One of the very best humans ever- talented and humble she lives the life she has chosen , without the false ego getting stroked. A wise soul who is the very best who lives quietly so that she can have a great career and a great life without all the BS that can go with it .
This song belongs to Linda Eder !!! No other singer should ever even attempt to sing it ! Linda's voice is the most gorgeous voice I've ever heard. I've been lucky enough to see Linda live many many times starting back in 1996. She is as amazing now as she was back then and always so gracious and kind to talk with. A gorgeous lady with a gorgeous voice !
The arrangement and performance of this is so wonderful. She sings the chorus 3 times, and each time it's completely different emotionally. First, she's almost hesitant, like she's not sure if she really wants to remember such a beautiful moment. The next time, it's strong and clear, and she's letting us know that it's not bittersweet- it's full of love. And then the last time, after the buildup of the choir, it's like a clarion call. And yet, she completely pulls back for the last line, "It was the best time of my life..." Because this song is not about the power notes, it's about the emotional connection. Brava.
Not only was Linda's voice in top form (as usual) but did anybody else happen to notice her husband's reaction when she hit that grand note that she hit???!!! It was precious seeing how excited he got. The way he looked at her. It was just beautiful!
Millicent Jones that's actually not her husband but her accompanist after her divorce from Frank Wildhorn. I have seen her live 4 or five times now and she is truly incredible. What a gift.
@TomFritzch Have you seen her tour with guitarist Peter Calo? I love Linda's orchestra-backed belting, but she can really get down with a guitar, too! Peter Calo is an amazing musician, singer....she attracts great people to be in concert with her.
Often compared with Barbra Steisand.....but for me, Linda Eder beats her on every front. Linda tops my list of best singers and my very short list of top 3 singers I MUST SEE LIVE. I saw her, met her...she's a genuinely warm human being, gracious, happy & funny. Treats her fans amazingly well.
This woman has the best technique i have ever heard. Superior to Celine and Whitney, yet she isn't as famous. She is quite possibly one of the best female vocalists that has ever existed.
@katie @horatio --- she tops my list of 3 singers that I MUST SEE LIVE. And I have. Great concert! A really warm and genuine human being.....got to meet her after the show (she's very generous with her audiences). In these days of mechanically created "singing stars" she has the voice...never AutoTuned.... My #2 on the list (about 20 years younger than Linda) had a terrific show and when I met her, I told her she was my second favorite singer---and she asked "so who is FIRST?" When I told her Linda Eder, a moment of surprise crept across her face, and she said "I'LL TAKE THAT!"
Linda Eder represents,to me, the very best of what a singer is meant to do. The thrill of her voice, the arrangement, & her connection w/song send me every time! Thank you Linda Eder for sharing your talent w/the world. We are all better now! ❤️❤️❤️
I remember when I was introduced to this song and Linda for the first time. It was my first Cruise Ship contract as a performer and I listened to this in my cabin whenever I missed home.
@@ceecee8757 Nope, the pianist in this was her then-musical director, Jeremy Roberts. She was married to the song’s composer, Frank Wildhorn, but they’ve since divorced.
Everybody has said it all she is one of the best singers I have ever ever enjoyed listening to. I had the pleasure of meeting her once and speaking to her and telling her how much joy she has given to so many people and of course to me thank you Linda Eder so very much
She has a great voice, but we have others too.. As Mahalia Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and even some others. "Great voice ever", is very relative and enthusiastic.
@@ERIKEFU you do have a point and tastes differ....but I'll put it this way: whose recordings do I play most often? Whose recordings do I have the most of? Whose recordings are my go-to favored choice? I choose Linda Eder, notwithstanding other voices I greatly enjoy. Oh, I'd suggest you not get married, Erik. You have to pick ONE who is the greatest. You have to let someone carry you away.
@@ERIKEFU Holy cow. Great voice, yes. But Aretha? She just annoyingly yells and screams, Whitney, yes, Mariah, no depth (or power), and I am so tired of her "five octave voice!" She's lucky if she has one octave. The rest is falsetto and again, no depth. Listen to the best voices that have ever been or ever will be: Dame Shirley Bassey, Mme Ginette Reno, Donna Summer (Listen to her Christmas album or the first Live And More CDs), Vikki Carr, Phyllis Hyman (different kind of voice, but a God-given gift, unlike others) etc. These vocalists are one-of-a-kind. Mind-boggling power, vocal skills, one-of-a-kind style, amazing talent to sing in many languages with the same conviction and style....I could go on for days. Just my two cents.
At 1:28, 2:35 and 4:15 - Lump in throat, goosebumps, and my eyes welled up - EACH TIME. I saw Linda sing this last night at her concert in Palm Beach. No one told me to bring a box of Kleenex! I teared up during Bring Him Home, too. Like another fan said - PURE MAGNIFICENCE! How lucky we all are to be witness to such a gift.
My great friend I lost some years ago. Before his death I came upon Vienna it reminded me of our relationship ago that ended, years after he died. I will always want to be taken back with you Steven, my friend,my love, my soul...sunny I would kiss your lips a million years, we could
Every time I come accross Linda in any video I feel like I've just fallen in love with her again, and it is a such a beautiful feeling that I want to repeat it over and over again. . . Love you, Linda, I really do. You are the best, the absolute best singer I would love to listen to the moment I depart to Our Father.
first heard her in a ritzy bar in downtown boston as a lounge singer and she took our breath away. can you imagine her paired with a groban or a barbra or a dion? what a duet, what a voice, what a person.
Watching the rain fall in Vienna Pictures of another time From the corner of a small cafe We watched the world go by Now we sit here the best of strangers We played the game for all it's worth Endless nights in Vienna's eyes Take me back again 'Cause in Vienna- we were poetry Yes, in Vienna- love was alive Watching you watching me All that our eyes could see All of the nights We chased into the dawn It was the best time of my life We can't surrender to a feeling That dance belongs to yesterday Yet, I still hear Vienna's song Take me back again 'Cause in Vienna- we were poetry Yes, in Vienna- love was alive Watching you watching me All that our eyes could see All of the nights We chased into the dawn It was the best time of my life 'Cause in Vienna- we were poetry Yes, in Vienna- love was alive Watching you watching me All that our eyes could see All of the nights We chased into the dawn It was the best time of my life
I have had the pleasure of seeing Linda sing live 4 times now and she is by far my favorite singer!! It's so rare that you see someone live and they sound as good as on cd.
The voice of an angel. Delivery is perfect, such an understated talent. I have listened to her for many years in the UK and never been disappointed even if I havn't heard the song she was performing before. Converted my wife close to 30 years ago and just in the last 2 months discovered that my 24 year old son knows and loves her work, he did not get it from me, obviously in the genes.
I was fortunate to see Linda in Jekyll & Hyde on B'way, twice, and in concert three times. She's beyond amazing. I'd pay top dollar to hear her sing the damn telephone book!!!
I’m sorry but I can’t get over this unbelievable voice! I must have listened to this piece a hundred times and I have chills running down my spine! Love you Linda!
I have seen Linda live 5 times. I ran into her, and 2 of her team, in a restaurant right after a concert in Chicago - the second time I saw her live. Though no doubt hungry and tired, she chatted with me and the group I was with. Besides having one of the best voices in America, perhaps the world, she was approachable and genuine, definitely not a diva. If you've not heard her "I Don't Know How to Say Good-bye, " catch it on RUclips. One of the most thought-provoking and tender songs you'll ever find: a masterpiece!
An Air Force friend (TonySarsorito) is a friend of Linda Eder and when we finally got to meet up again after many years he had played Linda’s song ( Vienna) I was floored ! This women is unbelievable! What an incredible voice! She’s my new favorite vocal!
I'm watching/listening to this again.......the Grammys are on; sadly, there aren't too many really good singers today....some, but not many and certainly no one can hold a candle to Linda Eder.🤩
I saw Judy Garland in concert twice, the first time was three months after Carnegie Hall, and I saw Barbra twice, once at the Blue Angel when she was 21. Linda Eder has more gifts vocally than either of them. Her instrument is so rare and fine. Judy and Barbra are very special, so was Whitney Houston, but listening to Linda Eder I'm aware she can do things with her voice the others probably only wished they could. I also think she is emotionally deeper than they were, in a quieter way.
OH my God!, Linda, you hit that note beyond out of the ball park ... and I could see on your face that you knew it .. one of those times when they say .. "yes, we can put that one to rest now . It's been played to perfection. " ... it's about time there was a grand recording of this amazing romance song here on RUclips .. your voice opens up like nobody elses ... play this again and again ..
Love this song and she sings it so beautifully. My daughters used this song for a dance they were in when they were young, they loved the song so much. I also get a kick out of her piano player, he really gets into the music.
This is my absolute favorite of yours! I didn't even know who you were and I saw you perform this with the Boston Pops on the 4th of July in I think 2001. I went out and bought your CD with this on it. I've been a fan ever since!
Every so often one of those very rare, special and one-of-a-kind people come along. I first became aware of Linda from her performance at the 1998 "Women Of Broadway" concert at Carnegie Hall. First of all, I was floored by her range and power and then the flawless quality of her voice. Then there is that magical charisma she brings on with her as she owns the stage and immediately draws you in, taking you on a journey with her with each song. Finally, she made a powerful impact on me as one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. On an ego level, people like this often can't take in the full impact they have on others as they serve as channels for something larger coming through them.
When you were a child, perhaps questioning "what if" or "how can I"? You.. DID! Possibly exacting a certain toll on your life, yet Linda... You changed the world sharing your incredible gift as well as your life with all of us. All of us that simply DID NOT. You remain and will forever be my go to, when life seems impossible. I thank you for that.
I think she really is the only performer that is truly better live. It's almost as if audio recording, with all the technology behind it, cannot capture her voice. She's so remarkable.
I wonder why she didn't make it big mainstream. She is so underrated! I love her and her voice. She's beautiful but aside from that, her voice is undeniably on par with the likes of Mariah, Celine, Whitney as well as Lara Fabian and Sarah Brightman!
Goodness, she's amazing. My mom kept her CD in our Suburban growing up Long with Nickel Creek, Alison Krauss, The Judds etc. Everything good. Takes me back.
I just cried...this was so beautifully sang..can it get any better than this I'll surely drop out of breath. She's a force I cannot totally explain. I've never been moved to greater heights listening to any other song. God bless the talent she has been given. Love her rendition of What I Did For Love. Just as awesome and moving as this one.
I saw her in concert at Feinstein's 54 Below in September and she performed this song and it was probably the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed. I was torn between sobbing and grinning like a fool the entire concert. I don't know how she has such a powerful voice and such a range! A voice like hers is so rare, and it aged like the finest wine.
This is my favourite song. Your voice and the words make you believe and view the beauty of the world instead of its darker side! This song is enchanting to me.
One of the very best humans ever- talented and humble she lives the life she has chosen , without the false ego getting stroked. A wise soul who is the very best who lives quietly so that she can have a great career and a great life without all the BS that can go with it .

The arrangement and performance of this is so wonderful. She sings the chorus 3 times, and each time it's completely different emotionally.

So true
such a great analysis
I want to relive this best time of my life!!! Time ⌚ take thy flight !!!!!
A beautiful analysis. I never thought to put it all in words as you have, so I thank you.
Beautiful critique, I must say ❤
Wow, she out "Linda Eder"-ed herself with this performance!! I never tire of hearing this voice and this song especially!
I love how she turns from the mic and looks at the Choir as they have their moment. What a wonderful woman and a powerful voice.
One of the best voices in my lifetime. Magnificent.
It was the best time of her life and the best song/ performance I’ve ever heard in my life (77 years)
An underated American singer. Vienna is one of my favorite of her songs.
Not only was Linda's voice in top form (as usual) but did anybody else happen to notice her husband's reaction when she hit that grand note that she hit???!!! It was precious seeing how excited he got. The way he looked at her. It was just beautiful!

SECOND TO NONE....THAT'S LINDA EDER'S VOICE! WOW - NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I WATCH/LISTEN TO THIS, I THRILL TO THE BEAUTY OF THIS LADY'S VOICE.
She's just stunning, so underrated, such a powerful voice
Often compared with Barbra Steisand.....but for me, Linda Eder beats her on every front. Linda tops my list of best singers and my very short list of top 3 singers I MUST SEE LIVE. I saw her, met her...she's a genuinely warm human being, gracious, happy & funny. Treats her fans amazingly well.
Mister Moonshadow I agree, been to 4 of her concerts, incredible talent, beautiful voice, beautiful warm kind lady
@@mistermoonshadow9188 No way. Linda is fantastic is no doubt, but relisten to Barbra in her prime. Linda doesn't touch her.
one of those songs, musical performance and singing that transcends. a masterpiece!
She's the best at casually killing it!! I always come back to this performance.
Linda is so underrated. Her voice is phenomenal! And the band and choir were amazing
She should be much more famous than she is...
I think she is referred to as "the Reluctant Diva"...
@@BamaFan-vc4gn but why?
Humbleness...
I think so as well. In my opinion, she puts Babbs Strysandyvoice to shame....
This woman has the best technique i have ever heard. Superior to Celine and Whitney, yet she isn't as famous. She is quite possibly one of the best female vocalists that has ever existed.
This song exactly says what I was feeling when I was in Vienna again and again. This place is my Utopia.
She is the real deal, the stuff of legends. Every song that she touches turns to gold on stage. One of the best singers ever.
Hands down the best singer in the entire world!
Yes! The very best. I love her what an amazing talent!
@katie @horatio --- she tops my list of 3 singers that I MUST SEE LIVE. And I have. Great concert!

My daughters had this song for one of their competition dances when they were teenagers, it is so beautiful.
Wow what an interesting job that must be!
This song was my childhood. Grew up with it. Mom played it all the time. One of my most memorable, favorite songs. Love Linda.
+Julie Zwyer mine too. :)
I was wrong-------THIS is the BEST version of Vienna!!
Linda will always own this song. It's hers. It will always be hers.
incredible song, incredible sonic force. What an arrangement, and LInda Eder shines like the north star.
i like Linda Eder so much......After All this time is my favorite
'been a fan of Linda Eder since Star Search.... her voice is such a gift to this world! this is so the best!
The pianist looks so enthusiastic at 4:15! What a great performance by all. Linda Eder is so amazing
I think that was her husband then. They're divorced now.
@@ceecee8757 Nope, the pianist in this was her then-musical director, Jeremy Roberts. She was married to the song’s composer, Frank Wildhorn, but they’ve since divorced.
probably the best voice ever * Ms. Linda Eder * she holds notes like no other. Her breath control is unbelievable. Wow!!

One of the best vocalists of our time!
well, @baxbi, I upvoted you anyway...but I'd go with "of ALL time"....name a better one if you can (NOT!!! ha ha)
THE BEST!!!!!
Whitney Houston!!!

Watching the rain fall in Vienna
Pictures of another time
From the corner of a small cafe
We watched the world go by
Now we sit here the best of strangers
We played the game for all it's worth
Endless nights in Vienna's eyes
Take me back again
'Cause in Vienna- we were poetry
Yes, in Vienna- love was alive
Watching you watching me
All that our eyes could see
All of the nights
We chased into the dawn
It was the best time of my life
We can't surrender to a feeling
That dance belongs to yesterday
Yet, I still hear Vienna's song
Take me back again 'Cause in Vienna- we were poetry
Yes, in Vienna- love was alive
Watching you watching me
All that our eyes could see
All of the nights
We chased into the dawn
It was the best time of my life
'Cause in Vienna- we were poetry
Yes, in Vienna- love was alive
Watching you watching me
All that our eyes could see
All of the nights
We chased into the dawn
It was the best time of my life

I am from Vienna, and Linda and Billy Joel Songs the best Songs about Vienna 💕
Absolutely the best rendition of this song ever.
no one sings this song "Vienna" like Linda does. In fact no one at all can sing as beautifully as she does. PURE MAGNIFICENCE.
It actually makes me want to visit Vienna!
@@taylormorgan9208 It makes me want to attend another Linda Eder concert...........it's been too many years since my last one.
It was written FOR her. And it's about her.
I was fortunate to see Linda in Jekyll & Hyde on B'way, twice, and in concert three times. She's beyond amazing. I'd pay top dollar to hear her sing the damn telephone book!!!

Every time I listen to this song, she gives me chills! Your library of music is incredible Linda!
An Air Force friend (TonySarsorito) is a friend of Linda Eder and when we finally got to meet up again after many years he had played Linda’s song ( Vienna) I was floored ! This women is unbelievable! What an incredible voice! She’s my new favorite vocal!
I love the city.. and the song. And I love exploring the city listening to this song. Should be on everyone's bucket list.
This is my all time favorite Billy Joel song. I had the fortune of seeing Linda ast Symphony Hall in Boston.
I'm watching/listening to this again.......the Grammys are on; sadly, there aren't too many really good singers today....some, but not many and certainly no one can hold a candle to Linda Eder.🤩
Broadway must hire her again, her voice carries me to a field of wonder, full of it; endless. I honestly love her......:-)
I swear I got chills on the first note.😱
That voice. My God it's like an angel
The voice of an angel. What a miraculous singing voice!
Ive seen a lot of her performances of this song and this, to me, is the very very best
completely agree

I can do this but I need a professional to check if I am doing it correctly.
Oh my god this woman is amazing
I DID NOT IMAGINE BEFORE THAT THIS SONG COULD BE SO WONDERFUL. WONDERFUL SINGER.
Love this song and she sings it so beautifully. My daughters used this song for a dance they were in when they were young, they loved the song so much. I also get a kick out of her piano player, he really gets into the music.
The pianist was her then husband. I thought it was cute too how much he was getting into it and beaming with pride at her talent.
My God! Everything about her is beautiful.

Everytime I hear this song.. I would really like to go to Austria.😉 this song really take me there.
You had me at "Watching you watching me".
When you were a child, perhaps questioning "what if" or "how can I"? You.. DID! Possibly exacting a certain toll on your life, yet Linda... You changed the world sharing your incredible gift as well as your life with all of us. All of us that simply DID NOT. You remain and will forever be my go to, when life seems impossible. I thank you for that.
Oh, songstress supreme, you stir the soul and bring the heart to fullness, near breaching with joy.
This is my favourite comment thread, people who can truly appreciate things
She's on perfect pitch whether belting out a phrase or whispering it.... and her breath control is as perfect as can be...
Just so beautiful.
Love this song, was fortunate to hear her sing it live years ago.
Unbelievable! Your an incredible women! God Bless!
People born with pipes like that are so lucky.
Jesus; can it ever get better than that?
I am blown away every time I watch/listen to this. just too fantastic for words.
Goosebumps and tears. Love her.
I think she really is the only performer that is truly better live. It's almost as if audio recording, with all the technology behind it, cannot capture her voice. She's so remarkable.
saw her last night in Palm Desert. Totally agree.
Thomas Walker but the recording equipment on stage can?
No! It can't. You must see her in person to fully experience it.
+Thomas Walker . Hello Thomas. I both see and hear what you mean.
I wish I could attend one, just one of her performances- It would be a dream come true.
OMG.............THERE'S NO ONE ELSE WHO CAN HIT THOSE NOTES, AND HOLD THEM. MS. EDER, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Check out her Edelweiss. It's unbelievable.
I wonder why she didn't make it big mainstream. She is so underrated! I love her and her voice. She's beautiful but aside from that, her voice is undeniably on par with the likes of Mariah, Celine, Whitney as well as Lara Fabian and Sarah Brightman!
I think I'm in love .
Absolutely beautiful song!! A favourite for sure.
Just as good live! Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice, class, and style with Oklahoma. We loved it. Please come back soon
It's Wow.. What a stupendous performance!!!
I love love love this song!! Linda your the best!! Your performance is stunningly done!! I never get tired of listening and watching you sing!!
I could listen to Linda sing all day.....the best voice ever!
I get goosebumps every time. Miss Eder (and the song her then husband wrote for her) is simply stunning.
gave me chills
Linda your incredible! Thank you Tony for introducing her music and talent to me!
I wish I was old enough to see her 1999 concert. Ah, why do bad things happen to good people? :)
Goodness, she's amazing. My mom kept her CD in our Suburban growing up Long with Nickel Creek, Alison Krauss, The Judds etc. Everything good. Takes me back.
This song is my favourite. The touch of beauty and melancholy it has hit just right for me.
Omgg i loved this song bc Doug Caldwell danced to it ! It changed my life . Perfection
Again, I must say Linda Eder's voice is phenomenal..WOW!🎹🤩🎼
WOW wow wow. One of my favorites by you ❤
Love love love. Perfection.
I just cried...this was so beautifully sang..can it get any better than this I'll surely drop out of breath. She's a force I cannot totally explain. I've never been moved to greater heights listening to any other song. God bless the talent she has been given.
Love her rendition of What I Did For Love. Just as awesome and moving as this one.
I saw her in concert at Feinstein's 54 Below in September and she performed this song and it was probably the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed. I was torn between sobbing and grinning like a fool the entire concert. I don't know how she has such a powerful voice and such a range! A voice like hers is so rare, and it aged like the finest wine.
Hello Everyone who has visited my channel, listened to this song, and left such lovely comments. I am humbled.
This is my favourite song. Your voice and the words make you believe and view the beauty of the world instead of its darker side! This song is enchanting to me.
