My dear auld Irish heart is for for bursting! An auburn haired fiddler creating such beauty... Aww man, its so precious it's almost a physical pain. Our culture and our music is so, sooo precious.
magnifique air de mazurka, qui me rappel que cette année il n'y aura pas de festival du son continu et cela va me manquer en espérant y aller sans faute l'année prochaine pour me ressourcer en musiques traditionnelles et ambiance folk ce que j'aime beaucoup. merci pour ce bon moment musical.
Paul & Sarah playing together on this mazurka is simply stunning & breathtaking! I've watched & enjoyed a lot of accordion videos, but this is my favorite in terns of the musicians pulling off a "perfect" performance, both individually & as a duo. They do a superb job in every respect: tone, dynamics, blending, variation, arrangement. I can watch this over & over & not tire of it!
Beautiful workmanship. I am very happy that the mazurka, a dance originating from Poland, specifically from Mazovia, where I live, is also popular in the British Isles. Greetings to the Brits.
The mazurka is also very populair here in Norway. We also got the Polish dances from the 1600 hundreds, which also was the same but named Springdans, springar, springleik, pols, polsk and in Swedish; polska - which was the background for all of these Norwegian folk dances, still in use. So Mazovian mazurka is absolutely the main influence of Norwegian folk music.
We on Ireland and Poland share so, so much it's crazy. From our fiddle and accordion music, to our catholic faith, to a history of persecution by our nearest neighbours... God save Poland.
J’adore votre interprétation! J’essaie aussi de jouer ce morceau à la Nickelharpa, mais j’ai encore des progrès à faire….Merci en tous cas pour cette belle inspiration motivante.
I keep coming back to listen to your fine rendition of this tune . I'm so fortunate to have access to your music from far Aotearoa .Ka nui te pai korua !
My grandfather and uncle used to play masurka on harmonica and fiddle nearly a hundred years ago. Their playing style was probably a bit different as I learned this from my father and uncle, as we here in Norway play this in a bit “rougher” style with more pressure on the first beat in the bar. But very nice to listen to this performance!😊
The playing is beautiful and I know this piece well. But being a dancer and accordionist of traditional music as well as being passionate about the mazurka, the rhythm of the mazurka as a dance is not there. This is something that Andy Cutting puts across so well.
One of my very favorite performances (of any song, ever!). We are learning this tune on box and fiddle and it is pure pleasure to be influenced by Paul and Sarah's timeless interpretation.
DG with extra buttons needed to play it in this key. But I play it on standard DG box in B minor. Got a video of that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2M95cuhjKtA.html
