This takes "virtuoso" to a different level. I am at the beginning of an exploration of Balkan music ever since a short trip to Bulgaria last May. I feel like I've "come home" in some way. 'Utterly brilliant' is an understatement. Thank you.
To transcribe McLaughlin’s solos one would need a sharp pencil, maybe a mini calculator and quite a bit of patience… Elvin sits comfortable stiring the soup.
This is truly the most wonderful concert available on RU-vid today. I can't tell you how many times I've played this - too many to count. I saw him live in Poznan 7 years ago; best concert by far. Chris, the band, the singers were out of this world. Botti is a genius. I felt feelings I've never felt before nor since ❤
Cecilia Bartoli is by far my favorite singer. I have loved her for over 25 years. But this comment goes to the recorder player. He is incredible. I have studied the recorder and can tell you that the sopranino recorder is an easy instrument to make a sound on. A very unpleasant sound! It takes a lot to make it sound beautiful. This man is a master. The emotion and technique he possesses are exquisite. Truly superb. Much respect to Cecilia for not cutting that section from the set list. ❤️
ONE VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF 'THIS" FILM IS THE PRODUCERS DIDN'T HIDE ANYTHING TO REACH A WIDER AUDIENCE AS SO MANY SILLY FILMS OF THIS PERIOD DID. CENSORING ANYTHING TAKES AWAY FROM "NEVER AGAIN" !!!
