When the orchestra begins, it's paradise

Tumši laiki .

It might be my Lithuanian/Baltic blood that makes me so in love with Vask's music. Sol Gabetta perfomance is so beautiful. She makes the cello cry softly.

السلام عليكم

Bello, davvero bello!!! Actually this hymn touches the soul!! Moreover I have to express my wholehearted thanks to "You Tube" since we are allowed by this company to know a composition which otherwise only a few people would have ever heard...

impressive, touches the soul

Bravo!

B😮😢

It is a shame that Peteris Vasks remains a relatively unknown composer. However, the same is true for several of the greatest composers. Perhaps someday he will become well-known and highly respected.

The gentleman in the video who is clearly very moved, is the composer himself.

❤️🇱🇻🙏🙏🙏

Cenário no interior da Igreja, lindo. Acústica perfeita!! Uma apresentação memorável da obra litúrgica de Vasks. EMOCIONANTE!!!!

Vasks tem a religiosidade musical maravilhosa de Arvo Pärt e o coral apresenta-nos a sintonia perfeita com a Sinfonietta Riga. Parabéns.

Visu cieņu. Skaisti, interesanti un iedvesmojoši!

Jauki, tik priekš raidījuma būtu bijis vērtīgāk, ja dārza īpašnieki paši būtu veidojuši savu skaisto dārziņu nevis profesionāls dārznieks. Ir jau glīti... un par naudu var daudz ko. Paldies Ilmai par rožu padomiem! Cilvēks savā vietā.

Pal dies!

Loti skaisti!ka sauca darza veidotaju?

Absolutely the finest of composers in this era.

🎉🎉🎉🎉

Lietuva❤❤❤ Latvia москалей домой в мордор-сверхдержаву!!!

Very beautiful and excellent

He is a perfect gentleman

It's not inaccurate to say that I love the presence and musicality of Sol Gabetta! Her every glance and movement are furtherance of the piece! After watching so many of her You Tube performances, I realize that I have suppressed my OWN breathing until she opens her eyes and takes a deep breath at the end of the performance! Bless this unique gift to the world!

Oh, my lord, so touched my heart

la musique de Vasks n'est pas géniale mais donne bien du plaisir d'écoute, quoi exiger de plus?..

Peteris, how did you write this without fainting, Sol, how did you play it? It brings me to my knees.....

Can anyone tell me who the performers are. They are all brilliant.

Bravo bravissimo Maestro Normunds Šnē. So sensitive and intensity and just like paintig a big pictures. Super profesional.

Great personality Sol Gabetta. Great cellist. Thank God so much for this video. For this passion and timing is everything. Super talented and togetherness.

Who is condacter? Witch orchestra?

Paldies, par dārziem, par padomiem..!! 🤗 Bet, ja video fonā ielikt lieks "muzikāls" 🙉troksnis, tad vairs klausīties negribās. ☹️

why do they keep showing the composer ? it seems uncomfortable

Amazing....

kā jūs aplaistat? ar smidzinātāju?

There are some passages, mostly the slow lyrical ones that remind Barber's Adagio for strings. So beautiful. Sol is phenomenal.

What's the repertoire? I am enjoying some of this a lot.

Est ce que le gel prontosan et bon pour un ulsaire de variss

What a beautiful...

Bravo, great film here and THANK YOU for the English subs.

Sol Gabetta joue si bien que chaque fois que je l'entends je me demande si ce n'est pas en rêve ! :)

Paradīze........!!! 🤗👏🌳🌲🌸Brīnišķīgi.....! 🙏

Un ruskij mir - atklājās - tāds kāds nu ir ...

una musica veramente "nuova"-

Super jaunieši nevis baltrocīši

Gabetta is noted as a soloist who is most at ease playing alongside with other soloist standard musicians so Vasks was on a high risk project when he composed this phenomenal concerto for such a reticent artist. The soloist is even more exposed at the beginning and end than Elgar risked with Harrison and the percussive bars on open strings must be tortuous, then we see the sun side of Sol when the (albeit spare) orchestra joins in. As if that wasn't enough Vasks asked her to sing a part of a Latvian folk tune as well but I guess that he and the great 'cellist agreed that it naturally flowed from the flow of the music. What is curious is that the tune could pass for an Iberian one. Standing away from the unique performance we have here with the composer seeming like a grandfather, does this second concerto stand up as music likely to enter the repertoire? I think YES because it is just so musical to anyone with ears despite some of the dissonance Vasks looks back to here from his earlier years. In this century we should be used to dissonance -- just as Vivaldi expected his audiences to be (especially in the 'cello concerti). Vasks also makes the work seem more like concerto grosso in parts unlike his 1st 'cello concerto. No 2 is harder work all round but more 'of humans' in nature than a lot of his pieces which are more removed from human beings all sharing a time and place together. It is packed with human physicality and frailty within the context of the drum beats of time and the universe and I fancy that we hear those beats at the opening of this astonishing work.
