It had to be a sublime and unmatchable experience to perform this piece. The choir looks like it would be impossible to do anything other than sing this work.

Other than RVW's "Serenade to Music", this is one of his most stellar works.

Beautifully conducted by such a young man.The beeb certainly knows how to put on a concert.One of RVW's finest choral works.I read that he had a bet with his friend Holst as to who could composes the best Toward The Unknown Region. RVW won.

“Toward the Unknown Region” R. Vaughan Williams (UK): 1906 Written when he was 34: set to a text by Walt Whitman. Darest thou now, O Soul, Walk out with me toward the Unknown Region, Where neither ground is for the feet, nor any path to follow? No map, there, nor guide, Nor voice sounding, nor touch of human hand, Nor face with blooming flesh, nor lips, nor eyes, are in that land. I know it not, O Soul; Nor dost thou-all is a blank before us; All waits, undream’d of, in that region that inaccessible land. Till, when the ties loosen, All but the ties eternal, Time and Space, Nor darkness, gravitation, sense, nor any bounds, bound us. Then we burst forth-we float, In Time and Space, O Soul prepared for them; Equal, equipt at last (O joy! O fruit of all!) them to fulfil, O Soul.

Walt Whitman (1819-1892). Leaves of Grass. 1900. Whispers of Heavenly Death WHISPERS of heavenly death, murmur’d I hear; Labial gossip of night-sibilant chorals; Footsteps gently ascending-mystical breezes, wafted soft and low; Ripples of unseen rivers-tides of a current, flowing, forever flowing; (Or is it the plashing of tears? the measureless waters of human tears?) I see, just see, skyward, great cloud-masses; Mournfully, slowly they roll, silently swelling and mixing; With, at times, a half-dimm’d, sadden’d, far-off star, Appearing and disappearing. (Some parturition, rather-some solemn, immortal birth: 10 On the frontiers, to eyes impenetrable, Some Soul is passing over.)

A good massed sound but last night's Prom performance was even better. Soraki Oramo acheived far more musical imagination and the BBCSO and Chorus have so much more musical maturity and know what to do with the music.

@ Alex tea drinker: What does "musical maturity" mean? BTW, it's fine to prefer one performance over the other, but it shows a lack of maturity to put other ensembles down in order to pump other ensembles up.

@@danmoran454 it means the performers are able to show they have more musical experience. It also depends on the conductor. A different conductor might have done better. A very fine NYO performance is Schoenberg's die Gurrelieder conducted by Boulez. It is on youtube. The NYO is usually wonderful but with Petrenko in that RVW work the performance could have been better.

@@Listenerandlearner870 "it means the performers are able to show they have more musical experience." Yeah, that's what I thought you meant by it and I don't agree with that line of thinking. With musicians of this caliber and regardless of their age (having been trained by the best, regardless of who the performance conductor is), it really doesn't matter who the conductor is, as it didn't in this performance, they still produced superb results. As they probably could have done without a conductor at all! Or have the First Concertmaster serve as a "guide" during the performance. This performance was among the best I've heard particularly from a choral standpoint.

Frustrating there are no surtitles. Also, the picture quality is poor from the BBC.
