Half a million British people singing my favourite song of all time !! There must be a god who else could inspire this masterpiece? Tim from gods own country North Yorkshire !
As an American, I love how the British make symphonic music to be so lush, grand and esoteric, but yet have so much power. Miss Bullock is superb. Thank you for posting this.
One of the best versions I have ever heard. I worked as a theatre usher on the original London West End production at Her Majesty's Theatre in the early 1960s. The trouble was the orchestra kept playing the music after the show ended and the audience sat there crying and were reluctant to go. I had to catch the very last train home to South London from Victoria station and sometimes barely made it. My first appearance on any stage (I trained as an actor and was in a few plays) was when I got lost one night delivering a message backstage and my left leg appeared accidentally through the curtain during the scene where they were singing You are sixteen. Fortunately I realised I was almost on stage and stopped in the nick of time.😷😎🎼♥️🆙️
I think Susan Bullock does a great job here. You have to bare in mind that she's leading thousands of voices joining in the chorus and she does a brilliant job - some good old communal singing.
McKay was the wife of the rehearsal pianist in the movie set of The Sound Of Music and ahe dubbed Peggy Wood who had a weak voice, being over 70 years old then.
Susan's version ranks up there with the original performance, very personal and heartfelt and one can't compare a person's taste, either one likes or does not like it. I do like this version
I missed this night, 1st time in many years due to hospitalization,thanks for the posting. Can you please explain why there are so many questions and opinions rather than the enjoyment of just listening,?
@rudolfhucker100 In the film version she didn't actually sing it though, it was sung by Margery McKay. In addition, the character wasn't known as the Mother Superior, but Mother Abbess, because the characters were in an Abbey, not a convent.
Not bad, not great. She has sung too much Wagner and Strauss to sing this beautifully. Kiri te Kanawa and Eileen Farrell recorded far superior renditions.

This has helped me get through some very hard times thanks UA-cam and bbc
Everyone looks so happy. I love seeing music bring together people like this. True beauty.

ABSOLUTELY DIVINE.....BEAUTIFUL,BEAUTIFUL,BEAUTIFUL.THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS, I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH.
Margery McKay tops the list with this song. I never tire of her rendition; and search as I might, I can find no other music from the lady.

A very inspiring song. Especially now.😷😎🎼🆙️♥️🎼
Goosebumps
Well all I can say is Long live our most beloved of all Queens!
That was so powerful. 😍

Just wonderful ❤️No words
WOW, just WOW!
Amazing!!!
Beautiful.
Very nice but not a patch on the Mother Superior in The Sound of Music - now that performance sends a shiver down my spine every time.
Bravo!

The original performance was done in the original Broadway show in 1959. Not in the movie made in 1965.
Very nice performance with audience participation, but don't forget Richard Rogers, American
composer, wrote the music.
Listen to Patricia Neway to hear it sung in a truly great way.
Oh, to have heard Caballe sing this!
Well, she is the leading Wagnerian Soprano of her generation.....
*waits for people to figure out link
WOW !!!
観客が国旗を振ったり、一緒に歌ったり。なぜだか泣けて仕方ない。。。

Have you heard of the Norwegian singer Sissel? She has the most beautiful voice in the world. ua-cam.com/video/C7Y6lFK7JdU/v-deo.html
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜👏👏👏👏👏
There isnt enough voice at the bottom for this
Oh dear I guess I got it wrong - but you obviously knew what I was talking about!
23 minuses that like warm beer.No frigin doubt!
What about listening to The Mormon Tabernacle version - fantastic
Sorry but this just doesn't work for me. I think there can really only be ONE version of this song, and that's the original.
Well, I'm sorry to disagree with you be I DO have ears, very well trained ears actually.
Gary Ormond do u look back on this comment with regret yet, or...?
good but dame kiri takannow leaves he standing, check it out
Shirley Bassey None better
I can't even climb the bloody stairs, marni nixion sings this better
Not bad, not great. She has sung too much Wagner and Strauss to sing this beautifully. Kiri te Kanawa and Eileen Farrell recorded far superior renditions.
"Inspirational" or "Delusional"?
You need a richer, more dramatic voice to do the song justice.
A pretty soprano lacks depth to sound like a trumpet which proclaims.
Miscast.
YOU DONT HAVE EARS!
Love Susan, but this is hideous
Amazing!!!
