Bellosh 3,419 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Thanks for posting. To this day, my favorite pieces JW has ever performed live, was back in 2014 at the Boston Symphony was a back to back performance of Hymn to the Fallen and Dry Your Tears Afrika. It was jaw dropping. thx99 and SteveMc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I watched this on a livestream last night actually. A lovely performance. I'm so glad that this piece has become the standard repertoire for these events. thx99 and SteveMc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 There are surprisingly many different versions performed by many different orchestras around the world, but the original Boston Symphony version conducted by JW is still arguably the very best. Simply unbeatable. SteveMc and Amer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
