This is a perfect performance. The intermezzo is played at the correct speed - bravo. I've seen too many conductors race the opening movement as though they can't wait to get it done, which is such a shame. This was just brilliant. The ballade's pathos after the intermezzo is quite stunning. I just love this music of Finland's genius and this is a magical performance.
One of my favorite performances of this masterpiece, Anna has such an ethereal and pure voice that it elevates the entire piece to a magical dream like world, also the male singers are brilliant, bravo!
Beautifully sung. Just beautiful. Didn't like the piano second movement at all. Listen to the Oksana Lepska performance to hear perfection in the accompaniment.
Terrific performance, one that does this extraordinary masterpiece justice. Joyful and inspirational. An absolute treat to listen to, thanks for sharing
Belfast born poet, Joseph Campbell, composed the lyrics in 1904 to a setting of an old Irish air by Herbert Hughes who had collected the tune the previous year in County Donegal
I agree with many of the comments here. This is a great performance made in front of what seems like a very small audience and captured with a single camera! Yet the sound is well balanced and the whole video is a joy for me.
Фантастическая музыка! Отличное исполнение, как будто Кадри -- ученица самого Арво Пярта, спасибо. Прослушал несколько раз, жаль, так мало лайков. Выкладывайте свои записи ещё
clearly, Szalucka understands not only the beauty of this work but its sheer melodic & rhythmic humourousnesses: a thoroughly engaged - & engaging! - performance. BRAVI!
