Again, sorry for not including two more comments. How fitting that a Worcestershire orchestra should play Elgar in his native surroundings. And second, how well the performers did in overcoming the echoing acoustics of, I assume, the cathedral.

Sorry, in the previous comment I should have congratulated conductor and orchestra on a very fine live rendition-no easy feat. Bravo.

It’s astonishing how Elgar offers us the opening motif in a major key and still gives it that characteristic tone of noble melancholy. Then switches to the minor and makes it sound positive and forward looking. There is a story that he accepted a challenge to marry the two clashing key signatures. If true he surely won the challenge.

Vielen herzlichen Dank!!!

where is this orchestra located?

So good omg

RIP Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 2nd.

Crap

How can you not remember Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II when hearing this beautiful piece of music.

This single player arrangement is beautiful and clear and much needed. Tells us so much about the piece! But how dare you replace the harp with a piano!

I just noted that QEII and Marilyn Monroe were born in the same year and that QEII died 60 years after Marilyn's passing. Two different and remarkable women. RIP

On the fast side!

Muito bom. Arlen é um fofo.

God bless HM Queen Elizabeth II

Elizabeth was a wonderful example of grace and duty. My mom looked so much like her. They were the exact same age. She was told often of the resemblance. I loved it.

for someone who wrote a violin concerto mainly because he didn't much like the ones other people had written (a sentiment I tend to share which is one reason I haven't written one) this is a pretty nice effort -- the slow movement is at times mesmerisingly beautiful.

Je suis très heureux d'entendre ce concerto (malgré le son de KZbin ou de mon ordinateur). Merci !

Reat in Peace my Queen

God save our gracious Queen, God save our noble Queen, God rest her soul. May she find peace in heav'n, a lifetime service giv'n with duty, grace and charm, God bless you ma'am.

She was my Queen, she was and is all I had ever known, and now she is gone. And now we enter an age where 3 Kings are guaranteed, Charles 3, William 5th, George 7th. I suppose the proudest moment for me was when King Charles the 3rd and Queen consort Camilla stepped from their car after the Queens was deceased and went to greet the assembled crowd outside Buckingham Palace, and shared their grief and emotions and congratulations on Charles becoming King, a step which no royal before them had ever taken, such a gigantic step forward for the monarchy and one which I wonder if we'll ever see again. The King has come of age and I hope he can lead us well. Long live the King.

Ma’am

Bravo, WELL PLAYED ALL. 🙇 🙇 🔥 🔥 💋 💋

When queen Victoria died, her grandchildren quarrelled and we ended up entering into some of the most brutal wars the earth has ever seen. Now HM QEll has passed on, her grandchildren quarrel, we face global unrest and we are arguably on the brink of WW3. I miss the Elizabethan age so much already.

Just been

Beautiful... At once magnificent and introspective. Bravo 👏and thank you

I am a Yakut. And I've never been to England. But even I was sad when I heard the news that Queen Elizabeth II had died. My condolences to England😔

I will have her late Majesty in mind when Nimrod is played at the Cenotaph on Sunday. I miss her.

I truly fear for the future of our monarchy now that wonderful lady has sadly departed. Not a foot wrong in 70 years of duty to all of us and the nation. OK, Phillip made the odd gaffe. Look at what we now have. A king who meddles in politics with a dodgy history. A Prince of Wales who panders to popular culture. If only Princess Anne had been born first we would be in safer hands.

Lovely piece of video, very fitting *sob*

God Save the Queen! She may have passed, but will be forever in our hearts

Rest In Peace your Majesty 🙏🏼Duty done⚘️

Elizabeth the Great !

There could be no finer piece of music to offer, to remember Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II Rest in well-deserved peace. From a loyal Canadian.

This shud av been played at the Queens funeral

My nan was a land army girl n it was her funeral 2day n this was played such a beautiful piece of music so sad 😔

Sublime.

Thank you

The queen was the people god rest her ❤️ sole she home with Philip the Duke of Edinburgh rip together ❤️ again

this was the first song radio 2 played after she died. followed by 2 more classical compositions and resumed music with words with "Make You Feel My Love" by Adele (also the last song Heart and Virgin Radio played before she died). the days following, the station was more focused on mellow selections until they slowly resumed regular programming the day after her funeral.

I’m almost glad she left us immediately after the beginning of the Liz Truss era…….

God and the angels rest ye for aye, good Queen Lilibet

Edward Elgar's Enigma variations , the quintessential piece of british music for the most quintessential british Ladies in my life my late mother Sheila and Queen Elizabeth II , Rule Britannia ,God save the Queen , British by the grace of my mother and the motherland

Rest in peace the most amazing Queen!

20th century is finally over. RIP Queen Elizabeth 2.

I wish this music was played at the late Queen Elizabeth's funeral. Elgar's music is so majestic and grand, fit for a Queen. RIP Queen Elizabeth II
