While Phillip is in character it can be easy to forget what a genuinely sweet guy he is. Excellent work of community service Anna and Phillip, we hope your efforts result in the full restoration of the village church.
Feel privileged to hear such beautiful playing in such an historic church with excellent acoustics. Bravo to Philipp contributing to the community in such a classy way. Anna, such a smart way to host your event - on the lawn using found objects at the chateau and cooking in that tiny kitchen. Well done, all. The first of many events to come, I’m sure.
As a professional cellist who loves old architecture, this was one of my favorite episodes! Very cool that you guys helped organize this concert to benefit your community and the restoration of that church. And, the musicians sounded fantastic. 👌🏻 If you’d ever like a cellist to come play in your chateau…
How wonderful this entire video is from start to finish. The story of the composer, the violinists, baroque music in a baroque chateau, and the 300 year old violin simply wonderful. The preparations, Anna baking with the girls, Nathan, Benoit, and all of your helpers, was so nice to watch. The concert, and church was beautiful and Philipp playing the violin was impressive. Anna and Philipp, it’s so nice to see you being a big part of the community. What a special event for a worthy and necessary cause. Thank you for sharing. I hope you raised a substantial amount for the church restoration. xx
That was pure joy to watch. I had the honor of hearing a Canadian opera singer in the Lalande chapel and he explained that choir music was written to accommodate the different characteristics of the building's natural acoustics. Those violins sounded like they were made for that space. And I have often commented to other Chateau owners that they should feature and support the local villages and people in their vlogs, so I am so thrilled that you did this! And that you hire local community members for your renovations and upkeep. You're doing it right! How fitting that Saint Martin shared his cloak with a person in need and now others are honoring his charity by helping restore a chapel devoted to him. It's an inspiration. You might want to give Lalande a call if the church finds a good chapel restorer. I heard they're looking for one.
It's why Opera always sounds best when you hear it naturally. Microphones make it sound waaay to rich and gutural. But when it echoes and dances around a room... suddenly you know why jt was so popular for years.
I’ve just replayed the video, so I could listen to the absolutely wonderful music again. With thanks to Johannes and Roldan for the lovely concert. Thank you all for the privilege.
My mom was learning to play the violin throughout my childhood and teens and constantly played violin music in the car as we commuted to school in another town, so I felt a huge surge of emotion watching this episode. Sadly she passed away at age 47, when I was only 22, from cancer.
OMG! Philip! I am from Silesia and my German speaking grandfather used to sing “Alle meine Entchen” for me when I was little. I had no idea it was a thing! Thank you for bringing the wonderful memory back with your playing. The concert was very moving, I absolutely loved the music. I think it is so important that you are being part of the community and that people from your village feel they can come to the Chateau rather than looking at it from behind a huge gate. I think you should turn the concert into an annual event! Even when the church is renovated, it will need constant maintenance. Good job, guys!
I really enjoyed this episode! Who knew Phillip can play violin! So nice to see the community come together for a worthy cause. Well done Phillip and Anna for organising this lovely fundraiser!
This is definitely on my top 3 vlogs from you guys! The music was out of this world, the even looked like a magical night. Phillip, your speech was beautiful! And may I add that Benoit looked very chic and sophisticated with his red scarf! Thank you so much for letting us enjoy a little bit of this wonderful time!
The beautiful violinists was such a treat. My father played. He would have loved this. Anna…..the whole time I was enjoying the music, I was thinking how wonderful is the color of this room! All your paint choices in the chateau have been fantastic. I watch quite a few chateau renovations on Utube and I wish some of the other renovators would adhere to more subtle paint colors as you do. You are very talented. Also, Thank you for your efforts to restore the beautiful church.
Wow, this was a treat. The music was so well suited to the chapel, and I really hope that through your amazing efforts the chapel will be restored to its former glory. Please keep us posted on the renovations.
In addition to your wonderful weekly vlogs it is so heartwarming and inspiring to see what you both are doing for your community by having this fund raiser for the restoration of this beautiful historic church. To hear these extraordinary violinist and the sound of their music in your beautiful chateau is incredible. What a wonderful experience for your daughters , you their parents are such great examples for your children ,bravo Philip and Anna!
Thank you for sharing. This was magical. The church and music are both heavenly. ❤ We are both Catholic and old house owners. Thank you for helping to save a beautiful Catholic church.
@@arnicepernice8656 I recently saw that some of the stained glass windows have been repaired. I'm glad to see them and hope that as the world opens up more that the repair person will be able to return soon.
@@arnicepernice8656 or maybe she has the same problem everyone has in france, finding reliable competent workers who actually turn up, Ian has been ill . She is not the only chateau owner who is struggling to get people
Happy Birthday Philipp! Finally have seen the correct spelling! Woohoo! Loved every second of this. So wonderful that you and Anna are helping the restoration of the church by doing this concert. The musicians are superb! You are a man of many hidden talents! Watching you play the violin….even though you have studied for a VERY short time, I realise that whatever you do, you have the will and tenacity to get it right…. Now! Or yesterday! Bravo! ❤
Incredible... was teary eyed at some point during the final rehearsal run. How could violin music do that, I always wonder. And how beautifully you captured the audio. Magical. Thanks for sharing this with us :) Congrats to all of you for the event! And happy birthday, Phillip!
Aw- That moment when the score became ambient! So cool. You've credited them before, but so lovely to see these two talented musicians performing. Your littlest seemed pretty rapt too! Thanks for such creative content. I love that you guys highlight a variety of interesting and cool things, and not just rennovation work.
It's so beautiful to see all the history and culture being preserved! Especially seeing the talent of the violinists, who truly are masters of their craft. Thank you for sharing your spectacular work as always! Bravo!
What a wonderful feast for all the senses! Baroque music is my favorite and I got a little misty hearing those glorious notes being played in that wonderful setting. A thousand thanks to all at the chateau who made this possible, (fun seeing Nathan and Benoit looking spiffy!) especially to you, Anna and Philipp, who had the idea. Thanks to the folks who attended this event and bravissimo to the outstanding musicians who brought us so much delight. I love all your videos, but this has to be one of my favorites.
This is so incredibly awesome! Many of us have been very intrigued about that beautiful church in front of your home. Today, you can take care of it in a physical way, and it will take care of you in a spiritual way-all shared on the same land. Remarkable. Thank you so much for sharing both of these love-filled, radiant homes.
Happy Birthday to you, Phillipe!! From Ohio in the USA!! You, Anna, and the girls are very special!! LOVED your birthday video!!! I hope, one day, I will get to meet both of you at your home!!☀️
what a beautiful setting for baroque music. hope the restoration fund drive is a raging success. the musicians were so lovely. Philipp, so glad the violin made it through your playing! thanks for posting.
What a joy it was to listen to those two play. And you're right, there is something touching about music like that being played in such old buildings with such rich history.
The violinists were superb, and their music was magical. The sound in both the chateau and the church was exquisite❗️My appreciation and pleasure in listening to them is abundant❗️🙌 🥰 💙 Oh, and to Phillip, good job❗️👏 🤩
Thank you for such a beautiful video! People joining together to restore an old church is wonderful, music is always a great way to gather together in good spirit. Thank you Phillip for your sense of humor! We enjoy the beautiful images, the food, the music and your speech! 🥰🎶💖🎶🥰🎶💖🎶🥰🎶💖
You two get so much done in your chateau and to take the time to help encourage people to take part in the church restore is commendable. The best part is how you are solid members of the community, you have made the village your home and the people who live there your friends. They are lucky to have you.
Wow! Very skilled musicians. I also loved the part where you cut to the outside of the church during the concert - there's something so lovely about seeing the building, knowing it's full of people coming together and enjoying such music.
Wow!!! This was fabulous! Congratulations to both of you for genuinely becoming part of your community in this way. The church is beautiful and definitely deserving of a loving restoration.
It seems that being direct neighbours of this beautiful village church you have been bestowed guardianship...what could be better ..it deserves to be protected for those who come after us…gathering the community also bring back the energy into the church…thankyou Anna and Philip..❤
I loved this video! Philips humor, your commitment to your home and children and the restoration The violinist’s were Wonderful, I’ve already subscribed to his videos. I hope others will also. He only has a couple hundred.
My heart is so full for your community, seeing the effort to restore the lovely church. What a blessing this project will be and how impactful on current and future village residents. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of the lovely rooms in the chateau; bright, colorful, and peaceful. I know you're pinching yourselves at the culmination of planning and hard work. Blessings for many more opportunities to grow, serve, and enjoy!
I liked the channel very much from the moment RUclips suggested it some months ago. But crowning the completion of so much work with a thank you baroque concert in the local church surprised me. The chateau went to a noble family of the best kind - noblesse du coeur.
This was such a lovely idea! Sharing beautiful music is a wonderful gift to your community 💕 We hope to have concerts like these at our chateau someday… Thank you for sharing!
What a wonderful concert and the musicians were spectacular. I hope the church is successful in raising the funds to repair the roof. The chateau looked magical at the end with the lighted candles. This is what the chateau was meant to be. Such a generous gesture from Phillip and Anna. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Great speech Philipp. The Chateau looked beautiful. Everything was well done. The church is definitely worth restoring. So beautiful. Many thanks for letting us join the party.
Just discovered this video/ episode 4 months later. The musicians are incredible! Perfect harmony and timing. Thank you for sharing this amazing content. I hope the fund raiser was a success and renovations have already been started on the church. I really enjoy watching your videos and love being able to have a glimpse of your chateau life. That it is a huge amount of work, is not lost on me. Thank you so much!
What a vlog….am blown away with the beauty of the music and the kindness of all you are doing. It’s 5:43 am and just tuning in what a way to welcome the sun rise here in Somerset xx
Absolutely amazing! Every week, I come back to watch you two create magic and laugh at the antics. Today was a beautiful diversion. Thank you for every moment week over week.
The violinist's beautiful music is amazing. Interesting story for the precious violin. What a magical enchanting night with so many caring visitors. Tearing up with happy laughter for Philipp. Applause!!
A brilliant event in every possible way! Amazing work from everyone to make this happen. I particularly love the moment when one of daughters goes up to the violinists and listens. I’m sure she will remember this event for the rest of her life 😊
It’s very moving to hear such beautiful music that has as much history as the beautiful buildings it’s being played in. I can only imagine how amazing it sounded in person! What an honor to witness the renovation of the chateau and all the beauty of the french area!
This was beautiful! The people, the food and especially the musicians and the music they produced was a dream to watch and hear. Congratulations on another brilliant vlog and thank you for sharing. All the best.
I had to laugh so hard when Philipp played 'Alle Meine Entchen'. Especially since he was sliding up on the string instead of changing onto the next higher string. I would have done exactly same since I played the viola for a bit and since I'm German. 😂 Great video as always ☺️
Because of his self deprecating wit, I think that is is easy to forget that he is a truly talented man. Well Done Philip for attempting to play that priceless violin, and to you all for supporting the renovation of that beautiful church.
Wow, the music, Philipp...and the baroque violinists were stunningly incredible as well! :D May all the funds needed to restore that beautiful church be easily raised, and the work carried out perfectly. Love Jacqueline from New Zealand xox P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PHILIPP!
Wow! Wonderful vlog. Thank you for showing us such a gorgeous concert. What a treat and what a wonderful thing to do for your community. The chateau looks so beautiful at night. You all did an amazing job on the reception, too. I loved your use of the barrels and old bottles-a lovely touch! You all have so many talents-in addition to your DIY skills, you are the perfect host and hostess. Well done by all!! The music was so special and on such special instruments. I enjoyed it so much! Have a good week!
Philip and Anna we are from the US and stop to have lunch in Honfleur on Saturday and swung by and peeked in on you all having lunch. Didn’t want to impose so We visited St.Martin and left a bit of Euro. Didn’t realize we were contributing to your next project until Sundays post!!! We will be visiting again next year and hope to be able to stay with you all as you were sold out this time!!!😏 love what you and Anna do each week!! Thank you so much!!!
Another fabulous vlog. I really hope the church gets saved and you managed to raised some important funds. Well done. You know now you will be asked to do the event every year. Great job.
That was a lovely surprise, I was expecting to see more construction work and got a splendid concert. It was such a happy atmosphere with the circle of cordial people that you have built over the years. Spending such moments together is what it is really all about. I am also sure that these old houses "feel" it when life comes back into them, when people meet up, dance, make music, it is like waking it up. The musicians were awesome as well!
Not only are you two amazing, but with your energy you attract incredibly interesting and kind people to your chateau. After each episode, I feel the desire to meet you and all the wonderful people who enrich your everyday life. Hopefully, I'll be able to make that wish come true in the next few years.
A beautifully moving video ... full of respect and wonder. The music was sublime ... genius simplicity. You too Philipp 😉 Here's to the church receiving the same care as your chateau. Bravo to you two.
Awww, I also played violin for almost a year when I was a child but I was awful and also, I never had a quiet space at home where to practice. BUT, you will never forget the posture, because teachers at the conservatory are so strict that it comes back as a natural reflex after a while. Excellent video, bravo Philipp!
Thank you for including us in the audience of a beautiful concert! I, too, played violin as a child, and still have my grandfather’s violin. He was a church organist and composer in New York City in the early 20th century. I switch to singing by high school and never looked back😆
What a great thing to do. I didn't care at all that you forgot to film the 'after-show'. In fact, I think it's often better for something like this to just play out as it happens, without video cameras present. I just hope you were able to connect with people in your local area and raise money for the beautiful church building.
the Beautiful Music along with the fundraiser for the church is so lovely to see, it felt like a look back in time , Loved it ! and EVERYONE looked beautiful too !
How incredible! I loved the entire video: The music, the lovely food, and the garden's appearance. I'm so inspired! Thank you for such a wonderful visit and concert!
Oh that beautiful church deserves to be looked after. What marvellous community members you and Anna are Philipp. Benoit is a natural in front of the camera as is Nathan. Fabulous music and the chateau path all lit up looked fabulous. Well done Chateau le Fleur.
While Phillip is in character it can be easy to forget what a genuinely sweet guy he is. Excellent work of community service Anna and Phillip, we hope your efforts result in the full restoration of the village church.
It is wonderful to see the inhabitants of the chateau taking the leadership role in the community again. Love from Canada
I have a feeling Phillip is the guy we watch and not a character that he plays. So good to see a couple that use humor in their marriage.
These are absolutely fantastic people, and they have a wonderful partnership. Something to strive for, people!
Those violinists are just INSANELY talented, and the music was so so beautiful.
Feel privileged to hear such beautiful playing in such an historic church with excellent acoustics. Bravo to Philipp contributing to the community in such a classy way.

Were they playing Bach? It sounded like Bach.
@@mizzmolly7649 Not sure!
@@mizzmolly7649 it's La Furstemberg! Most famously by Purcell, but there are a few versions out there.
@@matthewlinaman Thanks. I used to play the violin and I've never heard of La Furstemberg.
What charming violinists!! Such warm, lovely and humble maestros. Their talent out of this WORLD!! 🎻 👌🏼
Congratulations on your speech Philip loved the fact you got an opportunity to help the community and church x

Beautiful church, so glad your town is working to save it.
This was such a lovely idea! Sharing beautiful music is a wonderful gift to your community 💕

Also, the Baroque music in your Baroque chateau sounded perfect!!
exactly! you should have had the concert in your chateau!!!
Great speech Philipp. The Chateau looked beautiful. Everything was well done. The church is definitely worth restoring. So beautiful. Many thanks for letting us join the party.
How beautiful, this music is so touching. That was certainly a special event!

What a lovely interlude from your renovation work! Sweet to see the community come together.
This was beautiful! The people, the food and especially the musicians and the music they produced was a dream to watch and hear. Congratulations on another brilliant vlog and thank you for sharing. All the best.
No Words !!!
Wonderful!!!🥰
I had to laugh so hard when Philipp played 'Alle Meine Entchen'. Especially since he was sliding up on the string instead of changing onto the next higher string. I would have done exactly same since I played the viola for a bit and since I'm German. 😂
Great video as always ☺️
Me too. Isn't "Alle meine Entchen" also the first thing kids learn on every instrument?😂
Because of his self deprecating wit, I think that is is easy to forget that he is a truly talented man. Well Done Philip for attempting to play that priceless violin, and to you all for supporting the renovation of that beautiful church.
Well done Phillip and Anna for helping out your community with fund raising for your church.
Wow, the music, Philipp...and the baroque violinists were stunningly incredible as well! :D
May all the funds needed to restore that beautiful church be easily raised, and the work carried out perfectly.
Love Jacqueline from New Zealand xox
P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PHILIPP!
Oh my Phillipp u did so well with your playing. It brought tears to my eyes.
Wow! Wonderful vlog. Thank you for showing us such a gorgeous concert. What a treat and what a wonderful thing to do for your community. The chateau looks so beautiful at night. You all did an amazing job on the reception, too. I loved your use of the barrels and old bottles-a lovely touch! You all have so many talents-in addition to your DIY skills, you are the perfect host and hostess. Well done by all!! The music was so special and on such special instruments. I enjoyed it so much! Have a good week!
How wonderful that you are organizing and hosting this event. Bravo!
Wow! What a wonderful event and cause! Well Done, Anna and Phillip!
Philip and Anna we are from the US and stop to have lunch in Honfleur on Saturday and swung by and peeked in on you all having lunch. Didn’t want to impose so We visited St.Martin and left a bit of Euro. Didn’t realize we were contributing to your next project until Sundays post!!! We will be visiting again next year and hope to be able to stay with you all as you were sold out this time!!!😏 love what you and Anna do each week!! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks a lot! We hope the heritage society raises enough, so they can do all the necessary work! Thanks also for respecting our privacy:)
Another fabulous vlog. I really hope the church gets saved and you managed to raised some important funds. Well done. You know now you will be asked to do the event every year. Great job.
Isn't it funny that when beautiful music is played, you just listen. Thank you for sharing.
That was a lovely surprise, I was expecting to see more construction work and got a splendid concert. It was such a happy atmosphere with the circle of cordial people that you have built over the years. Spending such moments together is what it is really all about. I am also sure that these old houses "feel" it when life comes back into them, when people meet up, dance, make music, it is like waking it up. The musicians were awesome as well!
Beautiful, just beautiful the music, the cause, the effort…and many happy returns Philip on the occasion of your Birthday!
Not only are you two amazing, but with your energy you attract incredibly interesting and kind people to your chateau. After each episode, I feel the desire to meet you and all the wonderful people who enrich your everyday life. Hopefully, I'll be able to make that wish come true in the next few years.
What a lovely event. Well done. I'm impressed Philippe..you played well.
Happy birthday,Philipp! May you enjoy many more birthdays to come ,with Anna and your girls!
A beautifully moving video ... full of respect and wonder. The music was sublime ... genius simplicity. You too Philipp 😉 Here's to the church receiving the same care as your chateau. Bravo to you two.
Awww, I also played violin for almost a year when I was a child but I was awful and also, I never had a quiet space at home where to practice. BUT, you will never forget the posture, because teachers at the conservatory are so strict that it comes back as a natural reflex after a while. Excellent video, bravo Philipp!
Exactly😅
THIS! is the life everyone wants to live! You guys are me heroes!!
Thank you for including us in the audience of a beautiful concert! I, too, played violin as a child, and still have my grandfather’s violin. He was a church organist and composer in New York City in the early 20th century. I switch to singing by high school and never looked back😆
This put a smile on my face for the whole 21:56 minutes. Thank you so much! This was lovely!
Thrilled to hear such exquisite music played on gorgeous instruments in the beauriful chapel. Bravo Philipp and Bon anniversaire!
What a great thing to do. I didn't care at all that you forgot to film the 'after-show'. In fact, I think it's often better for something like this to just play out as it happens, without video cameras present. I just hope you were able to connect with people in your local area and raise money for the beautiful church building.
the Beautiful Music along with the fundraiser for the church is so lovely to see, it felt like a look back in time , Loved it ! and EVERYONE looked beautiful too !
How incredible! I loved the entire video: The music, the lovely food, and the garden's appearance. I'm so inspired! Thank you for such a wonderful visit and concert!
Such an impressive vlog
Happy Mother’s Day to Anna and happy birthday Philip ❤️💙🌹
Well done all, such beautiful music. And a lovely Church
Oh that beautiful church deserves to be looked after. What marvellous community members you and Anna are Philipp. Benoit is a natural in front of the camera as is Nathan. Fabulous music and the chateau path all lit up looked fabulous. Well done Chateau le Fleur.
