Crazy how I’m barely seeing any comments about the women who were the muses for Hercules. They did absolutely amazing.
THEY SERVED ALL THAT WAS POSSIBLY SERVABLE.
It was KILLER! Also, it's the most repeated track on this video :)
they brought us to church. AMAZING
They were sooo amazingggggg
Too much awesome in one video
Everything Drew Sarich touches is GOLD. I love this man's voice soooo much. His Hercules makes me cry, his Ursula was *chefs kiss*, and his Seymour still in Ursula drag fills my heart with so much joy. Such a treasure
I would feel Honored to be in that audience, as this magical confluence of energies and brilliance came together to be presented. There are notable faces within the audience that seem like they are uncomfortable, or just there because their rich family demanded they be at their seat. Sad, truly. The elites of the planet are quite afraid of the Power of Human Love.
Christine Allado legit made me cry with Colors of the Wind, her voice is so beautiful. She did this song so much justice!!!!!!
"For whether we are white or copper skinned" being sung by Christine in all her naturally tan/kayumanggi skin glory was epic.
She did great in the Prince of Egypt stage musical
Even though Pocahontas is a bit bland and not great animation, "Colours of the Wind" probably takes top spot 1 in a packed field of memorable Disney songs. It's quite haunting really, no matter who sings it.
She absolutely nailed it….it’s too good!
she sounded absolutely gorgeous
I was lucky enough to be there both nights and can honestly say they were some of the most emotionally exhausting nights of my life. To hear the soundtrack to your childhood performed live by such amazing musicians and artists is incredibly special. Thank you Mr. Menken. And thank for uploading!!
You are one lucky fellow!
I would have been just the same!! Would have cried my way through it😂!
How can I search for such concerts to attend live?
I can relate. I need to keep Kleenex nearby when I'm doing serious listening whether it's live or online. Thank goodness to my musician friends, I have a neverending supply ~
Hi, I might have missed it somewhere, but maybe you know it. Who was conducting, please? You might have great musicians, a great choir and the greatest singers and they might still flounder if there isn't a great captain and a great pilot to get the ship home.
It must have been fantastic. Depending on what Christmas traditions you have (if you have any) I belated Merry Christmas or a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Yours, Ann
Don't mind me, just a bearded 35 year old man sobbing his eyes out. I was born 6 months before little mermaid and spent my entire childhood going to see these movies with my mom and brothers and watching them on vhs over and over. These songs will always be a part of my soul
Drew Sarich captured the essence of Ursula. Incredibly talented and versatile singer, actor, and artist. Bravo!!
I was blown away by his performance. Along with the singer who song Be my guest, they been both wonderful!
weird
Truely good 👋🏾
That was so amazing!!!! His whole performance, not just the voice was ON POINT!
I can so see him as the perfect MC in Cabaret.
When the lady said “Alan Menken wrote the melodies of our childhood” she was perfectly right! I’m 44 years old and his beautiful music have just always been part of my life.
I’m 70 and agree!
Alan Menken has often said that he thinks Hunchback was his best composition he's ever written, and hearing the suite preformed here I have to agree. Nearly every song he's written is amazing, but the complexity and beauty of Hunchback is just something special. Also Drew KILLED it as Ursla
I wish they had some solos from it. I'd love to hear Adam sing "Out There" or since Drew was the original stage Quasi, let him kill "Made of Stone."
@@DanKeeleyMusic”Out there” is severely underrated. It is so so beautiful! I was hoping to get to hear it sung as well
The choir in the Notre Dame's medley. No words. This was an incredible concerto. I'll always be grateful to Mr. Menken for the wonderful music he created
Agreed. It's always been one of my favorite Disney soundtracks. I'm going to show my age, but I have the CD, and I must have played that thing hundreds of time. I know all of those songs so well. And I must say, they really did it justice and then some.
Man, if they’d gotten Michael Bolton for I can go the distance… one of the best Disney performances ever, along with Elton John’s can you feel the love tonight. But regardless, Drew Sarich should’ve done Michael’s full version, even if he couldn’t do it as well.
4K60fps video quality please!
To end the concert with Suddenly Seymour was probably the best note to pay tribute both to Alan Menken's journey in music as well Howard Ashman's.
Little Shop of Horrors opened both of them the gates to what would be a partnership of reviving Disney by adding their charms and talents for generations to come. Their works will always be hand by hand, despite Howard no longer writing his lyrics along side with Alan's melodies.
Disney legends forever.
I feel this is the best Disney concert I've ever heard, the track selection is fantastic, the arrangements were done with excellent taste, it's so beautifully performed it's as good as the original material. On top of this the light work on stage was astonishing. Goosebumps !
arrengements done with excellent taste? These are all the original scores! I have every soundtrack and I know them in every single note and every single instrument and...it was all live here exactely as in the recorded versions...I am...don't have a word to express what I am!!!
What I'd give to come back in time and know about this event and buy a ticket!
We all need a concert like this for every Disney movie!!!! Do it please!!!! Too many songs missing and we claim them!!!!
PS: don't understand why thay didn't do "I won't say I'm in love" from Hercules...there was the original singer and very good muses!!!
@@arcabal THis isend a Disney concert. This is a concert in honor of Alan Menken. He just wrote a lot of Disney songs.
@@Kullioking I've perfectly known who Alan Menken is since the day the little marmaid first came out in cinemas
Hands down, for sure
This concert set a perfect example of why music is so crucial for us. As crucial as what the story does to us
Yes. We, are the story of humanity. God loves this. 🙏
진짜 진짜 너무 멋지다. 나의 어린시절 부터 지금까지의 추억이 다시 되살아나고 있네요.
An Alan Menken comes along once in a generation. So glad I'm living when he appeared in this one, and can appreciate it firsthand.
Super agree!
RIP Howard Ashman. Would love to hear the lyrics he would've wrote with his Partner Alan Menken
Since nobody is talking about Eleanor Grant ( Part of your world’s singer ) I’m gonna go ahead : she absolutely killed it. Her high notes were so flawless and angelic and she incorporated the talking voice so adorably. Congrats on her
Totally loved it!! She did an amazing job singing that beautiful song!!
Absolutely! It’s so lovely to see a singer who feels the music too. I myself cry to part of your world (especially the ending with the choir) probably because it reminds me of the happy childhood memories I have. This girl couldn’t not contain her emotions either and it was so pure 👏🏼
Total slay indeed
Obviously had to look her up after this, and it seems beside that voice, she also plays bass guitar and double bass, studies at the Royal Academy of Music and has a drama scholarship with several roles. Just throw in dancing why don't you? :p
She made me cry... absolutely beautiful!! she put so much sentiment into this interpretation...Brava!!!!
OMG Sir.Alan Menkens "How does a moment last forever" is PURE GOLD
I LOVE HIS SOFT AND WISE VOICE
Drew Sarich was already so fantastic nailing Roger Bart’s Go the Distance. Then he decided to kill it in Poor Unfortunate Soul.
Yesss! Honestly we're lucky to witness that man!
Is Drew Sarich another Chester Bennington/John Podesta clone? They're popping up everywhere... and they're all little songbirds.
And Suddenly Seymour as well. Such a talent.
I was soo shocked at that transition between characters!
Im having to rewatch to go the distance now - i did NOT realise that was the same person ! GO MAKEUP.
Eleanor Grant embraced Ariel so majestically. She’s magical. Made me emotional, especially towards the crescendo of the song. And when the orchestra starts playing the “Happy Ending” song, and she starts getting emotional… 😭❤
Yes that was the moment for me.
I cried, too. ♥
Same for me. Purely magical!
Este concierto me hizo recordar la infancia de mi hija tiene aún la coleccion de peliculas de DISNEY y cada que veo el video es Fantastico cada interpretacion es Bellisima Gracias por compartir este video
Very powerful performance and like you said captured the essence so well. What the live action movie should have been. Missed opportunity.
Just teared up hearing 'Colors of the Wind' followed by one of the most beautiful scores ever which is 'Farewell' from Pocahontas. If my time comes I want that song to be the music that plays when all the people I love will have to say their last farewells.
Adam Jacobs’ voice is utterly magical. ❤
The Pocahontas soundtrack is giving me chills... OMG so intense!
I wished that Susan Egan had also sang her song from Hercules, with the Muses, her "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" since she was already there
I knew I recognized her name. She also did the dub for Spirited Away. Wow she has aged so gracefully! That voice is unmistakably unique and beautiful, forever.
Alan's face at 1:18:00 during "proud of your boy" killed me. I cried with him so hard 😭 He has to be PROUD of his works for real. He's a genius of music, he's a LEGEND. He deserves all the best awards. THANK YOU ALAN MENKEN. Your music will remain in our hearts forever ❤️
Okay, Home on the Range was the LAST movie I expected to ever see at a concert like this, but it's clear the guys were having a lot of fun with that section XD
That was MY favorite part of the concert. 😂
If you are in Austria, especially in Vienna (country/city of music) you have to perform very well. It was outstanding.
The world will be a different place when people learn to appreciate Menken's tremendous and extraordinary work on The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
That's why I'm here lol
The music alone plays a huge part in why The Hunchback is in the top 3 on my list of Disney films (#3 Hunchback, #2 The Lion King and #1 Beauty and the Beast)
OMG! The suite for The Hunchback of Notre Dame was EPIC (though I wish they would had sung "Out There" and "God Help the Outcasts"), so far my fav suite of the film's soundtrack so far. Also I totally teared up at The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Thanks for my childhood, Alan Menken.
“God Help The Outcast” would’ve been epic with the choir
@@blueskiesandclouds5596 oh man I got goosebumps just thinking about that.
💯 percent!! The score itself is by far the best one out of the Disney renaissance.
Interesting how the concert had Drew Sarich in it, but didn't sing anything from Hunchback of Notre Dame considering he portrayed Quasimodo in the 1999 Berlin production
I can't believe people downright skip Hunchback of Notre Dame's suite! D: It's one of the most epic, if not THE most epic soundtrack of all Disney movies!
Me neither, especially since this Orchestral Suite was specifically arranged for this concert and has never be performed before which made it a very very unique experience!
couldn't agree more!!!
One of my favorites for sure.
One of my favorite suites indeed. No wonder since by Alan Menken himself, HoND is his best work, though it's a pity they didn't sung Out There or God Help the Outcasts.
It’s a shame there weren’t more songs from hunchback. It sure is the best Disney soundtrack ever (imo)
31:57 - 40:27 Here it is... The medley we didn't know we needed. Let's see:
- 31:57 The bells of Notre Dame
- 32:46 Paris burning
- 33:36 Sanctuary
- 38:42 Into the Sunlight
- 40:03 The bells of Notre Dame (Finale)
It sad they don't bring:
Heaven Light/Hell Fire
God help the outcast
The Bell of Notre-Dame
Out There
so many good songs got missed from The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
I was looking for this !! Thank you !!
Absolutely love the notre Dame music! Thank you!
Hunchback score is one of the finest out there (no pun intended lol)! Absolute banger and quite impossible to not get goosebumps everytime I hear it ❤
Seen Alan Menken in tears is so emotional . Specially I can imagine he remembers his friend Howard Ashman rip . That’s the way we should honored our musicians and artist . The cast : extraordinary good ! Congrats
role of ursula was assigned so perfectly!! could totally see the fit, the sass the attitude totally ursula, amazing performance
I cant imagine the effort they put into the Hercules soundtrack during their rehearsals, they did such a magnificient job, unbelievable talent and synchro
The guy who sang Go The Distance nailed it!
It's the same man who sang Poor Unfortunate Souls!
Drew Sarich is his name. He also portrayed Quasimodo in the Berlin stage production of Hunchback called "Der Glöckner von Notre Dame" from 1999 to 2002
Those French Horn players are just awesome. I played in high school and college and the sound is just so majestic!
French Horns have such a beautiful sound. They soars above the rest of the orchestra and creates a wonderful kind of homesick feeling.
31:58 - 40:27 Best part of the entire concert.
Alan Menken absolutely deserves the title of one of the greatest musical individuals not just in the world, but in history.
1:03:01 Alan Menken is a GENIUS!!! It's hard to believe that he composed this WONDERFULLY HAPPY and COOL song watching a steel band on a cruise ship 🚢 Thanks God he never became a dentist (as all his family ascendents)
Can't get enough of Drew Sarich!
Incredible. Eleanor Grant's rendition of Part of Their World was moving. She was Ariel!
That "Go the Distance" rendition gave me the chills!
Without belittling the excellent voices of all the performers - what an insanely complex, lengthy and responsible creative work of the entire orchestra, chorus and conductor is! Bravo to everyone who took part in the performance! Bravo charming strings! especially violins, the love of my life!
Loved this show and Adam Jacob's voice.
I wonder how Adam Jacob, who is the original Broadway Aladdin , felt singing and hearing Aladdin soundtrack but on a whole new level - Alan freakin’ Menken watching!! Amazing!!
Christine Allado is amazing and needs to be given her own Disney princess movie where she can sing all the songs. I was hoping she was going to be the new Little Mermaid.
OH MY GOD. I'm speachless. I'm 36 and I definitely CRIED in every song, duet, soundtrack...there's all my childhood in this concerto. Words cannot describe how damn much I loved this (Amazing singers!!!) and how deeply I'm in love with Disney. Thank you Alan Menken for everything ❤ This music is part of my life. CHILLS from the beginning to the end. Spectacular! PS, Christine Allado, what a wonderful human and voice!!!! 😍And Eleanor Grant as Ariel..ahhh! ❤
PLEASE CAN SOME OF US ALL GET TOGETHER AND BE FRIENDS? LOL - WHEN IS SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON AGAIN?? - I NEED TO GO!!
Alan totally deserves this honor! He’s a god when it comes to Disney music
Guys, am I the only one who has already seen this whole thing like 8 times? 😅
Where can I find this orchestra playing? Where can I find a Disney live orchestra touring?
@@amylanai need to know too pls 😭
I loved the drummer on the left during under the sea, clearly just enjoying himself and not just pretending to. A great music is always both nice to hear and play 😄 I always thought this musical number was too short as a kid haha
Man! Two stood out moments for me here! The entire hercules medley was such a joy, all of them looked like they were having soooo much fun! And the Drew Ursula *fingers kiss*!
I immediately cried. God all these childhood memories. Wow! Bravo, can't even explain my emotions. Music really is art.
I was ugly crying by the the time he started singing how does a moment last forever❤
Alan Menken, what a musical genius! Watching him be so emotional when Adam Jacobs was singing “proud of your boy” made me cry. That’s already my favorite Disney song, but geez, even more emotional watching him shed a tear!!
Where is proud of your boy? I have not seen it yet!
@@hannahphoenix3299 1:18:00 - Proud Of Your Boy (Aladdin) - Adam Jacobs
Disney concerts are usually pretty good (around 7/10-8/10) but they really knocked this one out of the park. Even being in the orchestra this concert was emotionally exhausting. i grew up with these songs & was even tearing up as i played. The lucky people who were in the audience will never forget this night. I work with Alan at Disney & it is a absolute honour to do so. No one deserves that award more than he does. Congrats my friend. We will catch up once i get back from Australia.
Which instrument did you play in this fantastic orchestra? Can you tell if it was difficult to play the scores? Did the melodies flash you back to your childhood as they did to me?
I played drums. I was emotionally exhausted by the end of the concert. I grew up with these songs as a child (In Australia) & remember going to the cinema to watch the Little Shop Of Horrors. When the piano started to play the intro to Suddenly Seymour tears just started to flow. This will probably sound silly but hearing the music resonated with me & it was like being launched back to the 1970-1980's & reliving my childhood again. It's incredible that a generally cult figure show can still bring people & their memories together after 40 years. I am employed by Disney to play in their major motion pictures & Alan's music is beautiful. We were lucky to have a very good bunch of musicians in the orchestra that night.@@moow950
You such a LIAR why you making sht up trying to get attention
LIAR you say that your the drummer the only person who's face we don't see your full of it
The orchestra was not playing any games. They were on fire!!
Thank you so much for uploading this concert. When the adult life sucks, I love going back to these songs from my childhood.
It true now I'm 80youl l think was young very humpy thang you so must.
I'm in love with this concert and with the solists too! I wish Eleanor Grant, who sang 'Part of your World', would have sung 'I See The Light' as well though. Celinde is an amazing singer, but in this song she's constantly going back and forth from chest (loud and brassy) to head voice (almost operatic), which makes it almost sound like she's struggling or as if she's not sure which singing technique to use. For this song you need a more fluid voice, like Eleanor Grant's.
Although I really like Celindes Performance aswell I am inclined to agree. Eleanor is just exceptional and her young and fresh style would probably fit Rapunzel a bit better.
Agreed 👍🏼
Noticed this too.
I cannot imagine my childhood without Disney
This concert is EVERYTHING. I’ve had goosebumps all throughout. The nostalgia is real. The orchestra is perfection. They did such an amazing job in recreating the music faithful to the original ❤
Can't believe it took Drew Sarich less than 15 minutes to transform from Hercules to Ursula.
The magic of editing 😉
@AJR Film It is possible though, it took a bit less for me to go from Gulch to Wicked Witch in Wizard of Oz. The farmhands to go from Lion, Tin man, Scarecrow matter of minutes to take off all makeup, running through hallway 😅 And there is a drag queen who puts all of her makeup as part of her routine. It's possible. But you could be right in this situation.
@@ajrfilm0110😊😊😊😊
Maybe they did, or maybe it was different performances on two different nights? (Someone in the comments said they saw this on two nights). I'm not saying it's not possible, though! Either way great job!!
Somehow the most horrendous Ursula I've seen
my most favorite concert of disney because they sang the original tune and version. reminds me of my childhood so much
Oh my god! I'm searching years for something like this..and finally! Thank you Alan Menken for putting soundtracks on our lives as we were growing older!
I am speechless!!! I am just wishing that this concert comes to the US one day too. PLEEEEEASE!!!❤❤❤❤
Love all of them but The Little Mermaid really gave me the most happiness and tears! Bravo to Alan for making our childhood so magical!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great song but poorly done here.
1:02:24 She's clearly moved by the performance, what a powerful moment.
What an incredible legacy Alan Menken has left behind for us all to enjoy. He really is the magic of Disney.
Their voice together on « A whole new world » was a good match
Alan Menken is the hart & soul of my childhood. Thank you for composing all these songs, you rock! Because of you & Walt Disney is what makes me a devouted Disney fan, Alan I love you.
I am so thankful I can watch this for free on CZcams despite not being able to fly to Venice to see it in person. Thank you Mr Menken for sharing your incredible talent with us all. What wonderful musicians. Truly your song lives on.
It‘s in Vienna, not in Venice
I will always regret not discovering Hollywood in Vienna sooner and missing the chance to attend this concert live. Would have been amazing. I really hope they will organize it again in the future.
Don't worry. They WILL. "Hollywood in Vienna" IS coming back. So your time will come. Soon enough. 😊
that upwards crescendo into the final art piece of an ending in Colours of the Wind, is one of the most beautiful musical experiences i have ever experienced.
It is my absolute favourite part of the song, and has been made to sound even more beautiful by this amazing orchestra!
I super love love this Poor unfortunate soul, the singer was to PERFECTION ✅.
This was so beautiful it made me cry. And Alan Menken, we cannot thank you enough. Genius!
The singer of "Part of your World" got emotional in the same moment the choir singing the melted my face in the end. amazingly orchestra moment!
It was a glimpse of what Heaven hopefully will be like
Absolutely gorgeous and heart-touching performance. Color of the Wind is one of the most beautiful songs ever written; performed to perfection; however, then comes Eleanor Grant with the voice of an angel. 😊There are just no words!😌
Susan Egan reprising her Belle is something I'll always be here for! Too bad she didn't get to sing I Won't Say I'm in Love from Hercules as well.
My favorite : Drew Sarich (beautiful energy) , Christine Allado (perfect diction), Adam Jacobs (magnificent tessitura) Beautiful, so beautiful musics, songs and singers ! J'aime revoir ce concert, il est très beau et de magnifiques duos.
This gave me chills, especially the Little Mermaid and Beauty and Beast segments Breathtakingly beautiful! Alan Menken and his late songwriting partner Howard Ashman were staples of my childhood. ❤️
While watching the Colors of the Wind performance and the camera was zoomed in on her while belting, I said "She looks Filipino" then looked at her name and said "That seems like a Filipino surname" and now discovered she is Filipino! It sometimes blows my mind how finally we're having our own people's talents get put out there. Kudos to her nailing every song!
And Adam Jacobs who she sang with aladdin's a whole new world has a Filipino mom. Incidentally Adam is also the original aladdin in the broadway .musical.
You must not be paying attention then. The singer for Mulan and Jasmine in the original films is Filipino. There are lots of famous Filipino entertainers.
@@supitskyle7832 Actually saw those movies when I was very young, so yeah I know Lea Salonga is Filipino. What I meant was that I don't see much of us Filipinos being showcased in such an amazing stage. Hence my comment that it's refreshing to see some get opportunities like these.
Adam Jacobs, who sings the duet with her, is also mixed Filipino
Many Filipinos are in Hongkong Disneyland. Even the Band members. A Filipina nurse is in Disneyland Los Angeles Orange City.
This is just spectacular! Wien what a show! How elegant, how classy, how over the top glamorous! Amazing arrangements, orchestra, choir, soloists, visual efects, lighting, camera crew! Just wow wow wow, absolutely Hollywood! 👌👏👏👏✨✨✨✨
SUPER glad they chose to do the reprise of "Go the Distance". the final chorus at 26:11 is one of my absolute favorite Alan Menken compositions and this performer just nailed it. bravo!
27:00 - Muses singing...OMG! Made me CRY!! What an epic nostalgia!
Every second of the concert is majestic. But i never heard of live Disney yodels anywhere else. That performance is the climax imho 🤩
That's the best performance of Poor Unfortunate Souls I've ever heard!
alan menken always makes wonderful expression music he made me tear up cry all the emotions
The Best of Alan Menken's DIsney Songs and to top it all off, the grand finale was a song not by disney. AWESOME!
That Hercules medley had me feeling the spirit! Hallelujah!
Christine and Eleanor so beautiful wow , I love Disney let the magic still go on even when I grow old I’ll always have a special place for Disney princess ✨✨✨
I was there and it was one of the most incredible concerts I've ever been to. Thanks for uploading, amazing to be able to watch it again.
I was also there and it was truly a unique experience!
I was there too! the best concert I've ever watched, I am a big fan of Alan Menken and Disney, still don't believe I saw this live!! The gala was a 3 hours show! Amazing!
I’m playing Christine in the phantom of the opera concert t my house on Saturday 18 of February 2023 I’m a trained soprano
Attending this Gala is on my bucket list, been watching online for years.. cant wait to make it there. Thanks for posting!!
Was this event open to the public (buy tickets) or invite only? I would love to attend one in the future 🥰
His music is soo diverse, each and every second something new happens, melodies hardly repeat!
No copy-pasting in his composing! :)
My 13 month old has been listening to this concert on replay since he was a baby. My husband would play it to calm him down as a newborn and he is very much captivated by it every time he watches/listens to it haha thanks for the upload!!
Christine allado is freaking sensational. I love her in the gospel singer part !
And what a unique cast. I think mr Menken is very pleased with this tribute!
Me as big men of 35 year old, A whole new world still make me cry as a child 👏👏👏👏👏
I would love to have seen this live. They are just fantastic, brings me back to my childhood memories 😢 😊
Thank you soooooooooo much for uploading this. Omg they played Sanctuary from Hunchback?! As a composer, it's the most incredible piece of music I've ever heard. Why didn't I just book a flight to Vienna to see this - I regret it so much! Must have been one the greatest musical evenings a person can experience.
I agree. Watching this concert makes everyone regret not being able to see it in person. As a former orchestra player, I can tell when I missed something really good. The tickets aren't even that expensive. Some things are worth the money many times over. This concert is one of them. Worth much more than the actual monetary value.
I'm a huge fan of musicals and Disney music, so I wasn't even aware of this concert makes me crying in front of my Apple Studio Display screen right now...BUT I'm glad somebody uploaded this so I didn't really miss it completely! LOVE DISNEY FOR ITS AWESOME MUSIC!
Interesting how Drew Sarich was part of the concert, but didn't sing anything from Hunchback, especially when you consider the fact that he played Quasimodo in the 1999 Berlin production
Alan Menken wrote my childhood, which is safe to say defined my adulthood as well as I still return to his songs in my every day life, or just hum them under my breath at work (to the amusement of both my colleagues and patients :P). Thank you Alan
He deserves all the awards and recognitions of the world 🎉 he made a great soundtrack for all of our lives
Christine Allado you are amazing!! 😭💗✨🙏
Adam Jacobs is a living embodiment of the spirit of Disney.
Oh my god The medley from Hercules goddesses are fantastic!!! Powerful and full of joy, LOVE it!
