I'm not an Australian, but what a wonderful song this is. Vocally, I am particularly enamored with female vocals in different styles of music such as classical, modern, opera, dance/trance, rock/metal and many more. This piece brings out the variety of Mirussia's excellent voice. As Andre said at her first performance; "This is the voice of an angel". And that is the absolute truth.
PRZEPIEKNY GLOS...FANTASTYCZNY PRZEKAZ...NIGDY SIE NIE ZAPOMINA TAKIEGO ANIELSKIEGO GLOSU ))) GRATULUJE TALENTU I ZYCZE WSPANIALYC H KONCERTOW I WIELKIEJ SŁAWY ))) 🌿✨🌿✨🌹🌿✨🌹🌿🌹✨
I was at this concert... I was about 4 at the time and I was with my great aunt, great uncle and parents. 10 years later and I've been playing violin for nearly 9 years. André Rieu, you have been my inspiration and idol throughout this journey, love you!!!❤
I am not one for classical music fair dinkum and crikey. But this man Andre has such a wonderful inspiring things of the love he does. You might say I have a Minecraft upon him. I think he's a genius the best classical musician I have ever known-in the last 100 years-no wonderful man how many to make me appreciate classical music the way I do now-fantastic beautiful wonderful man. Excellent he is when people say that they love music should they failed to mention this man's name-no respect shall they ever get from me?.
So the haters will hate-this man is dignified-this man is gracious and humble-even as He stands at the top of the world-as the greatest classical composer-still he has dignity homepage Westpac to his adoring fans-which I am one of by the should you say one negative word I will set you down and dismiss you with ignorance. This man is an absolute genius legend that is it that is all.
I always love to see these kinds of essential historical pieces paid their dues in musicality like this woman's wonderful voice and with proper accompaniment. Cheers Aussies 🍻 I'm about as Australian as bratwurst but I love you lads and Sheilas 🎉
Only Mirusia could sing this song with such feelings a true Australian does the arrangement justice Thank you Andre for bringing this rendition to Australia
I sang this song in since I was a child. I have sung it for over 50 yrs. I have never heard it done better. She is an angel with a public address system for a voice. She is not only on perfect pitch she has incredible volume.
I am British Born and went to a Derbyshire school, and we used to hear music at school on the Radio I am sure this is one of the songs we used to sing along to, as well as the I am Australian song as I know the words and chorus off by heart?
Possibly the first Australian song, it was first formally written down in the late nineteenth century, but that was based on a drinking song popular in Sydney and London in the 1780’s and 1790’s as transportation of convicts to Sydney was a new thing. It is appropriate that the song didn’t have a composer but organically grew in the drinking establishments of those poor people affected by transportation, and it meant enough to those people that it was kept alive in the community memory for a hundred years before a composer finally set it down on paper.
Wow, as an Australian I love this song. I was near Botany Bay today. My great-grandparents migrated as free settlers from Orkney, Scotland to South Australia. Should be national anthem. We should not forget our humble roots as convicts, lest we are ensnared by hubris.
Fifty or a hundred years ago to have a convict ancestor was a badge of shame, today it’s a badge of honour. Mine arrived from Dublin, curtesy of the British King, in 1816.
I love this song I can't stop singing it. Its stuck in my head, also this singer has a AMAZING voice 💋❤💖💜💙💚💛 I first heard this song in my class we were listening to it cause it was part of out education we were learning about the First Fleet it was part of our history 💋❤💖💜💙💚💛 L❤VE THIS SONG 😙😚😘💋 btw I live In Australia Sydney 😊💛
Such an amazing voice. I have just come back to listen to Murisia sing this song again. I've become a great fan of hers. Australians should appreciate her God given talent which she shares so willingly..
Many British people know it well to? we learnt it at school via the BBC school radio service. My cousin emigrated to Australia and sadly died there. I was tempted to follow him however I went to Kenya instead?
Usually New Zealand and Australia fight over who has the rights to what but well done Australia from at least one person in New Zealand for producing a lovely lady with a gorgeous voice. I bet you are all proud.
Absolutely a beautiful voice, a real joy to listen to....Are you sure you were not stolen by the Aussies from us Kiwis???? No matter I could listen to you all day and all night.
@@E83X yeah mate ... she is an Aussie from Dutch stock like me....I don`t live far from Botany Bay...I love this song which Mirusia performs like no other , my goose bumps get goose bumps each time I hear it.
You know I learnt this song at state school in fifth-grade my teacher was Mr Savage at Alphington State School I remember it so well we came in from lunch and we sat there and learned this song and I think the year was 1965 yours Jeff Rosebud Melbourne Victoria Australia
@rwfelton6020 vor 7 Jahren Ich habe dieses Lied seit meiner Kindheit gesungen. Ich habe es über 50 Jahre lang gesungen. Ich habe noch nie gehört, dass es besser gemacht wurde. Sie ist ein Engel mit einer Beschallungsanlage als Stimme. Sie hat nicht nur eine perfekte Tonhöhe, sie hat auch eine unglaubliche Lautstärke. Bravo Mirusia, wir Australier lieben dich....Ich als deutscher auch...Bravo, ganz große klasse

Most Australians don't appreciate what we have here in our land and people. It's something extraordinarily precious. Let's appreciate and treasure what we have.

Un canto que embruja todos los sentimientos bonitos que salen de un noble y bello corazón, una voz mágica que cubre de besos todos los pensamientos, que salen de lo mas profundo de las entrañas del alma,donde un publico extasiado sueña, sueña de amor por esta princesa, quien hace delirar a todas esas personas de múltiples e incesantes emociones que hacen temblar los caminos de los vientos,millones AndreRieuTV por subir esta excelencia de tema y vídeo, gracias amigo Javier todo precioso.
Lindo, lindo comentario del escritor y poeta venezolano, la verdad que me fascina como escribe, un artista de las letras, un hombre sencillo, con un corazón de oro para sus amigos y amigas, mirando este bello vídeo y esas expresiones poéticas,que me llenan de un inmenso cariño, por este artista como lo es Augusto Rodriguez, que Dios le bendiga siempre.
As beautiful as this song is, it literally only includes poms and no other ethnicity that makes up our beautiful nation. Hell, forget Indians(im one) and aboriginals, it doesn’t even represent the Irish, the second biggest ethnicity after the English lol.
