That was fantastic, Vijay and Reena. It brought tears and a sense joy and relief. I remember the sadness that I felt four years ago when Kate McKinnon played this song on the piano on Saturday Night Live.
Hey there Erik - I am lucky to play on a 2010 violin made by LA-based luthier Eric Benning. It's one of his Strad models. In this video, I'm playing on a bow modeled after a 18th century Italian bow made by Louis Begín, and I also use a Persoit bow.
Woow This was absolutely beautiful! 👏🏼 Thank you for this 😊 Have a blessed Christmas! (I made a cover of this song too and would love to know what you think) 😀
Wonderful seamless Legato with double stops make this a fantastic performance by a great violinist.
Hó glórias a Deus são louvores que não pode deixar de houvir ,parabéns 🙏❤️
Beautiful rendition of the song.

You have God- given talent , my friend.

That version from SNL was what inspired me to make this arrangement
Thanks so much. Yes, this was a response to that exact moment!
Beautiful. Thank you for recording this.
Thanks so much! Always a joy to work with Louis Ng of Lenson Productions - he's such a wonderful engineer.
Best version out there. Fabulous. Soulful.
How pretty !! Bravo and thank you for this beautiful sharing.Good evening. Best regards Danielle
Thank you, Danielle!
Hi! Amazing performance! Would it be possible to have access to the sheet music for your arrangement so I could play it at a special family event? :)
Goodness, such beauty. (I need some sheet music and a few years more of training).
Thanks so much! The sheet music will be available on Reena's website soon - www.reenaesmail.com.
@@guptaviolin Beautiful performance! Do you know when the sheet music might be available?
What violin do you play on, Vijay?

@@guptaviolin Thanks! That was my suspicion.

It's really something to take a song as overdone as this one and make it alive again. Bravi!
One question: Sounds like Db, but you are using open strings. Explain!!??
Hi there! Where do you hear the D-flat? the arrangement is in D-major, so I'm using open D-strings often!
@@guptaviolin My mistake. My tuner was set wrongly.
