Such a moving, tender and civilising piece of music.
As long as we have this, the lights will never go out in Europe.

[@thenorwegiansoloistschoir]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@jerryzucchero5087]

Yes, I feel this deep in my chest!

[@jillemburey3214]

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. They've done my favourite piece of music proud. So moving.🥹

[@luisivantes5799]

One of the bests. TY

There’s the original version of this piece of music, which is stunning, BUT then comes this production/version of this piece. It is absolutely angelic. I’m busy writing and planning my own funeral, and I’ve decided to put this version in it. I can feel how my body vibrates and react when I close my eyes and disconnect from my surroundings and world out there, when this music enters my body and connects with my soul. I don’t know how else to express myself. Nothing but pure peacefulness. No ego, no judgement. No nothing. Nothing, just peace ❤ 7:45

Cette musique c'est le bonheur musical absolu. Cela me réconcilie avec la vie. MERCI ET BRAVO.

L'arte la poesia la dolcezza l'incredibilita' la bravura la genialità.. IL TUTTO..L'ESTREMO..e questa armonia è la colonna sonora del film..ditelo Voi. Il problema è che i nostri SAGGI non lo vogliono tra le loro recensioni scontate manieristiche manichee e da avanspettacolo. Samuel..tutto il mio rispetto.

[@krozworld]

This is so beautifully crafted. Thank you for posting. It deserves a lot more views.

[@leticiam8804]

Yes❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-nc7nd4mt8b]

One of the most pleasing performances of this classic.

[@djb5565]

Beautiful rendition. Thank you Grete, choir and musicians....I've been listening to various pieces of music and this remains one of the most emotional pieces of all time.

Sublime magistral cautivadora impresionante melancólica desoladora GRACIAS

[@jasontiller]

Truly lovely. I knew of this arrangement but I'd never heard it. Your performance is stellar - the voices blended *so* well with the strings, it took me almost an entire verse to recognize it. Thank you for doing this and making it available for all of us to enjoy.

[@thenorwegiansoloistschoir]

Thank you so much for listening!

[@Constantius-XI]

Soft yet so powerfull....
Touches your heart and soul.
Perfect Choir and ensemble.

[@cyrillegourbil3522]

The most beautiful version of this adagio ❤

[@Bevc55]

Oh this is so very BEAUTIFUL

[@thomaseskenazi2013]

This is, so far, my favorite interpretation of this masterpiece. Many thanks for this

[@Hickeroar]

Absolutely beautiful. It has me fighting back the tears.

[@vincentthummel1267]

The first time I heard this was in the movie Simone.

[@esengersma5391]

Masterfully conducted. Brava.

Ein Geschenk, danke

[@Sserpentis]

oh, finally, this masterpiece! And luckily in Norwegian Soloist's Choir performance! 🙏🙏👍

[@fernandolehmann2113]

True definition of eargasm ... 😍

[@marciomanilla8812]

Wonderful song for my soul

[@pablocardenasdiazdeespada6584]

So very few people attending!

[@thenorwegiansoloistschoir]

That is right. The concert was held in 2020, during the pandemic, where only 100 audiences were allowed.

[@Sserpentis]

The first time I've heard "Adagio for strings" was in the computer game "Homeworld"...

[@Swatmat]

And now again in the latest trailer for homeworld 3

[@fernandolehmann2113]

Me too ... and it kindda match with the whole story and concept ... 😊

[@judex3226]

Computer game! Oh dear, that’s a shame 😳

[@Sserpentis]

[@user-nc7nd4mt8b]

Is this recording available on a CD? It deserves the best quality sound reproduction. You Tube can't give you that.

[@thenorwegiansoloistschoir]

Unfortunately not :/ Maybe sometime in the future!
