Greensleeves (anon and F. Cutting): Daniel Estrem, renaissance lute 

This song will forever sound the best on the lute

this song sounds perfect on the lute

how it was intended to sound. Amazing

Love it! Genuinely makes me feel like I'm in a tavern hundreds of years ago.

I use these for my D&D group when my Bard plays something. :D It makes it much better than just saying, "I play my lute." and sitting in silence.

Ah, another piece by the most prolific composer in the world: Anon Beautiful playing, btw!

I've always thought that Greensleeves sounds like the quintessence of medieval music, and this cover has cemented that impression.

Imagine you’re in then Middle Ages and you’ve never even heard music, and this is the first song you hear

I had a miserable day and this song was like a balm for my heart. Thank you.

Man it's so sweet to see that after all this time you're still responding to comments

Best on RU-vid Ive found yet

I first watched this 3 years ago. Sometimes you can’t beat a classic

Amazing rendition. This video deserves much higher view count

this makes me feel very nostalgic, my parents used to hum this to me as a child so hearing it again now feels nice

A song that has stood the test of time. Many thanks for showing us how beautiful it really is.

You are really dedicated to your craft, not only are you amazing using a lute, you sill reply to your fans, even years after this video was published! We need more people like you!

One of the best performances I’ve ever heard. Your playing reinvokes the XVI century atmosphere perfectly

I'VE FINALLY FOUND THE NAME OF THIS SONG!

This is genuinely one of my favorite songs from any era. Beautifully done!

I always forget how much I like the lute, and then this pops up in my RU-vid recommendations. Good to be reminded

They’ve recently used your video on a Facebook classical music page, I just had to find the original and give credit! This sounds absolutely beautiful!

Alas my Deer you do no wrong, to post these up so courteously

I love this, you play an old instrument beautifully, a man of true talent. God bless you sir

Discovered this video, because of an online test by my teacher. And I'm so glad I found it! I'm giving it a like!!!

Снимаю шляпу и вечно благодарен , что на земле такие люди есть Другим путём до слёз не добудиться и сердце у меня похоже есть.

Not many know the Cutting version. I once played it in a duet without the trad anon intro. Thank you for the memories. Beautifully played.

Its times like this I'm thankful for the internet. That was simply beautiful. Thankyou for sharing 😊.

Amazing.... For a few minutes I escaped 2020 and felt I was 400 or so years back. I could see the houses, the people, the muddy streets.... I was there! 💙❤️💜

Alas my love you do me wrong To cast me off discourteously; And I have loved you oh so long Delighting in your company. Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves my heart of gold Greensleeves was my heart of joy And who but my lady Greensleeves. I have been ready at your hand To grant whatever thou would'st crave; I have waged both life and land Your love and goodwill for to have. Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves my heart of gold Greensleeves was my heart of joy And who but my lady Greensleeves. Thy petticoat of slender white With gold embroidered gorgeously; Thy petticoat of silk and white And these I bought gladly. Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves my heart of gold Greensleeves was my heart of joy And who but my lady Greensleeves.

Fantastic, it is the first time that I watch someone playing this melody and I found it really incredible. Congratulations on your talent.

Greensleeves is filled with so much desperation but also filled with hope. It’s a perfect mix. Well played.

,,Зелёные рукава" слышал раньше, но в современной обработке, а здесь, только Маэстро заиграл, у меня просто дыхание перехватило. Вот значит как звучит лютня, такой замечательный голос, и красивое исполнение прекрасной музыки. Аплодирую стоя 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Absolutely beautiful, thank you so much.

Thank you for this beautiful and clean performance!

I playing this song on my viola for an orchestra concert almost a year ago and almost falling asleep because of how calming it is

My favorite way this song is played, thank you!

This song touches the soft part of my little heart and makes me feel a bitter sweet feeling. I love this so much and you did an amazing job! Thank you for putting this out there.

I love the oldies!

My friend told me she likes greensleeves. I knew the tune, but I wanted to refresh it in my mind. I searched youtube for greensleeves lute, and you were the first result. Very well done, I see why she likes the tune so much.

This genius of a man brings Tudor England to the modern day exquisite doesn't cover his talent Keep on keeping on this mans playing and his choices gladden my heart A tonic for toxic times thank you once more 🙏☺

Your video popped up on my recommendations.. I am not disappointed. I've been looking for music like this. Keep up your good work sir and may you be blessed with good health and good fortune.

Beautiful, relaxing and realy immersive!

Thank you for not grimacing, bugging out your eyes, or otherwise looking like you are having a baby as you play this wonderful piece of music. A true professional.

I only searched for this to check I had the right title to the tune I've had in my head. I clicked on some random video and ended up here. I knew it was the one I was thinking of after only 8 seconds......... But ended up listening to this whole video (Twice in the end !) because your playing had such feeling that I couldn't just cut it off before it finished. Thanks for uploading this. An easy "Like" from me.

This is really lovely and serene! Thank you for this!

Fantastic. Absolutely gorgeous!

It’s amazing how this song was in pop culture since the Middle Ages through the renaissance through the classical era through the industrial revolution through 2 world wars through the digital era through the second millennia and all the way till 2022 with no signs of stopping.

I could listen to it a thousand times and would still want more! I'm addicted to your videos!

What a great play ! I wish i can play lute too, love from Indonesia !

¡Hermoso! Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷🇬🇧

I love listening to this. It brings me peace.

It amazes me how elegantly and beautifully you play the lute, I really like it, thank you very much for your work!

Sir you are amazing..

I love this so much 💖 Thank you for sharing your talent and letting all of us travel back in time with your music 🙏

Very nice, thanks for posting.

Sir, your melody indeed melts my soul. Thank you for your great rendition!

Beautiful! This was one of the first songs I learned to play on the harp! It will always have a special place in my heart and I love this rendition, thank you for sharing it!

Thank you for this brief moment of peace you've given me sir. It's been a rough few years, but fantastic music like this gives me strength. You can truly find God in beautiful music. Bless you Mr. Estrem!

Why am I just discovering this masterpiece? Excellent job and wonderful arrangement

What an absolute G! Responds to every comment as far as I can be bothered to scroll. Respect.

There is no better version of this song than this one right here.

Splendid, imortal mood!

It's not every day you come across something as charming as this! This was a very good introduction to an instrument I've never heard being played before. Bravo, sir

Best old ancient string version ever, indeed!

This is so beautiful and I want to believe the theory that Henry VIII made this for Anne Boleyn

Slowly starting to fall in love with the lute. After discovering The Witcher books and games, I've wanted to play the same instrument as my favorite character, dandelion. I want a lute to cosplay him with, but I also would like to learn to play the lute since I already play guitar, bass, and uke. Good thing Christmas is coming up.

Happy 2021, Dan!! I wish you health and lots of music for this year. Big hug from Buenos Aires.

You are great! A pleasure for the ears. From Italy🇮🇹

I'm starting to think that Patrick Rothfus, author of the name of the wind had no idea what a lute was when writing his book. I have yet to see a lute with only seven strings.

Восхитительное исполнение✨

One of my favourite piece, Thank you

Such an outworldly experience, love from Turkey, Mr. Dan

I really think lute is the perfect instrument for this piece, especially with a master play such as yourself :)

Now that's what I call music 1530

Merveilleux timbre du luth , éternelle mélodie , merci pour le partage.

Beautiful! I keep replaying this over and over again...

Браво!!!

This makes me want a lute instead of a guitar.

A pleasure to listen to, you've brightened my home and heart on a cold night

This is a beautiful rendition. I love the lute!

my god this sounds amazing. But i have to ask, how long does that take to tune?

Absolutely Beautiful!! Is there anywhere I can purchase a CD of this? Thank you sir.

It's amazing to see a song referenced by Shakespeare (in the Merry Wives of Windsor) played on a lute from that time period! Really beautifully played and I enjoyed the video!

This is actually the most coolest thing I’ve seen in a while wow great job

I’d like to hear the “Turkish tambur” from you, of course if you want :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_tambur

I'm a guitar player never tried the lute

Quite a strong melody. Many thanks for this rendition.

A classic played like a master. I enjoyed the interpretation of this Daniel. Great music to listen in this lockdown! Thanks for posting this!

This is such a beautiful song and you are a very talented musician. This has such an old world charm to it, especially due to the lute.

wow this sounds really amazing! im glad that people are still playing the lute!

Beautiful Song played by you Mr. Estrem...I had a music box my grandmother gave me of that song. It is one of my favorites played by you. That was lovely..Wow

I'm Japanese, I'm using translation. I like the lute tone I learned in junior high school, especially the Green Sleeves! I am fascinated by your tone, and I support your future activities. And I will come to listen to this video again! !!

Such a beautiful piece of music played an amazing musician. it really makes me feel like I’ve travelled back in time. This cover has to be one of my favourites, respect to you my friend.

Much love from Scotland 🇬🇧

Beautiful

I love this. Also, it's amazing that you reply to every comment.

Great job!! I love this song so much ♡ the version of Cutting was the first I've heard, back in my teenager years... it is very special for me

I love medieval music, it’s so beautifully simple.

Very enjoyable and inspirative performance on this famous early music.

My favorite song of all time.
