Thank goodness the Shawshank Redemption exposed a lot of people who never would have heard this glorious Aria. And thank you Mr. Mozart, who was clearly touched by the hand of God!

Hi. I really love this movie and most of all I learned to listen to opera. You are completely right with your comment!! Just wanted to tell you. Greatings from Austria
This is hauntingly beautiful. Last week I played this in my 5th Grade classroom during sustained silent reading - and when time was up - none of the kids wanted me to turn it off. This amazing singing has the power to transform and to transport people. It lifts me and makes me want to be a better man!!
Good on you playing it for the children. This is what they should be playing in prisons over the loudspeakers to calm the men down and put them back in touch with their humanity.
See if you and your other white bros who, as the one group in America, support that Traitor in our WH by a majority. What is wrong with white men? Hmm? Love listening to this woman sing, but then hate women & love sexism and misogyny. Hypocrites!
wolfang siempre ironico y burlon... UN DIALOGO INTRASCENDENTE EN UNA OPERA BUFA LO CONVIERTE EN EL MAS SUBLEME FONDO MUSICAL..YA LO HABIA HECHO EN COSI FAN TUTE Y HASTA EN SU PROPIA VIDA...LA INMENSA BELLEZA DE LA CREACION HECHA MUSICA
I would like to think they were singing about something so beautiful that it can’t be described in words. Some things are just better left unsaid. And your heart aches because of it.
This is why civilization is precious. After thousands of years of thumping drums and howling at the moon, mankind came up with moments of exquisite wonder such as this. It is worth living for, dying for, protecting and preserving - because it is what makes us the humans that we are - unique in all our wonder. Nothing illustrates this fact than listening to music of this outstanding quality.
Your comment made me smile, Louis. The world we live in contains a lot of darkness and rivers of unhappiness, that much is a matter of observation. Indeed, there has never been so much human goodness throughout history. But like light in a dark hall, the moment it is there, it can be seen from the furthest corners. It lights up the world so that everyone can see the invisible. And when there is enough of it, it will even warm up the very air. We can focus on the darkness or we can focus on the light. If we focus on the one, we will see nothing but darkness and feel nothing but cold. If we focus on the other, however, we will do more than see and feel. We will experience something that is called hope. And hope, more than anything, is what has always kept us alive. You cannot look at the light and be unmoved by it. You cannot see it without feeling hope. And you cannot have hope without knowing that even though the darkest of days may yet lie ahead, the end of it all will be the better beginning of everything else.
This is a beautiful Aria! My Dad was a beautiful Irish tenor. He loved Opera and could sing in Italian and Latin. He wasn't fluent in either language but learned it from his love of music. He loved the movie "The Shawshank Redemption", as it was an amazing movie. We would watch it often and he was enthralled by this Aria. Who wouldn't be? God rest you Dad. I miss you every day. I hope your enjoying your music in heaven!
My family ancestors are from the Black Forest region of Germany. Several years ago he taught himself how to sing silent night in German. He is conversational and it took awhile.
@ DownHill3537: In this scene from Mozart's opera "The Marriage of Figaro", the Countess was left alone and she ponders the loss of her happiness. Susanna, her maid, enters and updates her regarding the plan to trap the Count. The Countess dictates a love letter for Susanna to send to the Count, which suggests that he meet her that night, "under the pines". The letter instructs the Count to return the pin which fastens the letter. In this duet, the Countess dictates the title and the three lines of the letter and, after a pause, Susanna repeats the lines as she writes them. In the later part of this duet, the Countess and Susanna read alternate lines with a slight overlap (bars 38-45) until they finish in a true duet with their conclusion. Without repetitions, the contents of the letter is: *"A little song on the breeze (the title), what a gentle little Zephyr, this evening will sigh, under the pines in the little grove.*... and both conclude with the last line, *"and the rest he'll understand."*
I'm a 21 years old french student, we are Friday night, and I'm listenning this music while my friends are in a bar. So I guess this song is quite magic... Thanks the Shawshank redemption, and thanks Slickerflicker !
du har ret, en gang imellem glemmer jeg at være taknemmelig for mange gode stunder, i stedet for at tage det hele som en selvfølge, det var godt, så blev jeg opmærksom på taknemmeligheden igen. Så må du ellers have en god lørdag og søndag og mandag og så videre.
Gundula Janowitz had the most unbelievable breathing technique, control, and timbre of any voice I have ever heard. One of the best sopranos of the 20th century.
This wonderful piece of music was really made famous in the modern concept by its use in the Shawshank Redemption. One of the greatest films ever made!
I absolutely love Mozart. His music transports me, calms me, makes me happy and sad. One of the most gifted people who ever existed. I wonder what he would think of the music of today.
This is one of those songs you understand without knowing the words. It's more than music when it connects people across languages, time, space, and oceans of thought. At least more than what most people call music these days. A lot of musicians now try to entertain. And they do just that. But we remember the ones who open up their soul and remind us that our feelings are common among people from all over, all walks of life, all times and places. We remember the ones who can show us we're all the same.
This is one of the very, very few pieces of music that actually made me cry first time I heard it in my early teens...It was pretty embarrassing, as it happened in a theater full of bewildered people...though none were as surprised at my own reaction as I was...2 decades later, and I still have to hold myself from wailing uncontrollably while listening to it...
When I listen to this, I close my eyes and let the music envelop me. Music can move you to tears. This is the beauty of it. Never feel embarassed by it. The people around you should feel embarassed for not feeling the same way. At least you get it.
Je ne sais comment décrire ce que je ressens en écoutant ceci, j’ai versé des larmes la première fois que j’ai écouté ce morceau 😊 tellement d’émotions et de frissons....
Most folk today don't experience a song that has such depth and meaning and beauty that it makes them cry for no other reason than it's beautiful. It breaks barriers like no other. I am glad to have lived in a time where I can listen to this work of pure beauty.
I saw this opera as a junior in high school on a field trip. I had compmained to my music teacher ( I played guitar and was into nothing but rock. The year was 1978). My teacher said that I had a fantastic ear for music. He instructed me to wear a blindfold during the performance and just listen. I reluctantly did as he said and wore a blindfold. My classmates thought I was stupid. I felt stupid until this aria started. I was in shock! How could a mortal man create such beautiful music? I was so affected that I was crying like a baby as I listened. Now my classmates think I'm a little pussy but I didn't care. Those voices...burned into my soul with the music. When I saw my music teacher the next week I told him that I was competely stoked. I tokd him that I had a dream that night that Mozart jammed with Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, and Black Sabbath. Told my teacher that Mozart was born a couple of hundred years too soon. To this day ai am still a huge fan of his music.
What I think is truely amazing, is this was all inside this Mozarts head, and he was able to put on paper. And it has survived after all this time, when it could have just as easily been put in the bin and lost to us. We salute you Wolfgang
It survived precisely beacuse of its ethernal and global beauty, and the effect it made on everyone, even on the big destroyers of history like Stalin and Hitler, who reportedly loved Mozart
Possibly the most beautiful duet ever written. I wonder whether Mozart smiled thinking of future generations of people who would not understand the libretto.
When i was little my folks tried everything to get a toddler asleep with colic. Sinatra, Mitch Miller, classical and opera. They tried it all. Classical stoll to this day puts me to sleep. Francis Albert is still my favorite
I just watched The Shawshank Redemption. I think all people the have watch this movie. Thanks all the people who maked the great movie. Especially Andy and Red :) I was here and i'll be again maybe one day. 'Cause "hope is a good thing".
Just another reason "The Shawshank Redemption" is my number 1 movie of all time. It introduced me, and I'm sure many more to Mozart. So beautifully done in the movie capturing the essence of the song or as Morgan Freeman put it "they are singing about something so beautiful it cant be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it."
yeah but that red´s line is ironic because they´re singing about a duplicitous love letter to expose infidelity, and Dufresne's wife's affair is the event which indirectly leads to his imprisonment.
Eso es cierto, pero el contenido de la "cancioncilla" debe ser interpretado como el artilugio en el que se realiza lo que dice el Dove sono, como instrumento del amor y la lealtad que siente la Condesa y el profundo deseo de salvar su amor y "Di cangiar l'ingrato cor!". Sólo por eso, la sublime ternura y belleza que se proyecta desde esa interpretación, sin saber lo que dice, pues "I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can't be expressed into words, and makes your heart ache because of it.", es totalmente justa. a no dudar que quien la escuche sin buscar la traducción sentirá lo mismo, y el que sepa lo que dice la canción y entienda el contexto en el que se desarrolla... lo sentirá aún más.
...ist es nicht ein kleines Wunder auf Erden so derartig Schönes mit all' seinen Sinnen wahrnehmen zu dürfen! Den liebsten Dank an Diejenigen, die maßgeblich dazu beitrugen! Das macht das Leben um ein Vielfaches schöner!...
How many of us, when introduced to this song, experienced a sea change in our perspective of the high classics? This was truly a great song to bring that about. Like Ellis 'Boyd' Redding, I don't have the slightest idea what they're singing about, but it must have been something so beautiful, words alone could not describe it.
To get the real taste of this song, you must watch "The Shawshank Redemption", the true feeling comes from that scene of the movie. Which is unexplainable ❤️
Sublime interprétation ! On croirait des anges descendus du ciel avec leurs voix si pures! Instant magique et à écouter sans modération Merci pour cet instant de bonheur 😊
I've never heard a music before that so completely captures life in a few minutes... the hardships, the sadness, the loss... and the beauty that lingers on... if we open to it.
+Benjamin Yeatrakas "I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it.

I have a picture in my mind of W A Mozart sitting at his desk, if in the evening in poor light, with two things available to him, a blank sheet of paper and pen as one and his extraordinary mind as the other, and after some time in thought and contemplation having in front of him music like this. I wish I could understand this mind but, as this is so far from possible, I thank Heaven that he produced it and that I can hear and enjoy the beautiful sound of these two artist's presentation of it. Thank You, Thank you.
The beauty of this aria built so much emotion in all my body that makes me cry every time I'm listening. If you think that the man gave us this beauty died alone in dark and cold...Unfortunately also make me realise the superficiality of most of today's music. Who will listen any of this in 200 years and make them cry??? I think nobody
You are no Valentin"o" Rossi. You are no Valintines day but, you are a man, Valentin that, think like a great man. You have the same picture in your head like me...I think?
If you close your eyes and listen carefully you can hear God talking through these two opera singers. This is probably one of the best ever composed Arias. Thank You Mozart for bringing Serenity to this world.
"Your honor's" ending credits brought me here. What a wonderful Aria by Mozart. It reminds me to thank God for my life, good or bad, to take in nature, listen to the birds, feel the sun on my face and above all count my blessings always. Amen.🙏🏾✝️❤️
The genius who wrote this is buried in an unmarked grave...no one knows precisely where. Yet as Shakespeare said, "As long as men can breathe, and have [ears] that hear, so long lives this, and gives life to thee." Danke immer, Wolfi.
Empower Jospeh II of Austria had issued an edict barring individual burials using coffins, wanting the dead buried immediately for sanitation purposes. . Nowadays he would have been considered “green”.
One of the most beautiful arias ( duets ) in all of Mozart's musical literature. The sweet soft quuality of the duettino takes you to a peaceful spiritual world filled with love and serenity..
Every time I hear this magnificent masterpiece, I picture a calm yet vibrant sea where the sun shines through the tranquil, translucent ocean waves. The welcoming waves slightly rock my weathered row boat as I realise that the world is beautiful. And that all its inhabitants will always be under the gracious care of our almighty father in heaven.
He tenido la oportunidad de tocar esta obra, que belleza musical, cuanto arte, este es el tipo de obras que llegan al alma desde la primera vez que la escuchas... MOzart vive en cada reproducción de este audio, feliz día.
Edith Mathis' voice has an ethereal quality with an aura of softness coupled with precision yet effortlessly modulated into a form of art so beautiful words cannot fully express it .
"A little song on the breeze" What a gentle little Zephyr This evening will sigh Under the pines in the little grove. And the rest he'll understand. A little song on the breeze... Susanna: Sull'aria... On the breeze... Contessa: Che soave zeffiretto... What a gentle little Zephyr... Susanna: Zeffiretto... A little Zephyr... Contessa: Questa sera spirerà... This evening will sigh... Susanna: Questa sera spirerà... This evening will sigh... Contessa: Sotto i pini del boschetto. Under the pines in the little grove. Susanna: Sotto i pini... Under the pines... Contessa: Sotto i pini del boschetto. Under the pines in the little grove. Susanna: Sotto i pini...del boschetto... Under the pines...in the little grove.... Contessa: Ei già il resto capirà. And the rest he'll understand. Susanna/ Contessa: Certo, certo il capirà. Certainly, certainly he'll understand.
"I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can't be expressed into words, and makes your heart ache because of it."
I know what they are saying. Its not important, just a trap for a unfaithful husband. The song remains beautiful.
My mom no joke can sing like this ! and you are so right about not knowing about what they are saying
But i can tell you one thing i am half Italian and one word i can get out is Marriage..

Sublime. I was sleeping and woke to this. For a moment I thought I had died peacefully and entered heaven.
In 1956 when, I was seven, I first heard the Mozart Requiem and was convinced that this was what popular music in Heaven is.

It's never enough to be regretted that Mozart died at such a young age
Oh my heavens was Mozart a human being? How could a mere human write anything so beautiful! It just soars and lifts the soul. Incredible!!
I wonder about that most of the time
Yes. He soars and lifts your soul...Even if you`r scared of flying...
Someone said Mozart cleanses the soul, which I think is an accurate observation.

My teacher said that I had a fantastic ear for music. He instructed me to wear a blindfold during the performance and just listen. I reluctantly did as he said and wore a blindfold. My classmates thought I was stupid. I felt stupid until this aria started. I was in shock! How could a mortal man create such beautiful music? I was so affected that I was crying like a baby as I listened. Now my classmates think I'm a little pussy but I didn't care. Those voices...burned into my soul with the music. When I saw my music teacher the next week I told him that I was competely stoked. I tokd him that I had a dream that night that Mozart jammed with Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, and Black Sabbath. Told my teacher that Mozart was born a couple of hundred years too soon. To this day ai am still a huge fan of his music.
I tell you those voices soared. Higher and farther then anybody in a grey place dares to dream
Even the good Lord would shed a tear on listening to this astoundingly beautiful piece.
I like to think that the good Lord gifted this music to mankind through Mozart.
I mean if you believe in the good Lord then he would have given the gift to Mozart. Although maybe he would shed a tear at the beauty of His own work.
Music from another world !!!
I Agree
What I think is truely amazing, is this was all inside this Mozarts head, and he was able to put on paper. And it has survived after all this time, when it could have just as easily been put in the bin and lost to us. We salute you Wolfgang
The wonder of it all!
It survived precisely beacuse of its ethernal and global beauty, and the effect it made on everyone, even on the big destroyers of history like Stalin and Hitler, who reportedly loved Mozart
“in his head”, and in his heart…🙌🏽
Thank you Mozart!
Possibly the most beautiful duet ever written. I wonder whether Mozart smiled thinking of future generations of people who would not understand the libretto.
Grapevines and a pastel horizon. Beautiful.😢
I have two younger children and I was using this as the most efficient way to put them to sleep...
What a beautiful arrangement.
I absolutely love it.
When i was little my folks tried everything to get a toddler asleep with colic. Sinatra, Mitch Miller, classical and opera. They tried it all. Classical stoll to this day puts me to sleep. Francis Albert is still my favorite
I just watched The Shawshank Redemption. I think all people the have watch this movie. Thanks all the people who maked the great movie. Especially Andy and Red :) I was here and i'll be again maybe one day. 'Cause "hope is a good thing".
The words adequate to describe the beauty of this, have yet to be conceived.
Thank You for these Kind words
Ooohhh!!!Maravilloso!!
Was macht es mich glücklich, das es solche Musik gibt...
The Shawshank Redemption brought me here, thank you so much!
Just another reason "The Shawshank Redemption" is my number 1 movie of all time. It introduced me, and I'm sure many more to Mozart. So beautifully done in the movie capturing the essence of the song or as Morgan Freeman put it "they are singing about something so beautiful it cant be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it."
yeah but that red´s line is ironic because they´re singing about a duplicitous love letter to expose infidelity, and Dufresne's wife's affair is the event which indirectly leads to his imprisonment.
Eso es cierto, pero el contenido de la "cancioncilla" debe ser interpretado como el artilugio en el que se realiza lo que dice el Dove sono, como instrumento del amor y la lealtad que siente la Condesa y el profundo deseo de salvar su amor y "Di cangiar l'ingrato cor!". Sólo por eso, la sublime ternura y belleza que se proyecta desde esa interpretación, sin saber lo que dice, pues "I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can't be expressed into words, and makes your heart ache because of it.", es totalmente justa. a no dudar que quien la escuche sin buscar la traducción sentirá lo mismo, y el que sepa lo que dice la canción y entienda el contexto en el que se desarrolla... lo sentirá aún más.
In Brazil this movie is "A freedom's dream"
Best flick of all. And this moment in it took it over the top for me.
It's sad when people only know classical music from movies or Bugs Bunny cartoons (think barber).
...ist es nicht ein kleines Wunder auf Erden so derartig Schönes mit all' seinen Sinnen wahrnehmen zu dürfen!
Den liebsten Dank an Diejenigen, die maßgeblich dazu beitrugen!
Das macht das Leben um ein Vielfaches schöner!...
Ja finde ich auch. Jeder Mensch der das hören darf wird zu einen besseren Menschen
Com certeza sim ❤❤❤
I can just listen to these ladies sing this over and over again, as old as this song is it never gets old listening to it❤️
Beautiful ✝️
How many of us, when introduced to this song, experienced a sea change in our perspective of the high classics? This was truly a great song to bring that about. Like Ellis 'Boyd' Redding, I don't have the slightest idea what they're singing about, but it must have been something so beautiful, words alone could not describe it.
+Lamont Lewis EXACTLY!!!
To get the real taste of this song, you must watch "The Shawshank Redemption", the true feeling comes from that scene of the movie.
Which is unexplainable ❤️
This has a hauntingly beautiful sweetness about this. It touches one deep inside! What a mighty genius Mozart was!
Amazing, a poet nor artist could present such beauty, and I do not have a clue as to the words,.
Lots of love from India 🖤
Sublime interprétation !
On croirait des anges descendus du ciel avec leurs voix si pures!
Instant magique et à écouter sans modération
Merci pour cet instant de bonheur 😊
I've never heard a music before that so completely captures life in a few minutes... the hardships, the sadness, the loss... and the beauty that lingers on... if we open to it.
Some things are better left unsaid. . . :)

Una delle arie più belle mai ascoltate
I have a picture in my mind of W A Mozart sitting at his desk, if in the evening in poor light, with two things available to him, a blank sheet of paper and pen as one and his extraordinary mind as the other, and after some time in thought and contemplation having in front of him music like this. I wish I could understand this mind but, as this is so far from possible, I thank Heaven that he produced it and that I can hear and enjoy the beautiful sound of these two artist's presentation of it. Thank You, Thank you.
For first time... I feel really free...
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSAAAAA!
Sull'aria, sull'aria, so great we have to hear it twice!
The beauty of this aria built so much emotion in all my body that makes me cry every time I'm listening. If you think that the man gave us this beauty died alone in dark and cold...Unfortunately also make me realise the superficiality of most of today's music. Who will listen any of this in 200 years and make them cry??? I think nobody
You are no Valentin"o" Rossi. You are no Valintines day but, you are a man, Valentin that, think like a great man. You have the same picture in your head like me...I think?
“Every last man at shawshank felt free that day”
Rad Derry ok
Rad Derry ok
Skeeter Waylon Yes, I too, have watched The Shawshank Redemption.
This Aria is Very Beautiful
I listen to this daily. Usually more than once. It is my Zen ❤
Thank you
If you close your eyes and listen carefully you can hear God talking through these two opera singers. This is probably one of the best ever composed Arias. Thank You Mozart for bringing Serenity to this world.
Meraviglioso! I listened to this aria today first time, and I was driving, but I knew at once it had to be Mozart.
It's so beautiful i play it through to the end. It deserves the repeat.
One of the loveliest thing ever written and sung.
One of the most beautiful songs in the world
"Your honor's" ending credits brought me here.
What a wonderful Aria by Mozart.
It reminds me to thank God for my life, good or bad, to take in nature, listen to the birds, feel the sun on my face and above all count my blessings always. Amen.🙏🏾✝️❤️
RED brought me here ( SHAWSHANK) LOL
The genius who wrote this is buried in an unmarked grave...no one knows precisely where. Yet as Shakespeare said, "As long as men can breathe, and have [ears] that hear, so long lives this, and gives life to thee."
Danke immer, Wolfi.
No he wasn't; that was directatorial liberty. His grave is marked and he wasn't buried in a common pit of the poor. The rest, I concur.
Empower Jospeh II of Austria had issued an edict barring individual burials using coffins, wanting the dead buried immediately for sanitation purposes. . Nowadays he would have been considered “green”.
One of the most beautiful arias ( duets ) in all of Mozart's musical literature. The sweet soft quuality of the duettino takes you to a peaceful spiritual world filled with love and serenity..
Excelente música, no me canso de escucharla, es muy relajante. La música clásica es lo mejor para el alma.
Every time I hear this magnificent masterpiece, I picture a calm yet vibrant sea where the sun shines through the tranquil, translucent ocean waves. The welcoming waves slightly rock my weathered row boat as I realise that the world is beautiful. And that all its inhabitants will always be under the gracious care of our almighty father in heaven.
Man, ur words took me where u r trying to be put. As beautiful as the song being played. U have a friend in Egypt.
As the poet says:
God is in His Heaven
And all's right with the world.
Jack McGuigan Nah! The Almighty prefers organ music. Haha
He tenido la oportunidad de tocar esta obra, que belleza musical, cuanto arte, este es el tipo de obras que llegan al alma desde la primera vez que la escuchas... MOzart vive en cada reproducción de este audio, feliz día.
I agree
Wonderful creation. It always makes me cry.
Nice
And for the briefest of moments every last soul listening this felt free
Yes, it was that moment and that time in life
Edith Mathis' voice has an ethereal quality with an aura of softness coupled with precision yet effortlessly modulated into a form of art so beautiful words cannot fully express it .
That is an unequivocal acknowledgement of her gift.
Dear Mister Mozart,
listening makes feeling love & peace deep in heard ... this world is missing you - unbelievable !!!
Hardy Stuttgart Gone much to soon
GOD MADE SURE WE WOULD NEVER HAVE TO MISS MOZART.
Amazing piece of art. And these ladies sing it so beautifully. Truly a masterpiece.
"A little song on the breeze"
What a gentle little Zephyr
This evening will sigh
Under the pines in the little grove.
And the rest he'll understand.
A little song on the breeze...
Susanna: Sull'aria... On the breeze...
Contessa: Che soave zeffiretto... What a gentle little Zephyr...
Susanna: Zeffiretto... A little Zephyr...
Contessa: Questa sera spirerà... This evening will sigh...
Susanna: Questa sera spirerà... This evening will sigh...
Contessa: Sotto i pini del boschetto. Under the pines in the little grove.
Susanna: Sotto i pini... Under the pines...
Contessa: Sotto i pini del boschetto. Under the pines in the little grove.
Susanna: Sotto i pini...del boschetto... Under the pines...in the little grove....
Contessa: Ei già il resto capirà. And the rest he'll understand.
Susanna/
Contessa: Certo, certo il capirà. Certainly, certainly he'll understand.
Thank you
Une merveille
Impresionante
I am moved beyond this earth with this rendition of one of my favorite arias by good ol' Mozart. Thank you for posting.
