The pianist was also of very high standard! Of course for a place like this the grand piano itself was of classic concert quality, but he really pushed it!
I have been a Fan of this Band for more than 15 years, They have many more Incredible Songs. You Guys should check out their Song Temple of Thought (The Unplugged Version)next its Amazing.
So happy you did this guys - the beauty of the Alexander Theater Sessions is that every single song is amazingly arranged and not a bit of substandard sound in any of it! You can't go wrong with any of the choices they offer for that album, I hope you will continue to enjoy those :) I do also echo others for a reaction to the unplugged version of Temple of Thought, another gem. Thanks guys!
What brought us these magnificent sessions was COVID-19. A gorgeous place like this with excellent acoustics was vacant for months and thus rentable for a reasonable price. For once no need for reverb effects - just mic the whole room. This theater was built when Finland was part of Russia and the czar wanted there to be facilities that would be worth his majesty when he visited, so even while Helsinki was a small and poor city, it had to have a theater suitable for the royals.
first time i hear this also. when piano and singer only, we can only hope that pianist is good and singer truly have good voice. both was amazing. i think all this alexandria theater live song are amazing. thanx to great reaction again and have awesome day there. there is also very good moscow live concert in you tube.
Excellent, what a great voice! Just goes to show, you cannot judge a book by its cover. The last thing you are expecting is a voice like that. Remarkable. 👏👏👏 👏👏❤️🤘🇦🇺
They have a couple with the amazing ensamble TrioSis+, 4 amazing ladies on violins and cello. Rebirth is my absolute favorite of the Alexander theater sessions featuring the whole band and TrioSis+.
Music truly unites and connects us, loved your reactions here. Especially 2:45 forward the pure, delighted gesture from the lady was so nice, made me smile.
I'm soooo glad you discovered their Alexander Theatre (acoustic) Sessions!! Twelve songs, one a month, for a year during COVID. Angel was a beautiful song! If you really liked the piano, they have another song, "Lift" (episode 8) that is also just the piano with Marko singing. What I like about this song is that the original version is a such a faster paced, guitar driven, Rock song. Yet the acoustic version with just piano is simply beautiful...I didn't even realize it was the same song the first time I heard it! I second any request for the acoustic version of "Lift" for a reaction (and then you should watch the official video for the harder original version on your own and compare 😊).
Not a bad place considering it was built I think in 1865 as a Russian Army Theatre. Finland gained her indipendence in 1917. Marko Saaresto has a velvety full voice, but he can handle high notes and fancetto as well. He has lived in England, you can hear that, and his prononciation is very good and clear. These Alexander Theatre acoustic stripped versions are great. They released one Alexander Theatre Sessions video every month last year. I agree, the grand piano sounded absolutely great. No need for any other instrument(s).
When I first heard them I didn't even realize they were Finnish. His voice and their genre are more like something that could and should be in heavy rotation on American radio stations.
I love watching you gushing over PotF, as they deserve! They are so good, one of my absolute favourite bands. Every single one of their songs is a masterpiece, no kidding. Ginger's face at 2:53 is how they make me feel 100% of the time. Can't wait to go through the Alexander Sessions with you, one at a time is a great way to do it. I could suggest False Kings next
POTF is masterful at using Maarko to create emotional music. The way they create the runs he has at the end of the chorus is a trademark of their music. It always brings me back for more.
Glad you two loved it 🤗 I think I was one of tthe that said you should do the whole set list from Alexander Theater. Clown free space. Next up Rebirth! 🙂
You should listen "Temple of thought", acoustic version. That's one of my favourites of PoTF. By the way, Alexandre theatre use to be national opera house in Helsinki, Finland. Nowadays it is national balets place more or less. Name comes from Emperor Alexander II.
Old Gods of Asgard is a fictional band which has a music played on some videogames. Of course it is a Poets of The Fall but a little bit of different harder tone. Take Control is one of the latest "single"
Love this band, he's my second favourite singer after Chris Harms. These guys are amazing live, I'm lucky enough to have tickets for next year to see them again. I can't really recommend one song over another, like LOTL, they're all good. 🖤
One of the only bands that sound just as good live if not better, I'm with ginger I'm in love with his voice too, sleep live, late goodbye acoustic version, temple of thought and lift are good ones,
Lovely reaction 😍 "Jealous Gods" and "Lift" are only piano/voice... the last 3 of the sessions have strings as well... anyway I hope you'll react to more of the Alexander Theatre Sessions.
Poets of fall is( and especially this song) .. amazing! Btw.. please, please react this Finnish band. It almost metal.. allmost metal, but it is just good aduld type old school rock. I promise that!! I'm 99,9 sure you like it! Greetings from Finland and sorry my englsh, i'm (like you two guys) over 50 years old metalfan of Finland. Please, please please react : Thy Row - The round.
Guys, you already did the POTF studio version of *_”Carnival of Rust”_* , but the live version is also very interesting (and a bunch of female teens): ruclips.net/video/AGPpUTPzS6k/видео.html and if you loved this song (Angel), you'll also will love: *_”Cradled in Love”_* : ruclips.net/video/t4OlGlcLpzI/видео.html
Beautiful indeed! Have you btw ever given Melody Gardot a chance? Perhaps Burying My Troubles (ruclips.net/video/dP_S0YCTm2s/видео.html), If Ever I Recall Your Face (ruclips.net/video/KbXBUgLq2fs/видео.html) or Once I Was Loved (ruclips.net/video/Rw7QqhGRk9Y/видео.html).
The whole Alexander Theater Sessions series has the best recording quality ever. I would recommend especially these two: Poets of the Fall - False Kings (Alexander Theatre Sessions / Episode 6) ruclips.net/video/bYn2KXov4LE/видео.html Poets of the Fall feat. Triosis+ - Carnival of Rust (Alexander Theatre Sessions / Episode 12) ruclips.net/video/fM0J5kRMGaw/видео.html
20 may ,Lahti ,and 27 May they play in Finland , Helsinki. ..If ever going to put 6-8000 dollars to a gig, _ you barking at the right band : I going, but if fast feedback : the 27.5 Helsinki is up for you ~ zero cost, @ Ylioppilastalo . .got 2 tickets, for me and my.friend : but lost count of live-shows: 36 or 34 ; Live by Poets Of The Fall__ watched Live ~ ..
One of the best singers out there
The pianist was also of very high standard!
Of course for a place like this the grand piano itself was of classic concert quality, but he really pushed it!

Yeah I agree, I thought of that one after I saw this. Good pick.
Temple of thought is an amazing song!
"Where do we draw the line" next. It is one of the most beautiful of their songs.
Poets of the Fall and Nightwish are my two favourite bands. So glad you react to them. I also love to see Aurora reactions :)
We love them all! - G
They are the best. I can listen to Poets of the fall every day for the rest of my life.💚
So happy you did this guys - the beauty of the Alexander Theater Sessions is that every single song is amazingly arranged and not a bit of substandard sound in any of it! You can't go wrong with any of the choices they offer for that album, I hope you will continue to enjoy those :)

Their song SLEEP, is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard
What brought us these magnificent sessions was COVID-19. A gorgeous place like this with excellent acoustics was vacant for months and thus rentable for a reasonable price.
For once no need for reverb effects - just mic the whole room.
This theater was built when Finland was part of Russia and the czar wanted there to be facilities that would be worth his majesty when he visited, so even while Helsinki was a small and poor city, it had to have a theater suitable for the royals.
you should definitely do the whole Alexander theatre session.. Also.. watch Temple of thought (acoustic) and Cradled in love
Children of the Sun AT session too.
The poet and his muse from The Poets of the Fall is great too. Greatings from Germany!
Finally some music that fits both my taste & nationality. Even the lyrics were a poetic masterpiece.
This is one of my absolute favorite bands. Honestly severely underrated.
My favorite one! It's incredible... Please continue with A. Theater songs! Especially the Triosis colabs, fantastic!
My wife plays this so much. It never gets old. These guys are amazing
You have made her day guys.
Keep them coming

So true, it is like a completely different song!
... deeply in love with this man's voice ... (I think I remember this is what you said, Ginger?) Welcome to the club :D !
🤜🏻🤛🏻 - G
My absolute favorite POTF song in this theater series. I watched it during the live and was in tears and had goose bumps
I love the version of this song ... my absolute favourite song ! And great reaction btw. ;-)
Not a bad place considering it was built I think in 1865 as a Russian Army Theatre. Finland gained her indipendence in 1917.
Marko Saaresto has a velvety full voice, but he can handle high notes and fancetto as well. He has lived in England, you can hear that, and his prononciation is very good and clear.
These Alexander Theatre acoustic stripped versions are great. They released one Alexander Theatre Sessions video every month last year.
I agree, the grand piano sounded absolutely great. No need for any other instrument(s).
I believe he is half-British, on his Mum's side.
When I first heard them I didn't even realize they were Finnish. His voice and their genre are more like something that could and should be in heavy rotation on American radio stations.
I love watching you gushing over PotF, as they deserve! They are so good, one of my absolute favourite bands. Every single one of their songs is a masterpiece, no kidding. Ginger's face at 2:53 is how they make me feel 100% of the time.
Can't wait to go through the Alexander Sessions with you, one at a time is a great way to do it. I could suggest False Kings next
Wow that was really good, what a great sound!
Марко ты лучший...вау. мои тебе рукоплескания✌️👏✌️
The piano is a Yamaha CFX (Conservatory Series) 9' concert grand, their top of the line. Beautiful to play, wonderful to tune.
What an incredible song……😇!
POTF is masterful at using Maarko to create emotional music. The way they create the runs he has at the end of the chorus is a trademark of their music. It always brings me back for more.
I loved your reaction. It mirrored my own. I am more of a metal guy but this is a band that makes amazing music. 🤘🔥Please continue with POTF.
We absolutely will! Another one coming later today! - G
Glad you two loved it 🤗 I think I was one of tthe that said you should do the whole set list from Alexander Theater. Clown free space. Next up Rebirth! 🙂
MAGNIFICENT!
I love this song. FI.
He is amazing voice
So now two of the greatest vocalists sing in Finnish bands !! Floor has competition.
You should listen "Temple of thought", acoustic version. That's one of my favourites of PoTF. By the way, Alexandre theatre use to be national opera house in Helsinki, Finland. Nowadays it is national balets place more or less. Name comes from Emperor Alexander II.
Once again so happy I subscribed to your channel!
We’re happy you did, too! - G
Old Gods of Asgard is a fictional band which has a music played on some videogames.
Of course it is a Poets of The Fall but a little bit of different harder tone.
Take Control is one of the latest "single"
Love this band, he's my second favourite singer after Chris Harms. These guys are amazing live, I'm lucky enough to have tickets for next year to see them again. I can't really recommend one song over another, like LOTL, they're all good. 🖤
Chris and Marko would be really something together in a song.
@@ChrisPage68 I'd love to hear that, it'd be epic. One song from each band or do they do a Die Kreature type superband ?
One of the only bands that sound just as good live if not better, I'm with ginger I'm in love with his voice too, sleep live, late goodbye acoustic version, temple of thought and lift are good ones,
THANK YOU!!!
Lovely reaction 😍 "Jealous Gods" and "Lift" are only piano/voice... the last 3 of the sessions have strings as well... anyway I hope you'll react to more of the Alexander Theatre Sessions.
Definitely will! - G
This one...and Jealous Gods...are my favourite songs of this album. You should listen it :) .
Dang - straight in The Feels! 😭
Needs more 🤡...eh, G? 😉 💜
Haha. 😑
Poets of fall is( and especially this song) .. amazing! Btw.. please, please react this Finnish band. It almost metal.. allmost metal, but it is just good aduld type old school rock. I promise that!!

I hear your lies 😑 - G
But the music is fantastic
Hi Ginger & Mike. You should check the original version also 🙂

Ooh! Thanks for the tip! - G
Not a fan of the newer songs, but regardless of what he sings, Marko's voice will always be amazing.
😊❤❤❤❤❤
Please do reaction on alipbata doing Shallow, i think its one of the best from him. You gonna enjoy it too i believe .
nice two Arguments ;-)
Not all Finnish bands are metal, Thank God! :)
React : Thy row - the round. (Another good for adult taste. It isnt metal, but it really kiks oldschool rock (from Finland))
Guys, you already did the POTF studio version of *_”Carnival of Rust”_* , but the live version is also very interesting (and a bunch of female teens): ruclips.net/video/AGPpUTPzS6k/видео.html

*_”Cradled in Love”_* : ruclips.net/video/t4OlGlcLpzI/видео.html

Beautiful indeed! Have you btw ever given Melody Gardot a chance? Perhaps Burying My Troubles (ruclips.net/video/dP_S0YCTm2s/видео.html), If Ever I Recall Your Face (ruclips.net/video/KbXBUgLq2fs/видео.html) or Once I Was Loved (ruclips.net/video/Rw7QqhGRk9Y/видео.html).
Stop with the clown comments, he never portrayed a clown he portraid a mime.
You need to relax. It’s a joke. ✌🏻
You should definitely check out "Beyond The Horizon" by Poets of The Fall.
The whole Alexander Theater Sessions series has the best recording quality ever. I would recommend especially these two:
Poets of the Fall - False Kings (Alexander Theatre Sessions / Episode 6)
ruclips.net/video/bYn2KXov4LE/видео.html
Poets of the Fall feat. Triosis+ - Carnival of Rust (Alexander Theatre Sessions / Episode 12)
ruclips.net/video/fM0J5kRMGaw/видео.html
Totally agree. We are slowly working our way thru the entire series. King of Fools should be up tomorrow 🤞🏻 - G
