracks of the album "If on a Winter's Night...", here in UA-cam. I was in a forlorn mood that day and looked for some music - which could lift up my spirits - and found that album. It changed the way I see and feel winter. My homeland is Brazil and albeit all the years I've lived in Germany, it took a long time not just to get used to winter but, actually, love it. Of course, I loved to see snow falling down and how it covered the landscape the way is displayed in so many postcards and calendars, nevertheless the bitter cold along with the long months of winter always had been difficult for me. It was with great attention and awe I listened to all the tracks of the album and couldn't wait to buy the CD. I remember going out on Monday and looking at the trees heavy with snow, a field nearby cold and covered with iridiscent white and caught myself considering winter with entirely different eyes. I bought the CD and read Sting's statement about it. I like very much the way he approaches the wintry season, by now I can identify with much he has said. It goes without saying that now I love winter and go often outside, marvelling at the scenes offered and photographing inspiring images. That shows how much this real musical artwork impressed me. I'm impressed still.
This album is overwhelming... Love it.
How fantastic❤️
The music and the lyrics moved you! The sign of a great poet and artist, which Sting is.
@@liverpoolishgirl It's true. And more, for he reveals deep insight about many things, which he translates with music and lyrics.
C'est beau, profond, poétique. Sting est un artiste qui touche l'âme
Happy All Souls Day from the year 2021. I found this music today. It's beautiful. Winter in a Cathedral. Awesome. Looking forward again to Christmas. Many thanks to Sting and the Durham Cathedral.
I too just found this. Beautifula, haunting and will be on my winter playlist from here on out.
De beste wensen voor 2025! 🙏🏻
I have a tradition to watch this the night before Christmas every year. This year I noticed my DVD was broken, but luckily I found this upload. Thank you!
Me too. Every year. Merry Christmas!
Wonderful idea. Next year...
Same here, it mesmerizes me every time
Wonderful performance, thank you Sting.
@@deliadeitz Рождества Христова.
For a few Christmases this concert brings the true spirit of the season. Today the first feeling of peace in this crazy world of the last few months.
If Sting's music and indeed the man can make children who don't sing,sing and want to sing, then his oeuvre will be outstanding.
No ego trip here. Just introducing us to the beauty of the music. It is as though Sting has made himself the servant of the music. It seems too that his love affair with music just increases and increases. What a guy.
One of the most stunning performances I have ever witnessed! Every nuance and detail was masterfully conveyed by every Artist on that stage! Absolute Perfection! Thank you Sting for your shining brilliance and always ensuring the essence of the music has center stage!
DITTO
You ´re expressing, what i feel, deeply touched from every word and note
I agree. Beautifully put.
This music is a blend of ancient and modern....so beautiful.
Happiness is something that you can taste only when your soul gets touched by this heavenly music
I come back every year for this album since it was released
incredibly beautiful, like a dream
this to me is pure heaven! magical, thankyou sting, this is what christmas really is
" the world is broken now, wise men hang their heads in sorrow...."
As true now as it was then and will remain until we have leaders that care and are worthy of their office and our trust ! Thank goodness we have such a concert as this to help sustain us through these dark days. Thank you for uploading and sharing this unique event !
I'll never get tired of watching this marvelous concert. My Christmas treat
One of the most prolific, ever evolving musicians of our times.
Чувствую биение сердец и дыхание душ и всеобъемлющую любовь, которой Стинг окутал , как тёплым пледом в зимнюю ночь....❄️❤️через музыку....✨✨✨ Невероятное исполнение, восторг и восхищение!!!🥰🤩🥰🤩🥰🤩🥰🤩
Хлядачи вна мистце та слухають уважно...

This is my very favorite Christmas concert that I HAVE to watch every year. It is all so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes every time. May we all have a Merry Christmas!
I'm listening to this as a warm goodbye to the dreadful winter that took very last bits of hope I've had left.
2020 has been a hellish year, so I got this winter album out a little early (October) and then realized it was Sting's birthday (2 October). I'm going to use it to feel comforted as we head through autumn into winter and hope for a better 2021.
The deepest way to live love is music.
Each year I come back to this concert. Each time it is as beautiful and fresh as the first snow.
This is my battery for the last weeks of the year, always is Sting so great in his lyrics and voice, that warm feeling makes me happy, gives me strenght and love..
I watched this last year several times, and now the time has come to start watching again. So nice.
My heart vibrates and my soul flies.
Intelligent, tasteful, a beautiful reimagining of the seasonal music. I think i'm finally developing a Christmas spirit. All music and seasonal films have failed on me this year. Thank you to Sting and the talented musicians for this gift
Back a year later!
Stories, folk songs, hymns and lullabies shared from around the world from musicians from all around the world. All deliver a truly glorious performance. And Sting well goes above expectations. So delighted to experience this brilliant performance
Ich habe das damals auf Festplatte aufgenommen, und dachte, das ist ja das schönste was ich jemals von Sting gehört hatte, und dan ging die HD putt, egal. Stings music is music in 10.000 years aliens reconstricted back and think, WOW.
Only a genius could design an album and a concert like that
The famous cathedral of Durham, musicians from all over the world, used as ingredients for a perfect perfume, excellent direction and photography with that blue light
Thank you, Mr. Sting!
His name's. GORDON
@@angelicaluce3230 Sure :Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner ...I remember leaving this comment about two years ago at this same time, close to Christmas. At that time my father was still with me ... I'll try to make a soul cake in memory of him even if I don't know how to cook ; -/
And in this church each sounds and voices are sublime under the lights, colors, and silences . A very peaceful moment indeed. 🌹
Sting is the most amazing and extensive musician I know. Thanks Sting for all the music you make us to participate. It gives such felicity. Thank you so much! Go on in happiness.
I learn't a new word! Thank you! Enjoy
PS Your comment made me look up what felicity means................
I´m Listening this in Brazil where beside our other crises, the Covid-19 crisis have been a kind of joke, unfortunally. This music makes send us closer to God... it sounds like a God whispering and filling us all of hope and grace. Thank you and God bless you all.
Whenever I watch this on dvd, it is the most calming and enjoyable experience. It has to be my favourite concert ever. The audience who attended this were so lucky!
we were
@@jcook8625 I can tell by the DVD you guys were in awe ☺
Включила сначала фоном, но не смогла работать очень заворожила камерная обстановка и очень душевное исполнение, превратилась в зрителя. Благодарю!!! Открыли Стинга с другой стороны.
Magical, charming music. It penetrates the very heart. This music will live forever!
I can’t wait to go to my daughter’s graduation from Durham this summer. I’m dying to hear music in Durham Cathedral!
stupendo , bravissimi.
I'm from Africa but I have to say that this type of songs or musics makes me feel something strange...like a call from the past that want me to come back for somewhere I don't know...
Siento algo parecido... yo soy de México...
@@suealandaluz3403 Hi Susana...
I know that feeling my friend.
I'm from Italy, but I have the exact same feeling. Sting's music is somewhat magical and nostalgic.
I think the beauty is that its transcontinental. transcultural, borrowing from Middle East, Africa, Europe. in this day and age its so nourishing to experience something that unites us, in spite of so many divisions.
Боже как красиво, первый раз я случайно посмотрела это выступление, теперь я под впечатлением от этой музыки! Спасибо 🙏 что делаете людей счастливыми!
Первый раз посмотрела 6 лет назад. Теперь смотрю ежегодно перед Новым годом и на Рождество. Очень, очень красиво. Замечательно!
@@ЛарисаСелезнёва-ф2й такая же традиция появилась. Каждый новый год смотрю с удовольствием вот уже 5 лет будет как.
This is the moment for this one of kind concert. My favorite Sting.
He's a gentleman everywhere. "Respect Monsieur".
This concert is amaizing, magic
Oh yes! Agreed! Have a fab Winter Solstice 2020!!!
Sogno un incontro tra lui e Branduardi…. Due geni…. Due mostri sacri!!!
J'ai adoré ce concert. Musiciens de si grand talent - instruments qu'on n'entend pas souvent - arrangements originaux - merci merci à Sting et à tous qui ont participé
Sting and Jo Lawry - so, so beautiful.
We are so lucky to have had Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner (Sting) in our lives. There is no one else to take his place. He has embraced and internalized history and music in a way no one else ever has. This concert is the most amazing thing I've ever heard or seen. When he plays an instrument it is like when he sings. Something magical happens.
Sting sings from his soul like no other🎤🎼🎶❤️💕
La voix magique de Sting nous transporte
I watch this all year round. Nothing can top it. It's magical, haunting, and Sting is the best. He's an amazing musician, songwriter, singer. He's got it all. I'm in love.
So Do I
likewise!)
So do I. Sting is the bard, the poet, the singer, the musician, reminds me of John Dowland. He's so great!
we are in love ..
The full package for sure.
Thank you Sting. We love you. Bless you from México.
THANK YOU for this beautiful gift of music. What a beautiful experience this is... I have pure gratitude.
The most beautiful Christmas songs, all my favorites, gorgeously interpreted by Sting et al. Thank you!
Every moment pure joy, thanks
It is great how Sting can invite various artists to his projects and then let them shine.
señor Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner,,,,, es usted un master,,, me puedo pasar todo el dia escuchando sting no cansa,,,, feliciades,,, gracias por existir...
Stings music has followed me through my life since 1979. Its many faces seamlessly (sometimes less) passing through time as we all must. Always like a enthusiastic hand shake from an often absent friend. A little melancholy but none the less enjoyed.
Once more , our Great Artist and Singer Sting shows us that Music is for the Glory of all Hunanity and God as well ! :)
GENIIIIIIIIIAL!!!!!!!!!! ENHORABUENA!!!!
In a single word. Breathtaking!
STING is a Modern day classical (messenger/poet)I enjoy his thoughts and messages!I went to Durham University way back and know those feelings he messages to us!Cold freezing Winters up on Hadrians wall,Hexham Abbey....To do these songs in that beautiful Cathedral is a masterpiece of magic!! Why aye manna!Bonnie Lad!WARLS-END LIKE!LOVE ALL HIS MUSIC!!
Molto bene grazie Evitaeterna.. _Biutiful canzonetta di la fafarosa Sicilia.
The first time I heard this CD and watched this DVD - I was moved to such a beautiful state of mind. I went out the next day and bought the CD/DVD combo and never stopped listening to it. I bought my son this for Christmas 2 years ago and he thanks me for sharing it with him. He thoroughly enjoys it. Thank you for sharing this wonderful spiritual and poetic music. We are so proud that our Canadian Laila Biali is also part of his musical performance. Sting never ceases to amaze the world with talents. Thank you
Кельтская вечеринка) Круто! Спасибо🙏 Вы сделали мой вечер (потрясающим)😉🥰🤩
Я лаконична, я в Украине, я в восторге от этого невероятного прибежища для человеческих душ🙏
I loved this album so much I took it everywhere with me, especially driving up the cold mountains, and I eventually lost the CD. Haven't listened to it properly again since, but today is Xmas day of 2021 and I thought about it while driving. My servant who is sitting in the passenger seat, an old Thai man from the province, was mesmerized and fell in love with the sound he was hearing through this video immediately. We are not even Christian, but we can understand the winter spirit through his music. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.
My cousin went to Durham University and before we were married, my husband and I had a holiday in the ‘ North ‘ staying in one of the colleges at Durham University . When Sting asks for help in singing I can do it all , cos I know The Coventry Carol and ‘ I saw three ships ‘ like ‘ the back of my hand ‘ !!!
On our holiday in ‘ the north ‘ my then boyfriend and I spent an awful lot of time sitting on Newcastle station as we didn’t have a car , but we visited Hexham abbey and the whole of Hadrian’s Wall by bus and on foot !!!
9:15 Okay, "Soul cake" has got to be the coolest rendition I have ever heard, then to here the Christmas song "God rest ye merry gentlmen.. Tiding of comfort and joy" hidden in the background is freaking genius. Bravo to all the musicians and my favorite front guy Sting.
An uplifting musical experience at all times to wait ..... for Advent silence. I just listened .... beautiful songs ....
Стинг -этот тот случай,на мой взгляд,когда душа человека осветляеться музокой и годами.Глаза такие живые от потока музыки.
Sting is like an excellent mother, feeding us such deep and elegant beauty, slaking our thirst for meaning and holiness.
Exquisite on all levels. Listening to it and watching it brings about a peaceful joy within me.
So happy to have the privilege to take part in this wonderful event.
Thank you, Sting. You bring tender joy to such beautiful music and give it both a new and old feeling all at once.
I love to listening in this Crazy Times to that Beautiful Music🎶
I passed his home every morning and wished i could have a chat with him , he is a lovely bloke .
