    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!

      @@wendyd_darling As it happens, (and here let me make a plug for PSYCHIATRY, from which I retired 5 years ago): as a psychiatrist who had done a goodly amount of psychotherapy for myself and with patients, I really paid attention to my own reactions and to folks' reactions to various losses: losing my parents (father when I was 29, mo when 46) really prompted that ORPHAN feeling. Did not have at all the same feeling when older sister died when I was 58....but it sure settled in on me that there was now no longer a shared history of experiences and *personal* history itself had shifted over to "like a dream??"
      Anyway: that Lark keeps being carried higher by currents into invisibility in the sky
      Hope you know Tallis/Fantasia, Serenade to Music[!!!] , the Symphonies....

    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.

    I *just* stumbled onto this today; it turned up in my UA-cam feed for some reason, and I'm glad it did. This is one of my very favorite pieces of Romantic Classical music. Some observations/comments, if I may:
    WOW, what a performance! It's been a while since I last listened to this song, but this performance felt a little different than what I've heard before; I'm guessing it's a different interpretation of the piece than is "usual"? Maybe just my imagination? Beats me, but I *really* enjoyed it! 👍
    I loved seeing the conductor smiling at times - it looked like he was very happy with the performance. And the soloist... The way she moved, the look of her face - she looked like she was thoroughly enjoying herself, and in her mind was flying alongside that little lark. 😀 Absolutely wonderful.
    Question: We suddenly got a view of the outside, with people watching on a big screen, and the camera suddenly zoomed in on someone in the outside audience. Was that someone who's well known in that area? Just curious.
    Again, an amazing performance, and thanks so much for sharing it with us - I'll be saving this so I can find it again when I want to give it another listen. 🌝
