Your music breaks open another dimension where the phrasing of your execution adds color and flavor to the ears of the listener's thoughts and imagination. Thank you.
Nadia, your father's heart must be overcome with joy for every beautiful note you play as well as all the angels of heaven. This song is too beautiful for this world.
This is just so sublime...it transports me into another world! Tears, shivers and joy...this is surely a healing balm for a grieving world...."Thank you" seems not nearly enough to say, to appreciate all your beautiful compositions! You are amazing and inspiring dear Nadia🙏🌟 Finding your exquisite music has catalyzed me to buy a beginner harp! Thank you so so so much for all you share to uplift our soulsXxx❤️🌟💫
Dear Amata, thank you for your kind words. So wonderful to read that you are starting a journey on the harp as well! Enjoy every bit of it! Take care, Nadia
What wonderful music dear Nadia, we can expect at any time to see little fairies come out from everywhere to engage in a beautiful dance. Thank you and congratulations for this superb musical moment. Musical friendships Phil
@@nadiabirkenstock_harpsong With pleasure, we feel your communion with nature, it's very pure and one day I dream of studying the harp but my guitarist nails are incompatible with this beautiful instrument that is the harp
As I listen to this music I'm having these visions of a little caravan of fairy beings, going steadily on a road surrounded by huge trees (I almost can smell their barks), a creek nearby, birds chirping overhead... Your composition & performance sets one in the mood for dreaming.
Another wonderful suite by Nadia. They are wonderful, inspired, articulated compositions that sound beautifully for Harp but would sound just as well for string quartet or large orchestra. Beautiful!
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Your compositions are incredible, and I love watching you play. You are a big inspiration to me as a young harpist. Thanks for sharing your music!
This is absolutely my favorite song of yours. I wish you had it on CD 'cause I would buy it in a heartbeat! Maybe you can look into putting into one of your new albums. I'd love that!
Hi sugarfalls1, this piece is 1:1 on my latest album "Whispering Woods". You can also listen to the whole album on Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/79oehYiTJtgC1Q73qouxDD?si=ITrSGok2QV2AV-SAS7zlvA
@@nadiabirkenstock_harpsong Oh, Danke! I will definitely be getting some of your CDs so I can listen to you in the car, etc. Can you speak French and English fluently? That is quite an accomplishment plus being a harpist and composer! As long as you're playing music and writing pieces, I will definitely be listening! :)
Oh Nadia - this is so good! The music, the playing, the writing and of course the video itself which is a cinematographic work of art. Very tasteful backing track as well. The look of pure joy says it all. You feel every note. An example to every musician around the world. I love the way you play with such controlled power. You make every note count. Crisp and true. Once this madness has finished do you have any plans to come to the UK to perform? Only 5k subscribers? Ridiculous!!! Thank you so much for sharing this. From one musician to another - very, very well done!!!x
Dear Daddy Long Les, thank you so much for your beautiful message, I really appreciate it and I am so happy that we can connect through music in these mad and strange times. Putting audio and visual together in my music is a great passion for me. At the moment there are no travel plans for the UK, sadly, but let's see, when the madness is over, I can't wait to travel and do live concerts again. Stay safe, much love, Nadia
THE HEART MAY NEED LOVE , BUT THE SOUL , THE SPIRIT OF EVERY PERSON NEEDS BEAUTIFUL , SOOTHING MUSIC TO HEAL WOUNDS CAUSED BY CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL!!! THIS MAGNIFICENT INTERLUDE OF HAPPINESS WILL NEVER LOSE ITS SIGNIFICANCE!!!V.W.
Thank you 🤗 I guess, if you have smart listeners that use words like „inquisitive“ (which I had to translate into German, I must admit), you are on the right track somehow 😃
Wonderful melody and performance. I heard recently an interview you gave where you mentioned the strong influence Kim Robertson has been on your music. I sense a similarity to your styles and musicality. It's not easy to articulate, but perhaps it's your tonal quality. Whatever it is, you're a lovely harpist.
Dear David, thank you! 🥰 yes, Kim Robertson was one of my biggest influences. I was lucky to attend one of her workshops in Germany in my early 20s. She taught us what whe meant by "focusing on the essence of the melody" and tone beauty and inspired me deeply, also in the way she arranged creatively.
Oh, Nadia! Once more, you grabbed my heart and gave it a tight and welcome squeeze. You music is so poignant -- melancholy and uplifting at the same time. And I love the percussion! :-) One small quibble, though. Could you redo this and put an inset of the percussionist in the corner of the screen? Love you!
Schreibst you die pieces alle selber? Ich liebe dieses Gefühl wenn die Energie/Strings an meinen Füßen gezogen wird. Sehr feine Arbeit, Nadia. Spitzenklasse. Top.

Beautiful and inspiring! Thank you! And lovely sounding harp! What type is it? Also love the way you can carry it so effortlessly. I have a Starfish harp, but I don´t think I could strap it on.. a bit too big. :) Lots of love from Norway
Hi Julie & Andreas, this harp is very lightweight, especially made for strapping it on, jut 4,5 kg. It was made by Bernhard Schmidt. All details are in the video description. Love from France!
The harp was made by Bernhard Schmidt. He sadly passed away way too early, he was a great harpmaker, and he is very much missed. A collegue of him continues to build the beautiful "Iona" harp, though.
The sun, the trees, blue sky, leaves on the ground with moss, closeup of the harp strings, all add savory warmth to the piece!

Thank you so much! In fact, the place where I wrote it, next to this castle ruin on a warm September day, was very inspiring!
Thank You. It is Heavenly. God Bless.🙏
Thank you, Genoveva ❤️
Lively such that it makes the listener want to dance along with the melody and percussion.
That is fantastic! Thank you for this beautiful comment! 🤗
