It is, indeed, a favourite of brass and silver bands and really beautiful when played well.
Bryn Terfel has sung it on numerous occasions but, although I think he has a fine voice, I prefer this sort of thing sung in a non-operatic style. (His latest CD is all folk-y type stuff from the British Isles I hear.)
