BBC Proms 1995 Vaughan Williams The Lark Ascending

[@raybede]

Tasmin herself says that this is her most favourite playing of this beautiful piece and I can see why. I am moved very deeply each and every time that I hear it.

[@winifredbradley9907]

The absolute best version of this piece So beautiful had me in tears

[@glagolitic]

I wish, I dearly wish, that a recording of this concert would surface with HiFi sound. I was eleven when I recorded this. If I'd appreciated the value then as I do now, things would be different.

[@MAFussell]

Why no more comments than this? Little performs one of the very best versions of this classic. It is full and majestic, with so much richness in her phrasing. Absolutely wonderful! And yes, many technical flaws in this recording, but the soul of the performance is clear and breathtaking.

[@glagolitic]

Thanks. :) I mean, yes, the sound is rough. I know it, you know it, everybody knows it. I post these videos for the performance - and I really think this is a good performance, worth hearing, even in wartime sound quality. Someone out there was surely recording this concert with a better VCR than I had in 1995. I always hope that one of those good people will get in touch with me.

[@Tasminviolin]

Thank you for your lovely compliments - this performance is about to be on a limited edition cover CD for BBC music magazine. I think they'll make sure the sound is up to par :)

[@MAFussell]

@@Tasminviolin Thank you so much! I have signed up for the newsletter and look forward to hearing a clean version of this wonderful performance.

[@Tasminviolin]

@@MAFussell I also recorded it twice with Andrew - the 2nd version on Chandos is the better version :)

[@MAFussell]

@@Tasminviolin Yes, I have the Chandos version. That's when I first heard you and have become such an admirer of your playing. I have 7 versions of the lark and yours is always one of my favorites!

Amazing version, really captures the feeling of a wild Lark rising over a rugged landscape. Wild and Free ,

[@shin-i-chikozima]

I find the peace in the melody of the violin which takes on pathos and nostalgia . This song has something deep to soothe and warms . It purifies my soul of a lot of idle thoughts

[@kimsteel366]

I LOVE this version. Rich, voluptuous tone. Tasmin breathes such life into this piece. In tears listening to this...

[@melottagz7293]

beautiful...

[@andrewroberts8139]

My claim to fame is that I was friends with Tasmin Little for a while on FB and then she unfriended me! No-one plays English music like her though

[@Tasminviolin]

Hi Andrew, thanks for the compliment! To be honest, I don't remember unfriending you - it was probably my lack of Facebook know-how! :) All the best!

[@guilhermelima2843]

What is her name, please?

[@scrumpy82]

gui lima Tasmin Little.

[@MrFpam]

It's in the Description!

[@lucys1016]

My favourite version ever!

[@jamesstuart5904]

Sir Andrew Davis is conducting. Not certain of the orchestra.

[@The1alienx]

James Stuart It is the BBC Symphony Orchestra with my friend, the late Keith Gurry in the second violins.When I asked him what happened to the two triangle entries, he shrugged and said, Tasmin thought that was hilarious. alan

[@jamesstuart5904]

The1alienx Many thanks for the info : )

[@andrewroberts8139]

+James Stuart They are not conducting :)

[@jamesstuart5904]

Andrew Roberts- sorry, I'm confused. Who isn't conducting?

[@gwendolynchambrun5996]

Transcendent.
