I discovered Renaissance in 1975, back in the days when we were young and had hope for the future. After hearing the new arrangement of A Song For All Seasons**Renaissance with Chamber Orchestra**I was transported back in time when I first heard A Song For All Seasons.1978...Hearing Annie sing again brought tears to my eyes thinking of the legacy Annie Haslam, Michael Dunford, Betty Thatcher, John Tout, Terence Sullivan, Jon Camp, Jane and Keith Relf(1969-70) all have so artistically and beautifully gifted to the world.
First I d like to say this is one of my top 5 songs by Renaissance. Annie does go flat on just a couple of notes right at the beginning, but OMG she quickly realizes it and gathers herself TOTALLY. AT 9.31 SHE SHOWS she still has it ALL she has backed off the mic by at least 2 feet and has soo much power and the end note well it brings tears and chills. A wonderful wonderful performance of this song. If this does not touch you ,well you better check your pulse. The Chamber Orchestra was great also. I wish I would have been there.
Yes, gave me thrills -- always gets to me when i listen to this song -- but it's my first time seeing it performed. well..... How i wish there were a video of live rendition of this song dating back to 1980's or at least 1990's. Since there's none I'll say a few words on this one. i was following intently her every breath. It takes a very courageous, truly professional (and super-talented) vocalist to come out and get it made - forty years after..... Time is merciless : Ian Anderson can barely sing, Peter Hammill mostly speaks out his songs in concerts in the recent years..... What Annie has shown is still good singing. Her vocal cords have aged but the spirit within her is still .... stiff. Excuse me my English , i am stoned and i am literally feeling every word i am typing , confusing and running out of them. Awesome performance - i am so happy this video even exists. Instrumentation is fantastic. Sound. .... I'd have liked it if it were a 1978 music video but ...this is fantastic how the band sounds nowadays! I certainly should have watched it at least two years ago. I'm glad i have now. Renaissance is one of the really greatest (live) art-prog- bands of all time.
I was lucky enough to see the band perform at the south bank center in London with a full orchestra with my Professor from Birkbeck College , University of London. That you Tom for introduction. The music soars and lifts the spirits to new heights every time your hear it. It been an honor to listen to your albums these past 40 years and I enjoyed your first sight and sound performance broadcast on BBC 2 and stereo FM radio more than any moon landing Renaissance is the premier band and has talent beyond measure. Treat your ears, your eyes, your every breath, to something truly beautiful and majestic. Wonderful music lives forever thank you
After all these years that she could put together such a magnificent band and orchestra and put out this kind of sound is absolutely incredible. Just beautiful.
I am a self described ;) symphonic rock expert. Bought it for 45+ years, learned how to play lots of the songs, play several instruments, etcetera. Taste is personal but I am not too crazy about - for instance - Yes, because I often find it contrived music, "Let's see how many chords we can put in this song and don't forget to change the key all the time"... I am more into Genesis, Camel, King Crimson, Hatfield and the North, Caravan, RUSH, you name it. Having said that : This album has been in my top 10 of symfo for YEARS. And very high on said list. I think this is simply a perfect album and it ends with this song; With A Very Big Bang. The way Annie sings the last couple of lines is absolutely unbelievable. And the bass guitar sounds more Rickenbacker than even Chris Squire could manage! How many stars can I give this album? Add two more to that.
This was the first album I bought by Renaissance- it was for my mom. She didn't like it but I did and ended up buying all their albums within about a week! Not normal for a 17 year old rock-n-roll fan. The rest was history, seeing them whenever I could in the 80s. Good times and so great to Annie still at it on this version!
Wow.... It was their first album i taped off from my friend's cassette taped from an American CD !))) "Song For All Seasons", without a track list. Just the name of the band, the album and the music. I had fallen for Jethro Tull a year or so ago.... Imagine how it clicked with a 17-year-old like me ?? In the 1997 Ukraine :-) :-) Fantastic memories..... Northern Lights , of course... Many years after i was able to see the music video !!!... -- We had lived "behind the iron curtain" until , say, 1990 and getting vinyls from "the capitalist West" was a challenge. Some people ran this kind of business :LP's or CD's cost a lot, so they would buy them and made copies on reels or cassettes and sold them to fans like me. And that was heaven on earth , dude. ... And the way i have taught myself to speak English. Hi from the Ukrainian Kingdom , Shawn. Happy new year 2022 ;-)
The best LP I have ever owned. Follow every single word, the way she sang it and the music that came with it. Every single note is beautiful. A big fan. What a treat. Renaissance rules.
Wow. Immortal. The live performances given by today's Renaissance line-up are extraordinary--the best they've ever been. Please, Renaissance: Never disband.
TBH, this version with a complete different line-up comparing to the original of 1977 ist not bad, surely different musicians and of course Annie's voice is growing older too, but still great and awesome. And again chapeau for this new band she got and the sound. Renaissance was one of my all time favorite ProgRock bands starting in 1972 with the album Prologue ! And "A song for all seasons" is tbh my all-time favorite song of Renaissance, always was !!
Your current keyboard genius described his orchestration in a video, and essentially described the idea of the orchestra project I had 30 years ago which I named Song For All Seasons. I made it an acronym "SFAS" and legally adopted it as my name and brand.
Que gran grupo de rock progresivo sinfónico con una gran cante como es Anny Aslam me deleitó escuchar su voz a este grupo lo sigo desde los año 1976 estaba estudiando prepa aquí en Fresnillo Zacatecas México, estoy muy feliz porque subieron este video está excepcional,viva el rock progresivo es el padre de todos los rock.
I have discovered them in '74, bought every album they produced, nobody write music like that anymore!

I cry I hear it ... a great band, a great composition, and surely, the angelic voice of Annie Haslam ...
Thank you very much!
Outstanding. One of the 6 great prog rock bands. And all English, well mostly.
wow that last note!

Incredible she hits that high note.
A Song for All Seasons was my favorite Renaissance LP release back in the 1970's.
Loved it back then and love it now. There will never be another Renaissance.
Amazing that she can still perform that song decently ...and emotions
discovered them around 1973 in green bay appearing with james gang and foghat. been my favorite group ever since.
the first Renaissance album I ever bought, on vinyl, contained the original studio recording of this song

I still love you...since 1981
Have been and still are magnificent and unfortunately the most underrated progressive band ever
Not for Long!!! This Band and Annie are the Greatest!!!
I saw them twice in NYC in the seventies. Mesmerized

What is wrong with "contrived music" should it be for good reason?
John Camp, na minha opiniao, foi e ainda é, um exímio baixista e , infelizmente, pouco lembrado no meio musical!
@@marciomoura9556 Jon Camp. Five stars for every year he has been alive. Best bass guitarist in the world!
@@marlachristensen2076 Para mim está junto com Chris Squire e John Entwistle! Todos 3 foram muito fodas!!😉👍
Beautiful progressive rock classic
この曲は
40年以上前にレコードが擦れ切れるまで聴いた！
あのドラマチックなドライブ感が甦る
Annie you are wonderful
An absolute masterpiece song!
She nailed it! I saw her sing this song at a San Diego concert back in 1978. I love you Anne Haslam!

Every time I tried to play Renaissance to my mum she kept talking about Nana Maskouri? I could never work out why? Nothing like her?
A shaky start from Amnie but I will never forget her last note. Incredible. She still has it. The orchestration was wonderful. Epic song.
The best LP I have ever owned. Follow every single word, the way she sang it and the music that came with it. Every single note is beautiful. A big fan. What a treat. Renaissance rules.
That piece gets to me every time I hear it. And to see it and hear each word is articulated is quite an emotional experience. Thank for being you.
She still has it! We are going to see them in October.
Wow. Immortal. The live performances given by today's Renaissance line-up are extraordinary--the best they've ever been. Please, Renaissance: Never disband.
My heart almost stopped at the final note!
I did not realise there was a more recent tour. Beautiful music, singing shows a bit of age, but still powerful. I love Renaissance!
What a great orchestral version of this classic song!
Orchestra did a good job.
Saw them last night in New Jersey, completely phenomenal. No fan will be disappointed. Thank you Annie and Rave for keeping it together.
My favorite Renaissance number!!!!
TBH, this version with a complete different line-up comparing to the original of 1977 ist not bad, surely different musicians and of course Annie's voice is growing older too, but still great and awesome.

Still magnificent!

Age is such a terrible thing...

She s singing perfectly. The way of controlling her voice. Omg :)

No she doesn't.
