Libera Video on the ClassicFM Hall of Fame

ClassicFM has posted a video by Ralph, Kavana and Cassius talking us through their nomination for this year's Classic FM Hall of Fame! But it's not Robert Prizeman! lol  Isn't that who we've been suggesting? Classic FM says, "If only they can get the composer's name right!"  :)



They are nominating Saint Saëns' "The Organ Symphony." Cassius says Saint Saëns "is a very weird name, but it's OK because he's French." Hahaha! Cassius is so funny and.........so tall! Oh my word! He grew so much! Seriously, he must be standing on a box.  :)

Kavana says, "As Libera, we've sung our own version of this piece. And, being old school, we've included the words of 'Gloria.'"

Cassius says, "But it's in Latin, so it's much different to other songs."

Ralph says, "I personally like it, because it's just so high and we can let our voices go free. But also in the orchestra version, it just goes WHOOSH! And it just blows your mind. And you just think WOW! It's like you've had a sip of ?" Sorry his accent is fooling me there. ???

Kavana says, "It's loud, it's dramatic, and that's why we chose 'The Organ Symphony' by Saint Saëns."

Then they proceed to argue over how to say Saint Saëns.  :D

Thank you to Fan de LoK on how to type the ë. It's Alt 137 (in case I forget).   :)
