I adore this track and every time I listen to it, it's like my Dad is with me again. Every time we went out for a lunchtime drink together he would play this on his stereo on the way back to work, blasting out of the car stereo. My Dad died 16 years ago yesterday but this beautiful song brings him back to me every time I listen to it. Simply amazing.

uefa champions league theme anthem is inspired by this piece. wow !

Fantastic! I hope my neighbours enjoyed it. It cannot be played quietly. 😁

In summer 1976, SNOC toured the US in honor of the Bicentennial. Their glorious, unforgettable concert at St Bartholemew in NY, conducted by John Currie, included Zadok the Priest. A highlight? Every piece was a highlight! Ave verum corpus, Rejoice in the Lamb, Verdi's Te Deum... One of the most marvelous concerts I've ever heard.

timpani is a bit too thin

[@ajg617]

Much prefer Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy version of this piece.

[@jarmohaapala1359]

Handel? I say he was Händel

[@stephenblackhurst2425]

So you talk about Lulli and Maria Antonia rather than Lully and Marie Antoinette 🤣 Almost every extant signature by Handel is signed by the composer in the English form.

[@gonzalourriche5064]

Es el himno de la champion. No??😅

Too fast
