O Holy Night - Recorder by Candlelight with the Royal New Zealand Air force Band

It's that time of the year again! A time for joy and peace, love and laughter, living and giving, thriving and jiving.
Yeah, man.
Hope you're all doing great, she's been a year for sure. And you know what they say about years - one in the hand is like two in the bush, and that's a Christmas miracle right there.
All the best, and we'll see you again!
Featuring the most excellent Royal New Zealand Air Force Band!

And me!

I made my teenage daughter come out to watch this so I could be there and watch her watch this moment of history that she was never forget. My fatherhood responsibilities clearly now complete, she will be released to the wild.

[@deltafour1212]

Still kills it, after all these years!

[@Niosai]

I don't think my heart has ever felt so full. This is a masterpiece.

[@davetoms1]

Our generation's greatest Recorder player

[@vestibulescrush1377]

So true

[@rylestknuckles]

Kyle Gass might give him a run for that title

[@maggi323]

Matt, I'm speechless...Those emotions you put into your play! Fantastic. I felt everything. The band was also good, but i think they had 1 or 2 wrong tones.

[@dariom.n.4489]

Are you the REAL maggi323???

[@zerocks88]

I'm really sorry to say but about the wrong tones, you're incorrect.

[@oh2mp]

Matt, you really are the New Zealand's gift to KZbin.

[@СергейКаверыч]

*This video was released exactly when I started choosing a 24-h-repeat-song for christmas. Always on time, Matt

[@johnmichaelbushman]

This truly has the "middle school kid performs at a recital while his parents cheer him on" energy.

[@atjovchalop396]

He’s done it again. It is Pure emotion, excellence kindness and love. Just a recorder and candle light.

[@SkaerKrowe]

I imagine this will finally be replacing "All I Want for Christmas" in department stores.

[@gregvs.theworld451]

Somebody who plays music on the intercom for a store or restaurant knows what they must do or no balls.

[@LarsonPercussion]

I can say with the utmost confidence that you are one of THE most dedicated recorder players out there. Keep it up

[@CaptainFantastic222]

Beautiful. I haven’t cried in 15+ years and this broke me down in tears

[@brendandicks3272]

This is BY FAR one of the performances I've heard all week.

[@chuckjones7218]

Glad to see my Patreon money is going to making masterpieces like this. Rock on Matt

[@northwesternbelle]

Absolutely incredible. Nailed it. No notes whatsoever. Just happy to be here. Thanks, Matt!

[@eaaeeeea]

This made me laugh and to my surprise, literally cry. Why cry? To me it's so awesome and special that a bunch of people come together and do something so fun as this for themselves and others to enjoy. On top of that, the instruments sound amazing through my hifi system I'm lucky enough to have. I'm thankful for you folks doing this, I do not take this for granted :')

[@russtuff]

This performance, good sir, has reinstated my faith in humanity.

[@rooty_rootz]

It's the sincere expression that does it for me

[@Crocogator]

The power. The emotion. Christ is born.

[@JamesThatcher]

And here we finally have come full circle back to the recorder....

[@mr.worldwide9987]

He's back. Amazing ❤️

[@Cerbleur07]

Angels went to heaven, then fell and landed straight on their face.

[@Juggleboy]

I'm just left with chills. Incredible.

[@tailwhipstv]

The day the New Zealand Air Force declared war on all people who aren't deaf.

[@rhaleymusic]

Fine, fine performance! Perhaps pull the head out a little, recorder was a tad pitchy in spots.

[@Dalarus]

Oh yes!

[@AdriElric]

That proud face at 3:30, that's what i'm living for.

[@35november]

The outfit, the recorder being out front.... it all works so well

[@sheahutchison1969]

Bet those other guys feel like fools for spending so much of their lives not learning to play the recorder.

[@강아지-i1i]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@TrySomeFish]

bearded background guy #2 who keeps looking at Matt and chuckling made the video for me.

[@alexvocalist1]

Титаник был лучше)) Это почему-то не смешно как-то совсем

[@angelopluskwa]

My biggest wish has come true since I heard the Titanic theme.

[@athf226]

I love the one guy in the back really trying his hardest not to laugh.

[@shlatekkin]

OMG. I'm crying 😭 this was so beautiful!

[@sticklyboi]

The only holiday-related song I am going to listen to today, and I am so here for it! 😂

[@MagikDed]

[@m.a.packer5450]

[@smurfhell]

Merry Christmas to the one that made recorders so mainstream in this generation!

[@joshbowman85]

This man is a treasure.

[@pianothingsmusic]

I would say there’s definitely no better performance ever of this Christmas song 😂

[@SNPR7]

Nailed it

[@rpmotorwerks]

Woulda been better if you went for it and actually just smashed it.

[@vecchiola2]

You're a freaking genius, Matt. Love your work. It's become a family tradition that every Christmas I put on your Silent Night. Now there's another one. Best Christmas gift ever! 🪈😄🎄

[@onlinetuna]

my dogs love this

[@Qua416]

Welcome back, recorder king.

[@AxelWerner]

[@TakatoSakurazawa]

What a perfect Christmas gift!

[@TheEndOfABloodline]

[@mansquito2488]

The nearly 15 year old joke that just keeps on giving.

[@curtjuniuscosico8050]

jeeeeeeez

[@jrhwood_]

The New Zealand Air force takes after our National Bird the Kiwi - "flightless".

[@adamcolbertmusic]

What's the difference between Matt and the New Zealand Royal Air Force band? The New Zealand Royal Air Force band needs sheet music.

[@adamcolbertmusic]

Song request... If you could play Sea Shanty 2 from Old School RuneScape, that would greaaaate.

[@sergelyah]

That looks is amazing 😅😅😅

[@ベスビア]

Matt最高ですあなたは

[@Desantisgogoboots]

0:26 guy trying not to crack up as he knows what's a comin lol!

[@puluzu]

What a fucking treat! Playing recorder is not something you do, it's something you are. Like a manatee. Or a lesbian.

[@emmap2353]

This talent and professionalism... Unbelievable. I will play it on repeat for a ever!

[@Hugmir]

How did I miss this return to greatness Thanks for still being silly, Matt.

[@Cerveau072]

Holiest night✨

[@Narvre]

THE TRUE TITANIC GUY RETURNS

[@Djieff]

You did it again Matt! Merry Christmas!

[@SaltyDrifter]

My god another absolute banger dude!

[@FoleiCZ]

Ling Ling and Lucie Horsch would be proud of you.

[@thechoku9765]

13 years goes on, and he didn't know there's roach inside his recorder yet.

[@charlenemack7040]

Matt, I just subscribe to your channel it’s Friday, April 21, 2023. You bring lots of joy to the world thank you sweetie pie.☺😉😘

How can someone be this good at being bad? I'm mean seriously it's so good how perfectly bad this is!!

[@JuiceDigalow]

He's back

[@eeman-]

babe wake up matt just dropped a new recorder video

[@nirmalaliyanaarachchi8724]

This has to be one of those recorder performances.

[@gregvs.theworld451]

Amazing cover that made me cry at the sheer beauty of Matt's immaculate, masterful, and sublime recorder skills, however I'm going to have to downvote due to the lack of penis in the song.

[@willowtufts9821]

Absolutely amazing as usual

[@PinkSupervisor]

What a madman. After all this time, he done did it again.

[@MrThebearded1]

The Chuck Manjonie of Recorder

[@AustiuNoMatterWho]

im so proud

[@zerocks88]

Matt buddy I've missed seeing you in my subs feed. Right in time for the ecksmass hollidays, thank you my friend you have brought a happiness tear unto my dry and dreary face. I fell on my knees and everything. Kindness

[@BatmanShampoo]

This is up there with the likes of H Jon Benjamin’s “Well I Should Have… (learned to play piano)”

[@blank000]

I think it was Standard 4 recorder with Mrs Adams where I fully understood the capabilities of the recorder but I have not been able to associate the emotion of your recorder playing since the last time I listened to Mozart’s Requiem being played on a Harmonica

[@CindyZouPiano]

Standing ovation 👏 👏 👏!!!

[@moojg]

Matt … I laughed and laughed when you were 8 years old … you’re still just as funny now. Blessings buddy. Steve R .. Hamilton 😂 Merry Christmas

[@macreator9497]

you know him?

[@pulinduweerasekara1937]

guys im new to this dont rip into me pls and this is in the nicest way possible if I'm wrong but this is comedy right...

[@charlenemack7040]

I had the same question five minutes ago. He is a comedian… But it truly is hard to know whether this guy is serious… Or if my hearing is off because of old age lol.

[@pulinduweerasekara1937]

@@charlenemack7040 honestly if he is messing up on purpose he has to be seriously skilled to do that so either way, props!

[@charlenemack7040]

@@pulinduweerasekara1937 I agree with you. I found out today a famous comedian passed away at the age of 89. Have you ever heard of Dame Edna? I highly suggest that you check out some of ‘her’ videos!

The legend returns

Simply beautiful. Masterclass.

[@zoliDokkolo]

Guy still has it! Glad to see. Hope to see more comedy golds on the channel. As cliché as it sounds I miss that type of content. Happy Holidays!
