“Many of these song arrangements are so powerful, they make you forget the original”
DE VOLKSKRANT
“Wende’s energetic Song of Yes reaches a screaming climax, and her Black Feather gets into a crackly groove, knocking and scratching on the bodies of the string instruments”
NRC HANDELSBLAD
“A turbulent love duet with a heroine”

Wat een mooie verweving van Nina Simone met haar piano en de ietwat zweverige symphonie van David Bowie.... Chapeau Wende en het A'dam Sinfonietta voor deze magistriale uitvoering!!

Copied from wiki: Wild Is the Wind is a song written by Dmitri Tjomkin and Ned Washington. The song was originally recorded by Johnny Mathis for the 1957 film Wild Is the Wind. The song was very popular and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song; Mathis sang the song at the 1958 Oscars. The Mathis version of the song was also released as a single in 1957 and reached number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Bowie was inspired by Nina Simone's version, who recorded the song twice for her 1959 albums Nina Simone at Town Hall and 1966 Wild Is the Wind. Bowie met her in Los Angeles in 1975 and was an admirer of Simone's style.
In November 1981 Bowie's version was released as a single to promote his new compilation album Changestwobowie and reached number 24 in the UK.

I came across Wende's video while searching for various performances of "Wild is the wind". Well, I could not imagine that I would find this treasure... Wende's performance with Amsterdam Sinfonietta was striking... overwhelming... I dare to say divine... The classical style orchestration made the difference compared to other versions of the song and it provided the background for Wende to put her soul in this performance. Hence I say that this is a contemporary hymn to love. Thank you Wende! Chapeau Madame!... Thank you Amsterdam Sinfonietta!
