Spiegel im Spiegel // Piano and Cello (Arvo Pärt) 

This is arguably the thousandth time for me and I'm in tears

This is proof that you don't need grand sweeping epic pieces written for a 100+ instrument orchestra to move the spirit. Sometimes elegance does it too. And sometimes it does it better.

I played this at my grandma's funeral 10 years ago. The other day my wife and I were watching the good place series finale and the song came on. My wife didn't know me back then so she was confused when I broke down crying.

Far and away the most elegant version, just as it was intended to be performed. Perfecto!

The piano and cello dancing togeather in perfect simplicity

I love this so much that I'm playing this clip about every second day. It's so beautiful it almost makes me cry. Possibly the most beautiful music I've ever heard. I can't believe it's 9 mins long - it only feels like about 3 mins!

It is simply lovely to watch such skillful camera work. It adds so much elegance to the music. Lovely.

this is the most beautiful song i have heard in the last years...

Linda execução e filmagem, vídeo de altíssima qualidade!! Parabéns! Que seja de incentivo para nós executarmos mais as músicas de Arvo Part.

Beautiful. I see that this performance was recorded years ago-I hope you’ve both gone on to have great careers! Bravi!

This is the music of the soul. Each note resonating in its fullest sense. One can't do complete justice by describing into words the dormant feelings/sensations awaken deep within. Absolutely amazing Maestro Arvo.

"como la gota mas pura caída del cielo..."

Begins at 00:28.

This performance makes me calm..

Una carezza dell'anima.....wonderfull!!!!!

If this doesn't bring tears to your eyes you must have a brick for a heart ❗

O que vocês fizeram aqui é maravilhoso. É tão, tão belo!

This is just so wonderful. I never tire of listening to it!

Sublime interpretação.♡

Muy bella interpretación!

Exquisite, thank you.

Pause, 10 minutes ... music distilled from the tears of the soul ... Nicola Benedetti plays an equally exquisite piece on violin - youtube

This is by far the best version of this that I have ever heard. Simply wonderful!

Wit, calm moments [crying]

Never heard it with cello, it's so beautiful !! Thank you !

Either the cellist is playing sharp or the piano is tuned slightly flat in a somewhat disheartening manner. However, when you focus on this, the distinction between what you hear and what you think leads you to contemplate the intonation difference between the cello and the piano when you hear a sharp or flat note. Crescendos on the piano consistently elevate the notes the pianist plays towards a slightly sharper tone. This issue is not related to the pianist. It's just like a rule. With the cellist, there's an observable tendency to ascend towards sharpness whenever a scale is played ascending. By not meticulously notating every nuance in the score, the composer gracefully leaves certain decisions to the musician. My slight perception of flatness in the piano and the cello's tendency towards sharpness in its resonance might stem from a resemblance not to the depth of the performance but to the simplicity of my personal story. Or the piano's flatness reflects the position from which I perceive myself as if the cello would seek to fill in the composition as masterfully as possible. Yet, in this piece, the cellist has conveyed a thought-provoking emotional state through her vibratos. Thanks to Ana Cláudia Serrão and Filipe Melo!

Best interpretation ever. I love it! Thanks for this.

Perfect version! Pure beauty.

the best version ever!

Mais uma belíssima interpretação! Do Brasil, mais uma gratificação.

Wonderful ❤️

beautiful. but a bit too fast, the character should be meditative according to the composer, if you rush it that is lost

Simply perfect!!

Belíssima! composição e interpretação. .

Beautiful renditions. I found the intentional interpretative increase in tempo to be very interesting. Very good.

Well, this is rather good

Pretty impressive that they played this from memory. I played this with a cello player and they lost focus and got a little lost in the music as it was. :)

Me inspira una escena de reencuentro, sinceridad, calma, transparencia, miradas limpias, sanas... Almas que no se olvidan la una a la otra aún sabiendo que hicieron lo correcto.

This is the only version I've heard where the tempo increases. Compare 2:03 to 8:15.

Maravilhosíssimo! Bravo!

Magnifique version ( la Chambre des officiers ) difficile ce film!!!!

Excelente, parabéns :)

Hello, thank you for your comment! The tempo change in the middle was an deliberate option that was discussed before the recording. As a mirrored mirror reflects infinitely smaller reflections.. :)

One of the most amazing versions 🤗

The more I listen to this the more I like it! Wonderful!

so much dedication and concentration..i love it. i made a remix of this song...added some more instruments if anyone want to listen..Arvo Part - Spiegel Im Spiegel Remix - Electronic Chill Orchestral Remix

Clean and beautiful.

The more I listen to this, the more I like it! :)

Beautiful playing both. 👏👏 Beginning tempo was great.

Gostava que alguém comentasse: Esta composição parece-me "demasiado" idêntica a «Sunrise on a Clear Day» de Ezio Bosso. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ch5I3MIdakI.html ou vice-versa...

SYTYCD brought me here. Jasmine amd Fikshun's contemporay dance choreographed by Travis Wall. such a beautiful piece i had to find a full version of the musical composition, Hauntingly beautiful!

Un merveilleux pianiste et une superbe musique!!!!

This seems to be a beautiful and soft piece but difficult to play.

yes a wonderful piece, the depth of the cello offsets the timbre of the piano, my favourite at the end of the day, (the piano does seem to be in a hurry in the middle)

Bela interpretação, suave, tranquila, de certa forma até comovente e inspiradora nestes tempos tristes de pandemia.

Volo sulle ali di un sogno. Grazie🌹❤🪁

'About Time' brought me here :)

Cierta música actúa en nuestro ser como un analgésico natural y no tiene daño colateral alguno.

BRAVO! BRAVÍSSIMO!

Just beautiful.

☮️

This piece needs no vibrato.

No words

Какой же оргазм для ушей.

So beautiful ❤

My only criticism is the use of vibrato in the cello part, and only because Pärt wrote in his tintinnabulum style (bell-like style) across all his works, especially this one. But I don't give a dash about Pärt's principles right now because this is beautiful. Such control in both the piano and cello parts…

SO Beautiful.

adoro!

Gerry (Gus Van Sant) trouxe-me aqui...

Perambular pelo You Tube é o mesmo que pescar. De vez em quando, somos premiados com um peixe grande e dourado. Acabei de fisgar um. Não conhecia nada de Arvo Part. Grata surpresa!!! Excelentes instrumentistas! Parabéns! Eternamente grato!!

Einfach schön ❤

Magnífico! Bravo!

Breath taking.

Queridos, Independentemente das críticas mais severas, sigam em frente. Talvez não imaginam o longo caminho já percorrido.

Thumb up and inscribed

Música e interpretação maravilhosas . Muito obrigado.

Very very beautiful

beutifull way to played, it is amazings song, i used when i practice thai chi because it help to concentration and keep the mind calm, thanks best regards

Que vois-tu dans ton miroir ? Que vois-tu de tes yeux noirs ? Une fois t'apercevoir. Te crier mon désespoir, Toi au matin, moi au soir. (J. de Blaize - 1995) What do you see in your mirror ? What do you see in black eyes ? Once you see. Cry to you my despair, You in the morning, my evening. (Jean de Blaize - 1995) Was siehst du in deinem spiegel ? Was siehst du von dienen schwarzen Augen ? Sobald du es siehst. Schreie meine Verzweiflung, Du am morgen, isch am Abend. (Jean de Blaize - 1995)

Nossa, incrível!! Melhor que algumas versões estrangeiras aqui do RU-vid!

una realidad que me fascina, MAGNIFICA!

beautiful

perfection.

Sublime

Simples e profunda, essa peça desperta em mim sentimentos um tanto estanhos, me faz contemplar os mistérios da vida.

quizá sea demasiado pero al minuto 4:50 cuando escucho ese tono del piano y el cello sube me lleno de alegría con esta melodia tan triste la siento que me parece totalmente hermosa y mis ojos se me llenaron de agua en ese minuto, gracias al quien la hizo y pude escucharla

This is so beautiful. Thank you

Completamente fantástico. Parabéns pelo empenho e pela produção!

♥... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ...♥

I don't think the tempo change subtracts from it at all. Thanks for the video.

MARAVILLOSO

Que pieza tan bella y complicada.

🎆

Simplesmente fantástico, um presente para alma =D
