Listening to children playing and laughing makes this song just perfect, since this notes speak of pureness and innocence...
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....
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.
This...
This piece..
Twitches my fingers,
It makes me want to write,
Not think about writing, nor about what to write,
Just write....
if every child in the world would ever have birthdays like this everything would be better
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 ❤
It's so beautiful. It's so peaceful. My heart grows into silence.
Because we love you. I still missed you my wonderful girl
The little kids would have grown up too be beautiful girls now...❣️
The place I am right now... thinking of Lhasa every day, finding strength through her songs and person. Thank you Esmerine.
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.
At the end the little girl whispers "It's for you" and hands the harpist a flower.
One of my favourites pieces & I adore this version. This version is so gently tranquil, delicate, real & beautiful
I could listen to this all day long
11.44 mins of absolute joy - so peaceful
And calming
OH MY..JUST PERFECT.And the childrens glee as they play. oh my...
Listening to this is like a wonderful memory that we have no more 😢😢 so touching!
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....
I discovered this on my daughter’s 32nd. Birthday.
Beautifully moving.
so lovely, and the children in the background make it seem so natural
This is the most calming piece I've ever listened to
Moving, inspiring, meditative, therapeutic! A glorious version of this Arvo Pärt composition and beautiful hommage to unforgettable Lhasa!
Well put 🥰
Happy birthday Lhasa! Thank´s for this beautiful video and music...
Wow! This may be the most beautiful, moving performance of this piece I have ever experienced. So simple, and yet so moving.
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 CZcams. Merci de tout mon coeur.
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.
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.
Merveilleux moment de beauté, d'enfance, de nature et de lenteur bienfaisante
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.
Most elegant version ever.
just so peaceful a world makes sense
i am amazed by how consistent and sustained the bowed marimba is... super impressive
You cannot beat this one!
clearly something between haunting and infinity.
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!
This is the best version I have heard.
Thank you all.
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!
Stunning in its simplicity!
This could be my favourite youtube video ever
Then you haven't seen very many in the infinite sphere of a heart beat.
Love this, had this played at my gran's funeral and will have it at mine
Perfect. No more needs to be said.
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
endless poetry
Make time to smell a rose, Make time to listen to this ...So Superb ! Thank you ...
the cello and the harp are really complimenting each other in this master piece tune rather than the cello/piano combo. a Great treat.
This is so beautiful and just hearing the play of children in the background just, thank you so much
Simply beautiful music and setting!! hello from covid 2020 england hope everybody is well. Peace x
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...
Simply magical.
One magical and peaceful moment.
It helps my kids to fall asleep. GREAT music.
Pomaga moim dziecią zasnąć. Wspaniła muzyka.
Чудесное видео и музыка - прекрасное звучание!
Раньше слышала,только на фортепиано.
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 ...
Magnificent...sunbeams on hot sand, cool with that warm afterglow.
Arvo would buy this recording!
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.
This is the most beatyfull music
Interprétation très intéressante! Merci!
What the world could be without music ?

So beautiful and in such a beautiful setting. Thanks.

It is just beautiful, it is as simple as that!!
This music puts together broken pieces of a mirror through my life and all its happenings, before the end
now i've listened all the way through......a hearty bravo
Great!Greetings from Jazznet Spandau!Anti- Corona-Song........
I wish Lhasa is well and healthy right now.
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
Merci pour ce magnifique moment!
Wonderful beauty .
Je n'ai jamais entendu quelque chose de plus belle. Ils ont mis leur coeur dedans.
I've never heard something more beautiful. Their heart they're putting into this magical music
