Even the war hasn't ended yet. The Lord is risen indeed. May God bless Ukraine.

[@Apriluser]

I am listening to this on Easter eve and my heart is full. How wonderful to hear these musicians singing in praise of Christ’s resurrection. May they experience His resurrection even in the destruction of their homes and cities. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.

[@jeremyshaw856]

They are so brave and full of faith. My heart breaks for them and brings me to tears truly blessed. Such beautiful singing under such conditions is just amazing - bless you all. 😐❤️

I hope these singers and musicians are safe and warm tonight, and that their families will be reunited very soon. May the risen Christ be close to you, bless you and keep you.

Thank you Kyiv Symphony Orchestral. Beautiful performance of Christ the Lord is risen today. He is risen indeed! The angel said "He is not here, for He has risen as He said. Come, see the place where He lay" (Matthew 28:6). Glory to God and blessings on your performance. Hallelujah.

Christ the Lord is Risen in any language. No man can defeat this. Praise the Lord for this performance. Thank you.

What a majestic arrangement of this beautiful song. “Love’s redeeming work is done!” We celebrate Jesus’ triumph over death & the hope for mankind that comes from His sacrifice and God’s unfailing love. We will continue to pray for peace in Ukraine, as well as for families of those who have been lost and refugees who are fighting for survival.

Wonderfully performed; Thank you... He is Risen Indeed .. a call to worship, whether our times are marked by success, hardship, peace, or war. The "finished work" on the cross by the very "Prince of Peace" can rule our hearts even passing through the "valley of the shadow of death" in 2022 We pray for the peace of Ukraine and the sustained resilience of her people to strive forward. May our LORD give you calm amid your demonstrated love for freedom. You show us all it matters to stand up to evil. The Resurrection is proof of God's assured providence.

As Diane and the late founder Roger McMurrin’s current neighbor, this performance brings tears to my eyes as we prepare to celebrate Christ’s resurrection. Thank you for carrying on Roger and Diane’s legacy with the extraordinary orchestra and chorale he founded many years ago. I sure do miss Roger as I’m sure many of in Ukraine do as well!

[@sifridbassoon]

where was this performed? It doesn't look like an Orthodox church to me. Just curious.

[@sebastiannoellagos5442]

All teach putin a lesson

[@lukeagnes9818]

but there is no coherence between the rhythm of the introduction and that of the anthem!

[@stephenpopovichl122]

arrangement a bit sensational- I know it is hard to make an original arrangement of this after so many but a bit over zealous just a bit. Good players though.

[@elizabethblust3884]

Any idea why the male and female singers are intermixed on the risers? I've performed many Rutter arrangements but always with SATB sections, so I'm wondering if it was the conductor's choice, a local custom, the arranger's suggestion, etc. It certainly helps blend the sound. (I put my comment here because you and I seem to be the only ones commenting on the musical arrangement and not on the political circumstances or ecclesiastical timing of our postings, Spring 2022, as the concert was posted in November 2019, when neither war nor Easter (nor even Covid) were on anyone's mind.)

[@Reinhard_G.1965]

Admitted; the shadows of the actual situation also cover this performance... But I surely would have said more about the musical aspects, too, if only my knowledge of this subject would be a bit wider than that of a cow about knitting... 🙂

[@marthaaschmann2112]

Marvelous!
