This is a lovely piece of music My Nan was called Olwen. She was born in 1921 and today was her funeral. This was played as we entered the chapel. Perfect piece as she loved this.
I used to listen to this song in my childhood, when my parents bought a collection of songs from Reader's Digest. It was one of my favorites, like the Warsaw Concert and Cornish Rhapsody. Long live those who publish a gem like this. Eternally grateful, from Brazil.
I have not heard this piece in nearly 60 years, when we played it in concert. I am more moved by it now than I was even back then. Incredible arrangement. Wonderful!
I have loved this piece of music ever since I saw the film “While I Live” as a teenager in England. As I listen to it I visualize Cornwall and the rugged Coastline. This is the most wonderful recording of it. Thanks for putting it on You Tube
Atmospheric music takes me back to my childhood and hearing this for the first time. It is one of those pieces that touches you deep down. Very moving.
I have just seen your comment. I got a shock. I thought someone has just read my mind. My older brother had this record, must have been in the 40s or 50s. He told me. There is a break in the music and that’s where she falls off the cliff. I used to wait for thir point. And 😢
Que Felicidade Plena ouvir esse Concerto que ha muitos Anos nao ouvia. Sempre tocava em meu Piano com muito Amor. Lindissimo me emocionei Muitissimo. GRATA UA-cam. FELICIDAFES
Learning to play this beautiful piece again on the piano after 20 years of neglect starts so dramatically & the gentle tune drifting throughout the composition. Sadly, lacking the full orchestra in my front lounge but love music written in the minor keys, emotionally uplifting. Thank you
A magnificent vista at 1:39 and a wonderful melody. I just like the picture of the boat on the sea inlet and the house in the bay and the mountain scenery. No fancy castles.
Napaka gandang musika. Wala na akong masabi dahil halos lahat ay nasabi na nila. Maraming salamat sa nag upload at narinig kong muli ang napakandang musikang ito.
Bonsoir Michaël, Merci pour ces beaux paysages et cette douce musique. C'est très doux et reposant. Encore bravo. Beaucoup d'imagination pour toutes ces belles créations. Bon WE. Bises Nyky
THE DREAM OF OLWEN (From “While I Live”) Lyrics: Winifred May - Music: Charles Williams Olwen, I hear you call to me At moonrise across a golden sea; Softly the waves make melody To wake all my song of memory. Olwen, come to me, I implore. Tell me, where shall I find you? Olwen, 'til the stars shine no more, True unto you I shall be. Deep is the blue that veils the night. The light in the west has faded, But I must pursue 'til dawn breaks through The dream I am dreaming of you, Beloved. Olwen, in the wings of the wind, Fondly your voice is calling... Calling from a world far apart, And strangely, you seem to answer The dream in my heart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (As featured on the Music of the Stars)
This is the best arrangement by far, but I can't find it (this arrangement) on any Mantovani CDs of movie music. They are all different from each other and all are different and inferior to this arrangement. Can someone please help with the right CD for THIS arrangement of this lovely piece....please. My cat Fanny loves it so much.
Boa noite vou continuar escrevendo que os dono destas paizagem deslumbrante estão dormindo eu isis sou a dona das músicas que escolho na minha opinião acho mais bonito as músicas não me leve ramal isis
what is with the awful reverb? Really hanging and ruins what is already an inferior performance.....great orchestral arrangement, however.....but there are many other great performances.....i have the original on the film on dvd....
soizic de st john rosse the Reverb is intentional..it was supposed to sound 'dreamlike' hence the title you insulting fool...and the performance is splendid...you just have a tin ear...smh...every uneducated dope has something to say...no matter how wrong they are..or stupid they sound..
I understand she is searching for a more classical sound. But I understand also the effect done by the echoes, suggesting dreamings. Both are good, I think. I have both cultures, as I am a classical pianist, but my parents were liking very much to listen to CFQR-Radio.
Most beautiful piece of music 🎶🎶🎶 loved it since a child and still enjoying it at 72yrs!
Me to. I used to waltz around my house, whilst I was cleaning playing this music over and over driving my neighbours mad

Same here! I still have the records and listen periodically.
This was my Mother's favourite when I was little more than a child. I am 81yrs old now and still listening.
Ditto
Unforgettable Mantovani , played just beautiful melodies and this one , was one of all of them , all my favorite .
I have not heard this piece in nearly 60 years, when we played it in concert.
I am more moved by it now than I was even back then. Incredible arrangement. Wonderful!
I have loved this piece of music since I was a child, and will love it and other great pieces of music till the day I die...
Same....i would cry...
Still emotional even knowing and hearing it for 50 years..
Years ago my ballet class featured this beautiful piece of music and I fell in love with it......so happy I can enjoy it again....thank you.

Me too. I think I was about 10 when I watched the film, While I Live. I was haunted by the music and the story of Olwen for years.

Mantovani was amazing - he doesn't get anywhere near the props he should - beautiful sounds and arrangements. This is a top top tune.
The first "classic" I remember my parents buying - I still love this sixty years on!
What an outstandingly wonderfully piece off music! Such a pleasure listening to the beauty off this breathtakingly music🌟🕊🌸👏👌
still beautiful in 2020 and will be for eternity.
Simplesmente espetacular 😍, só podia ser Mantovani o maestro mais sensível do mundo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hope we still listen to this in 2019, its beautiful....
IMHO, the melody is haunting and universal. I can't think of anyone not liking this musical piece.
Pete Zoria yes it’s achingly beautiful. Reminds one of the girl that got away you’ll never see again

Beautiful!!! still love this at 77yrs. We had this on a chelac record, when I was a child in the 1950s

THE DREAM OF OLWEN
(From “While I Live”)
Lyrics: Winifred May - Music: Charles Williams
Olwen, I hear you call to me
At moonrise across a golden sea;
Softly the waves make melody
To wake all my song of memory.
Olwen, come to me, I implore.
Tell me, where shall I find you?
Olwen, 'til the stars shine no more,
True unto you I shall be.
Deep is the blue that veils the night.
The light in the west has faded,
But I must pursue 'til dawn breaks through
The dream I am dreaming of you, Beloved.
Olwen, in the wings of the wind,
Fondly your voice is calling...
Calling from a world far apart,
And strangely, you seem to answer
The dream in my heart.

I do so agree. This arrangement really is the best. but then most of Mantovani's musical arrangements were.
Why can't they write music like this anymore.
Which is more beautiful -- the melody or the scenery??

Why the awful echo? Ruins it
what is with the awful reverb? Really hanging and ruins what is already an inferior performance.....great orchestral arrangement, however.....but there are many other great performances.....i have the original on the film on dvd....
The Hollywood Bowl Symphony performance (also on YT) is much better.
soizic de st john rosse the Reverb is intentional..it was supposed to sound 'dreamlike' hence the title you insulting fool...and the performance is splendid...you just have a tin ear...smh...every uneducated dope has something to say...no matter how wrong they are..or stupid they sound..

You with your nose in the air. Just turn it off if it doesn’t match your standards.
