André Rieu & Mirusia - Botany Bay (Live in Melbourne)

[@sebasalgarins]

Im not even Australian -I’m Colombian- but why does Mirussia manage to make me cry. This is such a beautiful piece and performance.

[@brontewcat]

This is a very slow version of- it is actually quite a ‘rollicking’ sing. That is it is usually sung quite fast and in a drunken manner.

[@guidoheuts]

I'm not an Australian, but what a wonderful song this is. Vocally, I am particularly enamored with female vocals in different styles of music such as classical, modern, opera, dance/trance, rock/metal and many more. This piece brings out the variety of Mirussia's excellent voice. As Andre said at her first performance; "This is the voice of an angel". And that is the absolute truth.

I am not one for classical music fair dinkum and crikey. But this man Andre has such a wonderful inspiring things of the love he does. You might say I have a Minecraft upon him. I think he's a genius the best classical musician I have ever known-in the last 100 years-no wonderful man how many to make me appreciate classical music the way I do now-fantastic beautiful wonderful man. Excellent he is when people say that they love music should they failed to mention this man's name-no respect shall they ever get from me?.

I always love to see these kinds of essential historical pieces paid their dues in musicality like this woman's wonderful voice and with proper accompaniment. Cheers Aussies 🍻 I'm about as Australian as bratwurst but I love you lads and Sheilas 🎉

Only Mirusia could sing this song with such feelings a true Australian does the arrangement justice Thank you Andre for bringing this rendition to Australia

[@michaelmallal9101]

Wow, as an Australian I love this song. I was near Botany Bay today. My great-grandparents migrated as free settlers from Orkney, Scotland to South Australia. Should be national anthem. We should not forget our humble roots as convicts, lest we are ensnared by hubris.

[@agnesnagy9594]

Yes sure

Coming to South Australia the song would have been We are bound for South Australia a song we all love.

[@michaelhayden725]

Fifty or a hundred years ago to have a convict ancestor was a badge of shame, today it’s a badge of honour. Mine arrived from Dublin, curtesy of the British King, in 1816.

[@r.w.felton6020]

I sang this song in since I was a child. I have sung it for over 50 yrs. I have never heard it done better. She is an angel with a public address system for a voice. She is not only on perfect pitch she has incredible volume.

[@johnsmith-ie6in]

The voice of a angel

[@artistjoh]

Possibly the first Australian song, it was first formally written down in the late nineteenth century, but that was based on a drinking song popular in Sydney and London in the 1780’s and 1790’s as transportation of convicts to Sydney was a new thing. It is appropriate that the song didn’t have a composer but organically grew in the drinking establishments of those poor people affected by transportation, and it meant enough to those people that it was kept alive in the community memory for a hundred years before a composer finally set it down on paper.
