Incredible

THE BEST RENDITION EVER....!!!

Man looks like he's run a marathon before rushing over to conduct. Probably a good sign because this shows how passionate he is

The more tunes I discover of hers, the more I like her music.

I miss the tuba at the end. Top heavy.

Magnificent

My favorite X-mas song

A Neverending Joy to hear this Preciose Song all The Years when Christmas come,a Lovely Same procedure every Years ,Thank you J.T.,T.f.U

🗣 This is *BEST* version A Christmas Song

I remember this from when my older brothers bought 45's. Thank you for posting! Beautiful video.

As a Christian myself I must honestly say that this is one of those songs which makes perfectly clear and in no uncertain terms the true meaning of Christmas, and the real reason for the season; and we all must never forget that!!

we do well to remember the things He later said, Jesus said " blessed are you if you do them" ( john 13:17)

Great Song

Love this woman , songs of life

Iris und John unerreicht!

Such a song- thank you Iris!

❤

Gergiev is a mad man and brilliant

PURA MAGIA 🌷

PURA MAGIA 🤍

The beat reminds me of City of New Orleans.

I skipped a lot of classes listening to them in the seventies. Saw them once at the old stadium in Minneapolis..

If she got more air time, she'd be more popular. Those who have heard her, love her singing.

the best singer in the world. period.

Iris is an amazing singer, no one like her!! Love Iris!!!

Love it thank you

It's interesting listening to all those sostenuto chords when, if you take a listen to Stravinsky himself, we wants them so short and dry. I remember being shocked by Stravinsky the first time - but now it sounds invariably right! Start at 11'15" czcams.com/video/IrMGqAmjbug/video.html

Great singer and writer👏👏

This Woman makes me cry, that's all I need say! Xx

The more I listen to Iris the more I realize what a phenomenal writer she is! She has written so many great songs that are enjoyed around the world. Thank you Iris!

A cold wind against my shoulder woke me up in the middle of the night An Autumn leaf was scraping against my window Like it was trying hard to get inside And then a ghost that I had met before kept me up till dawn And everything I thought was right was suddenly all wrong He said, "Your score is looking pretty bad" And then he asked me what it was that I had to show So I went running down a list of things Some were real, but on some of them I lied 'Cause I felt I had to justify each breath that I'd been breathing in this life Then I realized I was playing into someone else's rules Trying to keep my score up in a game I did not choose Then I looked that ghost straight in the eye And said "You'd better not be coming back by again" And it's true that I don't work near as hard As you tell me that I'm supposed to I don't run as fast as I could But I live just the way I want to And that's the way I should October's leaves were dancing 'round Like angels dressed in robes of Red and Gold But November's come and gone now And they're lying in the gutter out along the road They're gonna make their way out to the ditch or someday to the sea They'll get to where they're going without the help of you or me And if each life is just a grain of sand I'm telling you man, this grain of sand is mine And it's true that I don't work near as hard As you tell me that I'm supposed to I don't run as fast as I could But I live just the way I want to And that's the way I should But I live just the way I want to And that's the way I should

Is it just me, or does it suddenly look like Jack Nicholson (in "The Shining") is conducting Firebird at 4:27 ?

How did how did he pass away

1972 was NOT the original. This song first emerged as the flip side of the "Love Story" single which I bought shortly before Christmas 1968

JT aka Ian Anderson...One of the best...ever!

very pleasant, attractive lady...

Shower, shower, shower

I love Iris Dement. She is one talented lady. And right easy on the eyes as well... 😉

My question is why is he sweating so much

I am 68 years old and I am just discovering this wonderful musician thanks to Michael Moore.

I have the upbeat part as my ringtone. I still get chills thinking of Yes taking the stage back in the seventies.

Why are there no women in the orchestra?

Pffff...... who says 3:23 should be take slowly. Not Gergiev. No sir. And he's who I put my faith in when it comes to the Russian arts.

Lovely

Where's the women musicians? Not good nuff? Lol

Now think of how Yes uses this glorious finale as an Opening for their live performances.

Vielen Dank mein Freund für diesen "Hinweis"; das war ja wohl mein größtes Erlebnis der orchestralischen Sinfonie, mir fehlen peinlicher weise die Worte.

He holds that last note an insanely long time, but it is perfect!

Magic voice, beautiful song, superb album an best of Iris, so special to meet Iris at Basement in Sydney

0:48 the 2nd violins note sounds HAUNTINGLY beautiful.
