She sings beautifully and has a great voice that navigates the complex arrangement of the low and high keys with aplomb. A stunning vocal performance that stood its stead in the face of an orchestral accompaniment.
Who is this great singer? She sounds Americans but she must be Georgian..?? Great job! Georgia is smaller than most American states, yet the culture is so strong in music and dance, I love it!
Remarkable version of this wonderful song. I love the crescendo "As sure as I believe there's a heaven above Alfie ... (then she adlibs the word) "YEAH" !! sends chills up my spine.
Un bellísimo arreglo de cuerdas, Tamara Gachechiladze canta con toda la convicción de quien conoce el sentido de la letra en inglés, la Orquesta es excelente, de lo mejor, una muy digna -memorable- interpretación.
I have never heard this lady sing before. Her version of Alfie was captivating, full of meaning. Her voice was great: one of the best versions of this marvellous song that I've ever heard. I would love to hear more of her interpretations. There are one or two criticisms in the replies here, but there's none from be. BRAVO TAKO!
One of the most complex songs to sing. There are only a few who can sing this great gem which is written by the greatest songwriting team ever, Burt Bacharach (music) and the late Hal David (lyrics). A really asthonishing song.... a song which is also infinity.
I liked the performance from the very beginning. At first I even thought a foreign singer was singing so good was the English pronunciation. Then I listened many famous singers like Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick and Chaka Khan and others. After all I returned to Tako Gachechiladze and already got convinced that Tako is the best. Only she shows the character of the song and made correct accents. Thumbs Up!
Both Whitney and Dionne Warwick knew very well every nuance and meaning of this song, obviously Burt thought so too. She does a lovely version here; it is also stunning.
Tako is the best! She dramatized the song, each gesture, facial expression, and movement on the scene says about it. Other performers sung the song also well concerning vocal, but they couldn't express the inside of the song, it's character. Their performance is inertly. Tako presented the song as a little dramatic spectacle. This song was written for her. It is her song! @@GloriaSangreal
@@tamazpatarkalashvili2811 Actually, there are some flourishes she does, that diminish the song, and there is that 'yeah' thrown in, that also imo, lowers this classic piece. Here is another lovely version: ua-cam.com/video/FgEPFkbAHAo/v-deo.htmlsi=0x3pwkWg0Ywall5S&t=2511
Cynthia Erivo has the best version already. But this one was good too. But I find the Band a little bit separated or do not match to the lady's way of singing. But that do not mean that the lady is not amazing nor the Band too.
Very very nice! Personally, I believe a softer rendition is more true. But of the many performances of this beautiful song, this is one of the nicer ones, imo. She's quite talented!
It's too bad that she had to fight the 'busy' orchestra arrangement. They really got in her way. But Tako's performance was brilliant. No surprise here ~
Indeed, way to busy. The writer of this arragement wanted to show what he can, but it turned out very different. He killed the melody and the girl needed to clean up his shit. A shame to treat such a beautiful song this way. Toots Thielemans told me: What you can tell with 3 notes, never use 4.
one more comment: the lyrics in this song (by Hal David) are among the most sophisticated of any American or British pop song, ever. I have a feeling that the lyrics and meaning of the song were lost on this audience who does not speak native English. That probably explains their fairly tepid applause. Maybe a translation into Georgian or Russian attached in the video description would help.
Who’s the singer? Bet she’s known in her country. Great job on this Burt Bacharach Hal David favorite ❤orchestra with strings arrangement is wonderful too!
I really enjoyed the singer -- very moving and interpretive. Some novel phrasing that even Dionne Warwick would admire. But I felt that the arrangement dragged a bit, and was too strings-centric. Need more woodwinds, bass, piano ... in other words more movement and rhythm. I therefore am neutral, and give it neither a Like nor Dislike.
Burt Bacharach made this song look easy. This lady makes it look and sound effortless
素晴らしい❤
I ADORE THIS WOMAN AND THAT VOICE. HER CHOICE OF SONG IS ALSO PERFECTION!
I finally gave a thumbs up after 1 year listening to this. 👍🏿
What a voice!!! And the backing of this wonderful orchestra makes this classic ballad that much more beautiful.
What a marvelous orchestra and vocalist
Wow amazing voice , never heard of her , but glad I came across this

Georgia Kavcazia!.. Bleck seas!....
@@paatapaata6882 You should write: Georgia, Caucasus, Black sea :)
Bravo! Tako Gachechiladze, very beautiful rendition of this fantastic song 💖👏👏👏
I think there should be a fan club for Tako. Prokofiev Bacharach nothing defeats her.
თქვენ საუკეთესო ქართველი მომღერალი ხართ!
Remarkable version of this wonderful song. I love the crescendo "As sure as I believe there's a heaven above Alfie ... (then she adlibs the word) "YEAH" !! sends chills up my spine.
I just stumbled upon this angel.
Wow! Just wow!!
❤❤❤❤
What a voice great arrangement strings Horns all blends together powerful voice very nice 👍
What a Voice!!!
Never heard of her but she's great
Reminds me of my late father Alfie. Beautifully sung.

Barbara Streisand is also very good

@@joseceraia Thanks for your support, Joseceraia. I'd love to have met Toots. He's among my favorite musicians.
Wow!
Wonderful !!!❤
ბრავოოოო❤️❤️❤❤
Bravo
what a beautiful arrangement.
I must respectfully disagree. Please see my comment about this.
I agree with @linwei5920, the arrangement is great@@RubyBandUSA
I love it❤
Música linda do BURT bacharach.
❤❤❤❤
Maravilha!!❤❤❤❤❤
ძალიან კარგია
I don’t know why but her voice reminds me of Whitney Houston ❤❤
Ironic that No one sang like this before Whitney or Mariah. Now EVERYONE does.
Nice rendition.
No one touches DIONNE WARWICKs version though.
Голос фантастика.

No translation! Only in original language!
Great performance! Best by
Far of this classic song not forgetting that orchestra! Conductor! Naturally talented singer!
Where is this performance taking place?? Poland 🇵🇱?
alfie. a movi. maxi roof in mini coopers. nice mov.
ciila black
No a patch on Cilla Blacks original version
I love the orchestral arrangement then Tako creates a soaring headvoice which adds an ethereal feel to the song! ❤❤❤
For beauty comes dropping slow...
We must accept size is no indication of quality. I feel the best interpretation of 'Alfie' is by Cilla Black.
london phylli orch and trijntje oosterhuis.
Who’s the singer? Bet she’s known in her country. Great job on this Burt Bacharach Hal David favorite ❤orchestra with strings arrangement is wonderful too!
As good as this is, I can’t think help thinking Cilla Black was the best ever version of this brilliant song..
xxxx nl meid
Oversang it
She is excellent but....what is that strange echo?
I really enjoyed the singer -- very moving and interpretive. Some novel phrasing that even Dionne Warwick would admire. But I felt that the arrangement dragged a bit, and was too strings-centric. Need more woodwinds, bass, piano ... in other words more movement and rhythm. I therefore am neutral, and give it neither a Like nor Dislike.
Dionne Warwick has no rival with this one.
the conductor blocks the flow of the tempo, which harms the singer's interpretation.

Catastrophic orchestra with strings out of tune, hard working vocalist does her best to keep the remaining debris together
It is a complex composition. She was not able to do It.
you don't understand anything in composition
All style, no substance. Too bad since it's a great song.
