This lovely woman makes her cello cry....So fitting for this song.
Tina Guo is amazing in her own right. I adore her.
I'm 70 and have never seen anything like this.
@@joymcvey8331 love it too
Jonathan as always is absolutely astonishing. But my GOD that Cellist was phenomenal, no wonder she works with Hans Zimmer
AGREED! She "felt" every single note.
You should totally see her perform Swedish pagans with Sabaton on 2019 Wacken.

Yes. It was gorgeous
@@ninemealsfromanarchy7803 Well if you can't feel the music, are you a musician?
she’s absolutely gorgeous too😳😳
I am a recent Jonathan Antoine Addict. One thing I’m noticing with him is that he doesn’t just sing a song, he fully lives it. Here he is completely and perfectly living a soldier with survivor guilt…as an old soldier it is heart wrenching to watch. What an amazing performance!!
So agree....he is sensational. Doesn't have to act, feels every word.
So, so true. Every time I listen to this song, it brings me to tears. Jonathan is an excellent story teller... How much this young man has grown since 2012 !
Am in tears.. this song is truth. That is why it is so touching..I only wish it was just a song. What a touching performance. Thank you. God bless us all.
Well said....amazing performance❤
💯
Probably thousands of tenors can sing the notes with perfect pitch. BUT -- only a handul can imbue this song with the pathos and sadness that the lyrics demand. Johnathan is at the top of that very short list.
I thought the same
You should listen to Cormac Thompson sing this song. He is fantastic.
Michael Ball, certainly.
Josh Groban is the only one who can top his version from my opinion
This song was written as folks were excited on the way back home to a family reunion. It was meant to be upbeat and excited. That's why Denver delivered it like he did. It did not demand this pathos. Its pretty, but it takes the excitement of the reunion and takes it to a weariness and sadness that is only perceived by some to be demanded.
He gets better and better. His stage presence has blossomed and that voice is simply awesome.
I beg forgiveness, I accidentally hut the wrong. Arrow. Such a world class performance!!
yes he has.
Truly. I don't mean to compare them in saying this, but the commanding presence and delivery he has now is very reminiscent of Pavarotti himself.
Prodigy of a lifetime. So glad he did not stop pursuing his singing career.
And I'm sure he had bullies in school that are now sorry they treated him that way😂😂
It's easy to see that Jonathan understands pain on a deep level. Anyone who has was put through some shit as a kid would recognize that from his appearance on AGT. The passion that understanding puts into his music is....indescribable. I could listen and watch this man sing all day on repeat and never be bored. Glad to see you are shining bright Jonathan. From one bullied kid to another, it fills my heart with such joy :)
Ace, As we go through life’s journey, there will be times when life isn’t fair, or we are suffering from some kind of pain! Your response to Jonathan is a noble gesture on your part, and May you find peace, and know that there are people who care about you and everyone else who has been a victim. Blessings to you for a wonderful future, because you are the captain of your ship, and I wish you well.
@@erlingsalvesen6470 This gave me a big smile. I am older now and surrounded by support and love. I dwell a bit much on the past but on the whole I've no complaints about my life. Thank you for taking the time to say this though, it was very kind.
Jonathan you are fantastic I hope you come to Las Vegas and I'd be able to see you in life performance. Much hugs
And now he is laughing well done to him a class act what a voice
The pianist, the cellist, the vocalist. Perfection on earth!
This song is either a massive favorite or a huge flop based on the emotion put behind it. Jonathan shows the pain behind this song and it's absolutely stunning. Personally, I don't know how anyone can perform this song as well as Jonathan did and not cry during the performance.
This is perfect, and I’m a blubbering mess
So well said!
Two words; Michael, Ball
i also loved eddie redmaine’s performance in the film. it was perfect
@@bubbybets9336 I know a lot of people didn't and it's not one of the best soundtrack versions of the song, but in the context of the movie on screen, it hits me harder than most versions.
I don't think it's fair to judge that one without the video to accompany it. The pain and emotion are so raw and real from him it's hard not to love it.
That is definitely world class cello playing, by far.. what a touch she has and her dynamics are just emotionally moving. Nothing needs to be said about Jonathon’s voice that hasn’t already been said from the second he auditioned for a Britain’s Got Talent. The man has a world class voice like none heard in a long time. He was just born to do this and we are just lucky to share in it.
We aren't lucky, we are blessed to witness such magnificence.
Whats with all the grimacing !! Is cello playing really that painful !! Massive overacting methinks !! He has an ok voice !!End of !!
@@wendycarter5718 that my dear is the cellist feeling the music her way!
@@wendycarter5718 ji.
@@wendycarter5718 Really? Jonathan makes me melt every time he sings. His voice touches my heart and soul. Cello player is feeling the music amazingly and it is not acting, IMHO.
As an Iranian when I was watching this performance months ago I could never imagine that what will happen to my country months later..I feel this song within my bones..my heart and thoughts are with all the young brave lives that we lost through this ongoing revolution
I can feel your pains.
I mean mate you might have had some idea. The nation of Iran very publicly went through a major social and cultural revolution in 1979 and has been splitting at the seams for at least the last 20 years +.
@@Allagi22 And it was backed by the British Government,
I was so surprised to see your comment here just now. This is because a few days after the revolution started, I sang this song for my friends in Iran. I'm an Iranian living in exile. You can see my cover on my channel.
@Tina Field Howe ❤
This hit me hard. I sit at a kitchen table and bench that my maternal great grandfather made. It is 100 years old and my emotions run high how many people sat at this table? All gone I sit a lone.😮😢
I’m so happy that he made it to the big stages!
This is the guy from got talent isnt it?
@@aus822 yeah this is him
I've never cried at this song before, but holy crap this guy is amazing.
I'm peeling onions pesky little buggers make my eyes water lol
Eddie Remayne in the film? Bawl everytime
This is good, and I thank God there's Johnathan in this world. But Eddie Redmayne's version.... Broke my heart to pieces as I painfully and muffled cry so I can still take each note and emotions in.
How could one not cry when this song is sung? This song is raw emotion and the lyrics are heartbreaking. I cry every time. Jonathan's voice is breathtakingly spectacular.
Absolutely incredible. Brought me to tears.
Are you a fan of les mis ? If so i am even more of a fan
Yo what’s up Psych 👋 cool seeing you here
😢
A key change while delivering a sustained note and with a transition as smooth as silk...boggling. And that cellist is exquisite.
I’m 82 years old and I’m a fan of this young man.
I'm 79 and so am I, have been for 10yrs, since he astounded us all on BGT when he was just 17yrs old.
That was once a very shy boy. Now he is a beautiful confidant voice master
Jonathan always looks like he is in a storm of divine power; his hair blows back and he is trying to stand holding such emotion! It’s phenomenal. ❤️
I have the same kind of hair as him, but mine isn't that long yet. I need to know what product he uses!
Jonathan Antoine is the whole package. A sublime gift to the world.
I absolutely love this man! I watched him on BGT in 2012 as a shy 17 yr old and watched him grow in to a wonderful man and a highly gifted singer warms my heart! I'm not an opera fan unless I'm listening to Mr. Jonathan Antoine! Such passion!
I am an opera fan and love him.
@sandranelson3327 I like his opera singing! He reminds me so much of my son! If I can sneak a recent picture of my son, I'll show you! He hates to have his picture taken...lol
Same he's breathtaking and the fact no one thought he would be good makes it even better!
Until he shafted Charlotte....this @$$ hole is a scumbag
A mark of a great singer is the ability to take the audience on a journey
Well said
This performance is going to make me go out and buy the CD of Les Miserables. I have heard so many of the different songs and it is such an incredible body of works.
One of the best renditions I've ever heard. Jonathan is great but adding Tina is an incredible plus.
This world class performance by Johnathan and the beautiful cellist, is the absolute best it gets. Impeccable!!
Antonio J. Olivares Albaladejo check the one by micheal ball,
Impeccable performance
That guy’s a fatty - haha
I like his rendition as well... I liked Josh groban's version as well, but not as emotional like it should be, I feel Jonathan nailed the emotion part..
My God to think this young man suffered from depression .To see him now and his transformation to a super start and an astounding performance with the most deeply intoxicating voice .. absolutely stunning .. I was deeply moved by the song of empty chairs at empty tables .. .❤️
This weeping cello is so beautiful with the combination of Jonathan's voice. Definitely an amazing show. Well done!
Jonathan, thank you for sharing your amazing talent with all of us. I am currently in Afghanistan and you have no idea how helpful your songs are to me. Thank you again, I hope this comment finds you well!
Mr Couto Thank you for your service.
Stay safe Mr. Couto; thank you for your service to our great USA.
Thank you for your service! Gd bless you and our troops
Thank you for your service and bless you
Love you man!
Why am I just now seeing this?? My god, this is stunning. Best version I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen Les Mis live 6 times.
Some surprises are just wonderful, aren't they! XO
They both leave me spellbound, my eyes closed tight, reeling. The entire performance is absolutely impeccable!!
I got to admit, Jonathan has an amazing voice! And this is definitely one of the best I've seen! But I personally loved Eddie Redmayne's the most, only because he not only did an amazing job singing, but also vocalizing the pain of the situation, and to me thats very important for this song. I love Jonathan Antoine though XD
@@Jesus_616_Christ totally agree
but this version also good😭
STILL THE MOST HAUNTING EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCE. JONATHAN YOU MADE THIS YOUR OWN.
Johnathon has gained such self confidence. So happy for him. He seems so comfortable in front of the audience
I hope he knows by now how loved he is.
The way it SHOULD be sung! With passion and power in the appropriate moments!
Like his voice is the vessel for the song, and not the other way around. Such respect for the piece. No arrogance like most vocalists.
Jonathan performs this song like no one else can, with both power and great delicacy, so much expression. Perfect. He obviously loves this piece as much as it loves his wonderful voice.
You clearly have never heard Michael Ball...10th Anniversary of Les Mis'...try it them re-think this statement of yours. Jonathan is fun to watch and rout for but he his dreadfully out of key and doesn't have the range or projection to carry this song meaningfully.
@@glennandrews7689 facts. nothing tops the 10th anniversary
Jonathan doesn't just sing a song, he deeply feels each song to the roots of the emotions.
This boy sings with his heart and soul. His voice is angelical.
Jonathan you are a beautiful human being! It makes me happy to see you doing so well and doing what you love.
WOW amazing love you
You are truly a gift
I wonder if Jonathan misses Charlotte's company.
@@roberthoule9693 She sure was good to him. I hope she is doing well.
@@judithmcfarlane3228 After having 2 successful albums and a tour together, they went into Sony for their third album, and were each offered a solo contract. Charlottes album was released first. After, she decided to return to Music Theatre Arts school, to study Musical theatre which was always her dream. She now has a successful career in Musical theatre and has performed in Londons West End!
@@judithmcfarlane3228 And he was good to her as well.
So much emotion. He gets what the song is about he's not just singing it.
The first opera singer since Pavarotti that brought me to tears with the soul sweetness of his voice.
By far the best rendition of the song I’ve ever heard. I feel like the accompaniments aren’t being talked about enough. Beautiful arrangement.
His talent is overwhelming. He’s the first person I’ve seen get up on a stage and bring enough righteous skill to stand on a thousand stages. I love how he has grown since Agt. I can’t wait to see more of him.
Do you mean rightful?
@@janel342 nah, I’m using the US informal meaning: “very good; excellent”. Thanks tho. :)
I love how Jonathan was this kid that was up against the world trying to make it. Now he’s a King 👑🫡🫡
I understand that he was teased a lot as a child; making him miserable. But that misery produced the passion reflected in his singing. It was actually a gift. He understands the human condition. Nobody goes through life unscathed.
The kids that bullied him are selling fish and chips.
It wasn’t the misery that produced the passion. It was his strength, his will, his heart. He took what had happened to him and turned it into art
The best rendition I have heard so far, of that lovely song! The cellist's accompaniment was out of this world!
This is by far the best performance of this song that I have ever heard. The combination of Jonathan's astounding vocals and the superb playing od Tina Guo is just magical. This performance sets the bar so high that I doubt it will ever be surpassed.
New Music Video, Jonathan singing "lo Si/Seen" per Diane Warren's request! BEAUTIFUL!!!
He's come a long ways from the quiet, shy young man who crossed the stage of America's got talent.
It was Britain's got talent ,and was with Charlotte .
@@carolynneal102 accepted. However, a correction of little value, since it is the same show, with a different venue.
Larry Sheets not a different Venue, a whole different country my man
@@cheale1919 there are versions of the same show in many countries.
Larry Sheets whatever the semantics, the fact remains, your statement was and is incorrect.
Tina Guo is, for my money, the finest cellist I've ever heard. This was an awesome collaboration of two artists who really understand how to express emotion through performance. Excellent!
I would dispute that. The performance was great, but I know a few cellist that are a step ahead
@@alexgeiger5305 you would dispute that Guo is the finest Cellist I've ever heard? How do you know which cellists I've heard? Why would you dispute a stated opinion?
I think it's called a discussion.
@@alexgeiger5305 Her expression is absolutely top class, I'm absolutely curious and very interested in hearing whom you think is on another level. Even if I ultimately disagree I'm sure they'd be worth hearing!
How would you compare her to say Yo-yo Ma? Is it simply the emotional expression that takes her above him, or is there musicality as well?
At one time Johnathan Antoine was just an unknown auditioner on BGT, then he blew the judges away, and now other famous people can say what an honor it is to be on stage with Johnathan!!!
Just stunning. The emotion of your voice and melancholy of the cello just compliment each other so well. Such a powerful rendition. Thank you Jonathan.
World class!!! 👍
World class vocals, world class cello. What a sumptuous feast to my ears.
Newest Music Video, Jonathan singing "Io Si/Seen" per Grammy award winning composer Diane Warren's request! He sings the harmonies too. BEAUTIFUL!!! It debuted at #1 on itunes Classical Chart.
This is one of my absolutley favorite all time performances...such a haunting and sad song and both Jonathan and the Cello solo was so heartbreaking you could feel the pain as they sang it
I genuinely didn't know Tina Guo did these kinds of concerts. Only seen some of her personal covers/songs. This was a SUPER pleasant surprise. I found a new (to me) angelic voice and he brought out a cellist I've been listening to for several years randomly.
How very appropriate for this time , and so sensitively rendered . Bravo Jonathan , you pulled out all the stops . K
Listen to "Compass" and"Country Roads" both filmed from the same sold out Toronto concerts and Both Very Appropriate for these difficult times. They are here on CZcams, and wait till you hear Jonathans version of Nessun Dorma!
Listening to it during what mas as well be another civil rights revolution just makes it hit even harder
I believe that Jonathan would not be singing with this amount of depth and intensity of emotion had it not been for his experiences with life’s challenges and difficulties. No bitterness at all. Just humble sensitivity.
Wow, what an exquisite performance by these two (and the orchestra). Definitely will be adding this to my 'listen-as-often-as-possible' list.
One of the best voices I have ever heard. So emotional and beautiful to hear
To be classified as one of the best performances of all time.
voice. So very talented and from an extremely young. I've kept up every way and he even gets better and better. If you can believe that. I just love listening to his voice.
Jonathan.... your vocals literally pulled tears from my eyes. Your just such a talented young man with an old soul. Never quit singing my friend...
If the cello is like a voice, this 'duet' is sublimely beautiful
Best opera voice I have heard in all my 61 years old.
The most emotional rendition of this classic.. You nailed it Jonathan and Tina!! Now, with so many dying from the Corona virus this lovely song has more meaning than ever before as there are many "empty tables."
BRAVA>>>> well said!
No one is dying from the corona virus, they are dying from other illnesses that have compromised their immune system. In some the virus took advantage of that just like the flu does and they died. They sent a memo/directive telling the hospitals to list covid 19 as #1 cause of death even if they didnt test for it and what really caused them to die as #2.
rammer561 go back in your cave and put your tinfoil hat on. We will get you when we need a skeptic. Now isn’t the time.
Too many empty tables and chairs. I feel sad every time I see them 😢
@@rammer561 tell that to the over 100000 people that have died in the UK. im all for a conspiracy theory but not with something as serious as Corona Virus
I was at the LIVE Concert and the roller coaster of emotions that this Young Tenor took us over with such a variety of genres was extraordinary - ending with a version of Nessun Dorma that was astounding! A Classical Voice to be reckoned with & still so young for a Classical Tenor -
a great pairing for a duet of ND would be with Johnathan and Amira. Someone did up a video duet between Amira and Charlotte but J & A would be quite something to behold. Both are outstanding in their own rights.
Havent yet found a video of Jonathan singing Nessun Dorma and hes currently only touring in the US..... very sad :(
@@Vlozh His US tour is scheduled for late September thru October, but with COVID-19 who knows if they can actually happen. Jonathan has said that after the US concerts, where many tickets were sold during his PBS specials with all proceeds going to PBS stations across the US, that there will be a UK tour also. Jonathan has said he'd love to concerts all over the world.
Vlosh Go on Facebook there’s a video of him in a recording booth singing this aria. Nessun Dorma. I have this film off the news feed on Facebook, just type Jonathan Antoine in the search. His hair dresser recorded this on to her phone.
Jonathan your performance has me in tears. MY God man you are simply wonderful. Thank You
This young man is amazing. What a voice. And so shy and humble. He played at our concert hall where I had the pleasure of meeting him and his mum who travels with him. The cellist is outstanding in this
Anyone who can give Michael Ball's version a run for it's money, gets my vote. Bravo.
Absolutely, Jonathan is one of the only voices I've heard who is as good or maybe better for this song. His rendition of "Bring Him Home" gives Gary Morris' a run for it's money as well.
Jo Wolf there’s no way he’s better than Michael ball, Michael Ball is incredible. Here’s a video of Michael Ball, in case you needed a reminder: czcams.com/video/POvsvbc1yC8/video.html. The emotion on flame is incredible, this one is too slow and high imo
A Stop Motion Channel It’s not better than Ball’s version by any means. Hell, I fully recognize that he is one of (if not the) best Marius. But this version is a lot better than many of the ones that non broadway singers have put out.
@Stop Motion Channel. It depends on how you look at it. Johnathan's version is a classical take on the song, Michael Ball's is an actors take, both brilliant, both filled with emotion and feeling.
I think I prefer this? Which?????? Glorious
A beautiful and emotional rendition from one of the greatest voices of our time. 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

@@ursmue1937 Oh my, you need to listen to other voices. He's ok, but nothing compared to great singers.
@@jjaus We flew to Toronto for Jonathans sold out concerts, people came from as far away as UK. Europe and even Australia to attend. He sounds even better live. His encore was Nessun Dorma! It's on his latest CD Going the Distance.
@@jjaus Oh my you need to wake up and smell the coffee ,this man has a register way beyond his years .Watch his audition with Rolando Villazon who just might know what he is talking about ! I have listened to opera for 60 years and he gives me goose bumps every time .
Wow, I came into this like, "ah, algorithm's given me a solid rec, this guy does the operatic singing and's pretty good". And then I got chills down my spine like 11 times and cried. God damn, lol. Beautiful
I have just accidentally come across this video. I am so delighted to see that the painfully shy boy has turned into such a confident performer. Excellent, Jonathan.
From 1900 to 1999 we had Enrico Caruso, from 2000 to 2099 we have Jonathan. Bravo.
My heart aches as I listen to this version of the song, the brokenness they projected was overflowing and I couldn't help it. It was such a breath-taking performance.
Please buy his Album ‘ Going the Distance ‘.
How I envy these beautiful voices and musicians.
Jonathon is astonishing. So young yet a voice eons old. What a gift to the world you are. The accompanying Cellist brought me to tears with the power of her playing.
Les Miserable has some of the most emotional songs I've ever experienced... I love your voice Mr. Johnathan! You can sing Les Mis like no other... Just so beautiful!!!😍

Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Watching this at the close of 2020.... and remembering now that there are many more empty chairs at empty tables around the world.... hard for me not to cry.
Thousands of people die every day and millions every year. Some happily and some not so much, but if you constantly think about death and its negative effect then you are bound to be constantly sad. See it as something natural we all are going to share eventually.
@@ilikefishandpotatoes I understand what you are saying in you reply. I just think that it's the sheer number of people who have died over the last year, many needlessly.
Death is totally normal as much as birth is normal this is Mother Nature , I know it’s sad but it is normal.
It's okay to be sad and show empathy for the 2 million people who died in 2020 around the world.
That is being a human being, don't listen to anyone trying to miminize your humanity.
I miss my concerts so much. Being able to go out and mix with people without fear, enjoy the atmosphere, a drink at the bar and of course world class music. The psychopaths who have destroyed this have no souls.
So nice to see him blossom and open up. He has grown so much. The voice has always been great
This was my first time hearing his voice and I am in tears and full body chills! You can feel every bit of heartache and emotion behind the words he is singing. And the cellist…phenomenal!!
Even though this song is about grief and pain and is well portrayed by Jonathan, in the vibration of his voice I feel pure Love underneath the grief and this is amazingly beautiful. What a gift!
This song makes me think of all the friends I’ve lost to opiates. Rest In Peace Marc, Joe, Andre, Adam, John, Jon, Jonny and Alex. I fucking miss you guys more than you could know
Jonathan you are absolutely wonderful!!!! God bless you!!! This song was an incredible performance!!!! Best Ive ever heard it sung. !!!!BRAVO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Jonathan's self confidence and spokesmanship has blossomed from 2012 since Britain's Got Talent. Really inspirational.
One of the greatest gifts Britain gave the world - Jonathon Antoine : magnifico performance, a stage musical worthy of the greatest theater
This is absolutely stunning. I remember seeing his Britain’s Got Talent audition and being blown away that he was so talented at just 17. It makes me so happy to see how much his confidence has grown and how strong his voice is
When I was a kid, my dad used to sit in the basement, playing his old Caruso records. I didn't get it. Now I do; Jonathan is to me, what Caruso was to my dad. Incomparable. Incredible. Beautiful voice, no matter what he sings.
The cellist is absolutely brilliant. Jonathan your voice is so emotional so beautiful. Thank you both of you.
The BEST version of this song I've seen on CZcams. From the controlled and outstanding performance from Jonathan, to Tina's stunning playing, this beats the rest hands down. Bravo
Yes this is the very BEST rendition of this song from Les Miserables I have heard, I cannot wait to listen to it again and again. Thank you Jonathan you are amazing.
As good as this definitely is, it has to be Eddie Redmayne for me because you feel he has indeed just lost his friends.
@@suzanba7 stage and film are two very different things. I agree that Eddie Redmayne's version is amazing though. My statement was more aimed towards stage performances..
IDK, it ties with Ramin Karimloo and Eddie Redmayne for me.
INSANELY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!! I dove down the Jonathan Antoine 'rabbit hole' tonight, and it's definitely a Wonderland of musical delight! Les Mis is my favorite musical, and as I listened with tears rolling down my face, I glanced down and saw this performance happened on my birthday!
Check out Jonathan’s version of Bring him home, another outstanding recording!
First time I've ever heard this song.......BRILLIANT!!!
This is a magnificent performance by Jonathan Antoine.
One magnificent rendition of this classic-the power and passion are tangible. Bravo Jonathan 🎶
Wow, you look just like him in your profile pic.
@@thomasarussellsr that is him
@Allan the Great actually, without my glasses, yes. And close to legally blind with them. Why, do you have a problem with the visually impared? Or, are you just an asshole?
This lovely guy with such a lovely voice. Hard to believe he walked on stage, almost overcome with shyness to Britain’s got Talent
Does not appear to be shy anymore. Most impressed with the intro and his reaction at completion of this fine piece of excellent singing and expression of his art. Most enjoyable.
@@phlotographer Have you seen his intro for Amor Ti Vieta, also filmed at these sold out concerts for PBS? It was great.If you haven't heard him sing Compass or Country Roads at these concerts, they're all here on CZcams. He sang Nessun Dorma for his encore! Stunning! On his new "Going The Distance"CD.
@@carljacobson8342 Carl -- I am working on various pieces now on YT as I have not seen the PBS concerts. I have learned that he was in Toronto but somehow I missed seeing anything about the concert or we certainly would have attended as we live in the GTA. I would love to hear him and Amira do Nessun Dorma as a duet. One thing I really love about YT is the number of great musicians etc that one can view and likely would never know about in the past without such a venue for showcasing their talents.
@@phlotographer People flew in from all over the world, U.K. Europe, Mexico, across Canada, U.S. and even Australia for these 2 concerts. We flew from Portland OR, worth every mile and every dollar. He sounds even better Live. He has concerts planned for late September thru October 2020, the last one is in Toronto! Unfortunately with the pandemic who knows. Check Jonathans website for 2020 concert details. Buffalo N.Y. PBS station used this concert for their pledge drive, as did many, and Jonathan appeared there in person to help raise money, you might want to check next pledge drive to see if it is scheduled again, "Going The Distance" concert.
Thanks for your voice ..makes me so happy ...from Béjaïa in Algeria
How have I missed such a magnificent voice until now?! Utterly beautiful and moving! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I agree! I just saw the original audition from 11years ago - and was pleased to find him here a mere three years ago! I’m a subscriber now. I don’t want to miss another moment.
Absolutely stunning Jonathan. Gave me the chills and what a great chelloist.
Andy UK - SY Corrival - Rival 32 cellist* its cello not chello
I would be nervous just making a presentation when there are elders in the crowd. This Amazing Man graces the stage with great poise and charm to win over anybody.
Love the emotion from the chello player, she is what makes this version so good.
This and many other video's are from his Sold Out 2019 Toronto concerts filmed for American PBS TV. You may enjoy Jonathan's videos of "Amazing Grace/Grazia" and "These Are the Special Times/Momenti Splendidi"(A Best Video Music Award winner) Both are Beautiful to watch and Listen to. "Io Si/Seen" is per Grammy award winning composer Diane Warren's request! It debuted at #1 on itunes Classical Chart, as did his recent CD "Christmasland Platinum Edition" "Nessun Dorma-Home Performance" was filmed at 2:00 a.m. after a Global chat with Fans. One of many Gifts during Lock Down. Jonathan sings beautifully in any genre and in 3 languages; English, Italian and German. His "O Holy Night" and "How Great Thou Art"(That last note is STUNNING) from his live streamed 2020 Christmas concert are Fantastic too. Enjoy.
The sound of that cello and the sadness that Jonathan shared literally changed my being. Thank you CZcams algorithm
"I can hear them now".. . Poignant...So grateful Jonathan is on this earth!
There's a grief that can't be spoken,
There's a pain goes on and on.
Empty chairs at empty tables,
Now my friends are dead and gone.
Here they talked of revolution,
Here it was they lit the flame,
Here they sang about tomorrow and tomorrow never came.
From the table in the corner,
They could see a world reborn,
And they rose with voices ringing,
And I can hear them now
The very words that they have sung
Became their last communion
On this lonely barricade, at dawn.
Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
That I live and you are gone
There's a grief that can't be spoken,
And there's a pain goes on and on
Phantom faces at the window,
Phantom shadows on the floor,
Empty chairs at empty tables where my friends will meet no more.
Oh my friends, my friends don't ask me
What your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friend will sing no more.
Nancy Marisela Thank You!
Gracias
Tysm!
Dziękuję
Merci
Phenomenal! I remember him from Got Talent days and he is even more sensational than I thought he would be. The cellist is unbelievably talented with tear dropping sounds emanating from her instrument.
My heart is breaking listening to this incredible rendition by both Jonathan and the cellist. A stunning performance! Thank you both so much.
Many versions done, but this one is BY FAR the best! So much emotion behind a brilliant melodic voice backed up by a great cello!
Oh man, that just hit me right in the feels. He is the only Opera singer that can make me cry. Such a beautiful, passionate voice.
