This...
This piece..
Twitches my fingers,
It makes me want to write,
Not think about writing, nor about what to write,
Just write....
so sad ..just so sad ..this was Humans ..this is what we could do ...
This should have been a noble creature: he Hath all the energy which would have made A goodly frame of glorious elements, Had they been wisely mingled; as it is, It is an awful chaos-light and darkness- And mind and dust- and passions and pure thoughts, Mix'd, and contending without end or order, All dormant or destructive”...we should play this as the World blows to dust from Humane stupidity and greed..not since Ralph vaughan williams theme thomas tallis as a piece moved me so much ...thank you ..thank you ...
Exquisite.... What an unusual combination of instruments for this piece. How blessed was Lhasa to have this played at her birthday....
I love how the scene was faded out towards the end & superimposed with the surrounding countryside.... like a memory in the mists of time....
if every child in the world would ever have birthdays like this everything would be better
Listening to children playing and laughing makes this song just perfect, since this notes speak of pureness and innocence...
There will come a day, for all of us, when our thoughts, our ideas, our opinions and our words will cease. When that time occurs Truth will arise. This music prepares us for such an event. To those who look backwards and say, ‘If only . . . . . ‘, I say, look forwards and be ready.
One of my favourites pieces & I adore this version. This version is so gently tranquil, delicate, real & beautiful
Thank you,you lovely people, for doing this. This is what it means to be a human. So sorry it took my so many years to find it.
This was a tribute to the singer Lhasa de Sela who died in 2010. She had one of the most beautiful voices of recent times. Listen to The Living Road album especially.
The little kids would have grown up too be beautiful girls now...❣️
Has to be the very best version that will ever exist to me it comes ❤️ back to me at moments that mean the most like today I was driving back from the lake district I was on kayaking/ hiking mission and just as I'm lost in the beautiful lake district ❤️ I'm lost in the peice of eternally ever lasting moments that now exist in thy very mind heart and soul.💝💯🙏 magical ❤
Wow! This may be the most beautiful, moving performance of this piece I have ever experienced. So simple, and yet so moving.
At the end the little girl whispers "It's for you" and hands the harpist a flower.
This is so beautiful and just hearing the play of children in the background just, thank you so much
Happy birthday Lhasa! Thank´s for this beautiful video and music...
It's so beautiful. It's so peaceful. My heart grows into silence.
so lovely, and the children in the background make it seem so natural
This could be my favourite youtube video ever
Then you haven't seen very many in the infinite sphere of a heart beat.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful intimate moment in time. I'm sure it has brought joy to many others. This is way beyond "like" or "subscribe." This is beyond words. Oh my...
Wasn't to sure if I'd like this version but with the way it is shot with the single hand held camera and the kids playing and laughing in the background, it just draws you in. Well done and very well played in this slightly alternative version.
Because we love you. I still missed you my wonderful girl
clearly something between haunting and infinity.
This is the best version I have heard.
Thank you all.
Oh this cute disinterest of those children - so pure - so honest. Notice they "children" do not need to esacpe into music -- they have their own world. They do not need to feel the music, to feel better - they are happy as they are. I feel Sweet envy....
Bravo! Wonderful perspective of a composition I love.
I thought he child walking along the wall said more about the essence of this piece than anything I've ever read about it.
It'''s my playger, 0
The place I am right now... thinking of Lhasa every day, finding strength through her songs and person. Thank you Esmerine.
11.44 mins of absolute joy - so peaceful
And calming
endless poetry
At first I wasn't sure about this - and then the natural nature of it and the different approach to this great piece, the children playing the wonderful setting, well, it's simply magical! Well done!
I returned to this because it came up in a play list. I hadn't listened to it in ages. I'm still loving it!
Perfect. No more needs to be said.
Stunning in its simplicity!
I find comfort and a mental sanctuary from all the senseless fear and hatred unleashed by the attacks in Paris in this presentation of Mirror in a Mirror. It seems to define humanity and our longing to seek peace. It raises the question of why we hate and fear, when we are all in this together. It is recognizing we are all one and healing from the pain and suffering of our existence. It is us rather than me. Extending that hand of assistance and empathy and remembering to see the face of humanity when we look into the face of a baby/young child.
This is the most calming piece I've ever listened to
I don't know if I would have been any different but oh to have had a childhood like this to look back on, makes me cry every time I watch it.
As Tom Wolfe says: "It's never too late to have a happy childhood."
I agree, so beautiful. So fkn beautiful!
Merveilleux moment de beauté, d'enfance, de nature et de lenteur bienfaisante
Love this, had this played at my gran's funeral and will have it at mine
Make time to smell a rose, Make time to listen to this ...So Superb ! Thank you ...
Simply beautiful music and setting!! hello from covid 2020 england hope everybody is well. Peace x
OH MY..JUST PERFECT.And the childrens glee as they play. oh my...
Great!Greetings from Jazznet Spandau!Anti- Corona-Song........
incredibly beautiful!
Moving, inspiring, meditative, therapeutic! A glorious version of this Arvo Pärt composition and beautiful hommage to unforgettable Lhasa!
Well put 🥰
I discovered this on my daughter’s 32nd. Birthday.
Beautifully moving.
Чудесное видео и музыка - прекрасное звучание!
Раньше слышала,только на фортепиано.
You cannot beat this one!
Es la versión más bella que he escuchado y visto de esta composición. Jamás la complicidad de las notas entre los ejecutantes, el escenario magnífico de la campiña francesa en verano, los niños, las personas en segundo plano y el camarógrafo, habían creado una obra así de sencilla y de impactante. Creo que han logrado transmitirnos un aspecto esencial del sentido de la existencia: la convivencia, la fraternidad, la comunión, la armonía. a través del arte. Me recuerda un poco la profundidad y el sentido de la autenticidad que tienen algunos films rusos de la época soviética, en particular de Tarkowsky. Esta versión de Arvo Pärt transpira amor e intensidad con un máximo de sencillez y de belleza. Me sacó las lágrimas. Je vous félicite, amis, c'est un de plus forts moments du point de vu émotionnel que j'ai connu depuis long temps, et un de plus beaux videos en RUclips. Merci de tout mon coeur.
I could listen to this all day long
Most elegant version ever.
I didn't ever think to use a bow on a xylophone :/)
+DrSiget Marimba. :) But close...and I agree with you.
+DrSiget , My first time seeing that too. It's a beautiful sound!
Arvo would buy this recording!
scene: Arvo and Nora holding hands, Nora's gaze fixed on Arvo, drowned in adoration, as he watches a rustic rendition of a simple song he once dreamed. Nora sees the moment, the very moment, when, with his single tear Arno realizes in the whispers of the children's laughter that he will live forever. Nora smiles.
just perfect... just perfect...
This is the most beatyfull music
Simply magical.
just so peaceful a world makes sense
It helps my kids to fall asleep. GREAT music.
Pomaga moim dziecią zasnąć. Wspaniła muzyka.
Because we love you. I still missed you my wonderful girl
I wish Lhasa is well and healthy right now.
beautiful performance, one of my favorite versions of Pärt's Spiegel im Spiegel. Thanks for sharing this beautiful video.
i am amazed by how consistent and sustained the bowed marimba is... super impressive
ok. je vais pleurer.
je vais pleurer avec toi alors!
One magical and peaceful moment.
Wonderful beauty .
una delle versioni più suggestive , molto rallentata del celebre brano di Arvo Part, l'arpa ha un ruolo importante e non fa affatto rimpiangere il pianoforte
Interprétation très intéressante! Merci!
Que vois-tu dans ton miroir ?
Que vois-tu de tes yeux noirs ?
Une fois t'apercevoir.
Te crier mon désespoir,
Toi au matin, moi au soir.
(J. de Blaize - 1995)
What do you see in your mirror ?
What do you see in black eyes ?
Once you see.
Cry to you my despair,
You in the morning, my evening.
(Jean de Blaize - 1995)
Was siehst du in deinem spiegel ?
Was siehst du von dienen schwarzen Augen ?
Sobald du es siehst.
Schreie meine Verzweiflung,
Du am morgen, isch am Abend.
(Jean de Blaize - 1995)
Veab jalad alt.
So beautiful and in such a beautiful setting. Thanks.
Brilliant harmonic symphony...thank you! :)
Magnificent...sunbeams on hot sand, cool with that warm afterglow.
It is just beautiful, it is as simple as that!!
The best there is, whow
Merci pour ce magnifique moment!
now i've listened all the way through......a hearty bravo
Maravillosa versión, muy natural, muy humana!!! gracias
It might be interesting to hear this played with a Chinese erhu, which has a beautiful quality of sound.
Bows on a xylophone??? I never seen that before. But it sounds beautiful!
beautiful arrangement.....so glad i found it
beauty...
Some pebbles are never unearthed,
Though they lay shiny by the shore,
Caressed by the waters.
Hoping for a kid to pick it up; in awe,
Or a boy, as he rushes to gift it to his girl,
Or perhaps a dog, to sniff at it and carry it like a totem.
Just about anything that is capable of feeling,
That is truly alive to behold it,
That'd be it's purpose.
After being rounded smoothly at the edges by a billion waves,
Over many million years.
A pity to be left there, untouched.
Though the starry night sings melodies to its loneliness,
And promises each pebble that its beholder is in the womb,
Gathering consciousness, all that neurons that behold and define beauty.
And one day, they will be touched lovingly.
But those are lies, a majority of them wouldn't be picked,
The stars knew of it, also the ocean,
And every pebble knew it too.
They just don't thunk about it.
They lie about, dolling themselves up,
What peace just that thought brings, like poetry!

Wow!
Amo-te Sara. És pura vida que corre em mim. Adrenalina e Amor no meu coração! Liberdade para a minha Alma! És tu, és tu quem Amo. Amor Original.
:') que bonito, en todos los sentidos es perfecto.
the cello and the harp are really complimenting each other in this master piece tune rather than the cello/piano combo. a Great treat.
Bellissima musica, davvero suggestiva
piękne
Listening to this is like a wonderful memory that we have no more 😢😢 so touching!
a bow on the marimba: wow! At first I thought a glass harmonica was playing!
bow on vibraphone...very cool!
This was something special. Where was it filmed? :)
Château de Monthelon, in France
Thank you for this.
What the world could be without music ?
Music like this one ?
Förstör inte Pärti, lägg av!
wonderfull
Love this - where can buy the track ?
Maravilloso!!!! Creo que voy a llorar....
Does anyone know what the instrument the guy was playing that looked like an xylophone (from a distance) but was played with two bows?
Google search results said its Tuned Percussion likely Marimba sorry can't spell it. I also wondered wot he was playing didn't see piano unless it was in background away from camera this is very emotionally thought provoking Music moves oneself Soul to another dimension I can see why the Fiction medical drama Casualty used it for Doctor Winters suicide attempt that episode was so moving just shows us humans are just that you no your in for really epic awesome good tune regardless if its Religious or non Religious wen the musicians sway gently to beat close there eyes you can see they can feel the power and emotion in the notes and gone to different dimension unfortunately Music of today has no emotional connection to wot they are meant to be playing and or singing as so many can't sing to save themselves using horrendous racket of background music and or singers who mumble away, the music needs to get into our very own Souls to really feel it I love my music can't play instruments not just because I'm severely Disabled but History of it absolutely fascinates me I went to music museum with support worker I was just awestruck at wot things were avaliable at certain eras some looked like it took such great skills of learning to play them so amazing
So beautiful ❤
amazing, well done guys
are they Lhasa's sisters?
they were her band i think
