The lack of glamour of the performer is easily compensated for by the sheer prowess of playing; wisdom of intelligence and experience, distilled over the years by hard work and the fulfillment of a vision... No other interpretation of this piece comes close: this one soars highest.
Every time I hear this, I am reminded how easy the life is despite of problems, I want to cry while smiling, I begin to think that I shall continue living, there are solutions to any problem. This piece make me to move on. :D
So, each instrument has it's own unique "voice". And each musician their own interpretation. This is amazing to me. Until a musician pointed this out, I never listened for nor had I heard it till now!
Those minor errors are hardly the most important things in a performance. The pure brilliance of her interpretation and her absolutely angelic and unique sound are much more important.
Lying lazy in the heat of the mid summer afternoon on a RAF airfield in the heart of England with the distant drone of aircraft coming and going...and then in the peace that finds itself as venturers to the clouds pass out of earshot, the piercing shrill of the sky lark rising from the long grass at the perimeter. Vaughan Williams couldn't have made it any more befitting even if he'd spent time lying on his back for a thousand english summers in a meadow. Serene.
I like her interpretation of this "Romance" for strings and orchestra. I really can't use the term better or worse than some elses' interpretation. There are nuances peculiar to each, which cannot be seperated from that performer. Personally, I like Ione Brown's "Lark" immensely
UA-cam: Even in the presence of such musical genius and sublime rendition, civility turns to just so much 'betting office' shite! 'The Lark Ascending' My introduction to the man - what a reputation classical music would have to live up to from that time on.
@ihatefitpro "what a load of nonsense and tosh"...I was not referring to Vaughan Williams past. I was actually referring to how it connected to my own life. The piece of music merely was a soundtrack to my own memories...as I'm sure many can empathise with. Music is not just a factual entity where people such as yourself have to make abrupt, hostile and needless comments about other people views.
@194jerry A piece of information for you i) RVW has nothing to do with the RAF (it IS "nonsense and tosh" and didn't compose music for it. ii) He actually served in the Army. Don't put a romantic spin on it please - he wasn't a 'deep lover' of the countryside. We all like going for a walk in the country, who doesn't? In fact RVM was into Morris Dancing and English folk music and hence the somewhat over use of Violins in his compositions.
Alright I will admit she can play this better than I can, but there were some major flaws - too sharp and not time in some section her top notes too sharp! but nice
Umm... yeah, LOTS of intonation errors. And the line is broken up too many times for my own personal taste. You guys know this lady is the wife of the conductor, right... ha ha...

PizzatheHutt I still like this comment
I think this piece has single-handedly revived my love for the violin.

Hauntingly beautiful.

Bellissimo ed emozionante! Grazie.
Gorgeous, I came across this by the name alone... and wow, beautiful.
WOW! What a great LIVE performance. And the soloist: Exceptional.
Her use of the bow for the gorgeous phrasing is unmatched! Bravo 👏🏼
so beautiful
beautiful
Outstanding in every way!
The very first classical piece I ever heard I'm my 49th year. The most beautiful thing I had ever experienced. Beyond beauty. 🎻🎶💖
Wow - I'm crying!
meravigliosa!!
It is this thing that makes I feel. A deep and strong emotion tightened my heart. Impression stabbed deep inside the soul.
Una maravilla !!!, me la pongo veces y veces para abrir el corazón y mejorar mi asma. Gracias.
@dpruett4 Love the note at 6.49 too :) Great piece, great performance.
Bellisimo y una pieza q no me canso de escuchar!! Es impresionante, mágica.

Vaughan Williams' genius.

If there is a more beautiful piece of music, I have not heard it. The notes at 2:47 and again at 2:58 punctuate the magnificance of this piece.
Beautiful clip! All the more poignant knowing M. Turovsky died in March 2012. Her husband, the conductor here, died earlier this year.

Yes....it is.
I don't think I've ever considered what music might actually be playing in Heaven until now.
tempo perfecto
@ihatefitpro
He composed a new anthem for the unveiling of the Battle of Britain memorial chapel in the Abbey in 1947

@ihatefitpro
why can't you edit these things...that's meant to say Westmister Abbey, where the great man lies to this day...

i came at 4:33
someone got fired at 6:49

@scott18pressed what a load of nonsense and tosh.
It's nice but I love Nicolas bendetti and Janine jenson better
