As a proud Kiwi, (New Zealander), I can say with confidence, New Zealand is so very proud of Dame Kiri Te Kanawa. Yes, she may be a ONZ, CH, DBE and AC recipient... but she will always be our "girl", no matter what age she is! God bless you Kiri!
@@manuelveytia3961 Hi Manuel. So pleased to read your nice reply. Thank you. Not only is she talented, but Kiri has been a wonderful ambassador representing New Zealand for well over 50 years. My parents had the pleasure of meeting Kiri at a meet and greet after a concert in the 1980`s (Sydney Australia), and confirmed what a truly lovely and genuine person she really is. I lovingly recall a beautiful large print of the Kiri portrait painted by Raymond Ching hanging in our family home in honor of her for many years. She`s as beautiful now as she was then. Wishing you good health and music. Tony.
@@tonewheel1773 thank you, Tony! She's one of my favorite sopranos I love her voice and she's just pure class... I wish some day to visit New Zealand i think is very beautiful and i'm also a big lord of the rings fan
@@manuelveytia3961 hahahaha... Thank you my friend. You`ve made my day. Yes, I dare say The Lord Of The Rings is probably more popular and well known than the lovely Kiri. As a Kiwi, I would encourage you to visit our beautiful country. So many have been over-whelmed by New Zealand`s beauty. Due to better money, I have lived in Australia for the past twenty years and miss home terribly. (The South Island is truly majestic). Thanks for taking the time to reply. Take care. Tony.
@@manuelveytia3961 As an after thought, clearly we both have a fondness for Kiri. I`ve taken the liberty of attaching two UA-cam links: Kiri singing J.Strauss II The Nun`s Chorus, accompanied by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir. (Kiri soars above the choir like a majestic eagle). The second is my all time favourite recording of Va, pensiero (Chorus of the Hebrew slaves) by Verdi, performed by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir. A great work made memorable by a great choir.

The fact that you can see English letters and street signs in the middle of Shanghai proves that the legacy of the British Empire will be a permanent part of global culture.
From the British Isles up to the Canadian Arctic North, then south to the Falklands near Antarctica. From the west of Caribbeans to the far eastern Pacific Islands. There’s no other country other than 🇬🇧, shares a common bond, which her Britannic glory across the globe. Let Britannia forever rule the waves🌊
China ONCE had a great Navy but the Ming emperors essentially decommissioned it. Whose fault was that?? Not Europe’s! Japan, on the other hand, observed and learned very quickly. Remember the Russo-Japanese War when this Asian island nation humiliated Tsarist Russia !
Sorry to correct you but the melody is written by the baroque composer Thomas Arne and comes between the scenes of his opera Thomas and Sally ! Nothing to do with the disgrace that was the British Empire !
One of the most classy performances of Rule Britannia that you are likely to see at the Proms.... from a real class act in the truest sense of the term
I'm an American but have English roots...and this resonates with me blood, it does. The mother country, the scepter'd isle, stirs me in ways I can't explain. God save the Queen!
There's something loathsome about Britain: the flouting of the hunting ban. That lowlives could enjoy seeing a wild animal being disemboweled by hounds is revolting. 😣🦊
Who doesn't love that sceptred isle, that precious stone set in the silver sea? Britain has given the world so much and been punching above her weight for centuries.
Sorry, but Brynn Terfel at the Proms centenary took the cake for me. Brilliantly sung, powerful, but with a joyous sense of cheeky fun in proudly displaying his Welsh patriotism with the ultimate tongue in cheek of singing the third verse in Welsh to peals of laughter from the crowd - made them sing the chorus twice as loud...😉! Rousing, fun and patriotic with a tinge of satire all in the same performance - lightning in a bottle...
Kiri as usual and outstanding performance of Rule Britannia I am a Canadian of British descent and I've always loved your singing. It's always uplifting to me cheers to you. Dame Kiri Te kanawa

And not an EU flag in sight! Good old days! And NZ can be assured that Rule Brittannia refers to NZ and Australia just as much as it does to GB in my opinion.
Those were the days I would have been proud to wave the New Zealand flag, unlike now where New Zealand has become a jingoistic, introspective, naval gazing little long drop at the arse end of the Pacific.
Britain was persuaded by an armed uprising during Easter of 1916 that the people of Ireland will never never be slaves either! ( But fair play to you Dame Kiri - well sung )
The Irish story is complex and certainly has very sad elements that most Britons are ashamed of. On the other hand, Eamon de Valera send condolences to the Nazi regime after Hitler’s suicide! Standards!

Why do Britannia have to rule the world? What is their qualifications to rule the world. About 1200 years ago the norwegian vikings ruled Britannia. But they left it all in a mess. I hope that Britannia leave it all.
+Karl Fredrik Nilsen Not the world. The waves. At the time that the piece was written, England was the single most influential naval power in the world. Patriotic songs are what they are. This is a patriotic song for the British in much the same way that "God Bless America" is for Americans like myself.
Because no nation in the world can ever withstand the might of the British navy - EVER. Hell, we sneak up to American aircraft carriers in our submarines and surface within torpedo range just for laughs

Absolutely wonderful. Delivered by one of the classiest human beings ever to grace this earth. Lovely to watch and love to hear!

Thank God, Mandarin will definitely NOT be the global language anytime in most of our lifetimes. It may be ancient but it is BYZANTINE, not adaptable.

Kiri Te Kanawa - Rule, Britannia! Last Night Of The Proms 1992
The by far best version I have heard on the Proms. The encore is even more amazing!
I'm an American but have English roots...and this resonates with me blood, it does. The mother country, the scepter'd isle, stirs me in ways I can't explain. God save the Queen!
So do so many of us! Yes!
THE BLAST THAT TEARS THE SKIES!!!
Britain & America Forever! 👍 - Doug in USA
Especially through these hard times
Death to America. Republican dogs.
This song makes me proud to be half British! God save the Queen!
I'm half British also! Love this song!
Yes me too
Yep here at the end of 2020 Our Kiwi "Dame, Kiri te Kanawa" is our proud and joy
Never mind maneuvers. Go straight at ‘em. - Admiral Nelson.
Lovely Kiri. My brother lives in New Zealand so I have an investment in Kiri. She is just fantastic
Mark Steyn was right about the excellence of Dame Kiri's version.
Mark Steyn is right about most things.
Love from Indonesia, Dame Kiri !!!!!
I think that this will make many non Brits feel some affection for Britain.
God bless Britain from we former colonials here in the States!!

Dame kiri.is nz's pride and joy
We just love her
Glorious!!! This brought a tear to my American eye.
. . . and to both of these as well.
Moi aussi……an American whose roots lie in France!! AND those haughty tyrants referenced in one verse were Louis XIV and Napoleon !!
Incredible performance of this, simply the best I've seen and that high c 5.14 is just wow.
Indeed, the best version I have ever heard.

She's sharp though. :( Very rare to hear the great KTK out of tune. I attribute it to over enthusiasm.
@@maryvallettakeith6146 Correct. That high note was not the correct note. That said, Dame Kiri had the most beautiful voice of her generation.
@@maryvallettakeith6146 yes, I noticed the high C was a bit sharp. Excellent performance though. Kiri is such a beautiful person inside and out.
I saw this live on German television when it aired. It was awesome.
What a voice What a Rolls Royce Beautiful
This is amazing.
PERFECTION,Magnificent,
I love it. What a nice feeling.👍👍👏👏

Does any other nation have anything close to Last Night of the Proms and its expression of national pride?
We dont, thats why I see on TV every year :))
Nope, as an American, I'm quite envious.
Americans constitution trumps like shit hands down, shove your proms, your royalty, your rule britania, your gun control up your fucking ass.

Blue blood and class!
Kiri is part indigenous maori.
The German narration at the end hit hard, lol.
God on you Kiri you hit them on the head !!
Try listening to her singing Mozart’s Laudate Dominum ! Sent from heaven !
I had no idea they showed the Proms in Germany. I wonder if they still do??
