Caliph of Baghdad (Overture) - Boieldieu

[@marissamando]

Hi to all.... As I have posted elsewhere, Joel and I have been busy earning our livings after years of study, and have had to limit our playing together somewhat. We really enjoy it when we get to perform, and we expect that other opportunities will occur such as Duncan Gardiner's recent journey back to the early days of Queensland musical activities. Creating interesting videos has always been a challenge and we don't believe that everything we play is suitable for KZbin. I have been considering posting some earlier performances which at the time were considered to be less interesting for the audience, but in retrospect they may see the light of day yet. Many thanks for all the positive comments ... they are really appreciated. Marissa.

Marissa Carroll it's good to see you on KZbin Marissa you are one best mandolin players.I appreciate you so much. I am a mandolin player myself.

[@Enrikedintrans]

Trato de traducir, pero entiendo que como buenos artistas que son, aprecian los agradecidos comentarios de quienes disfrutamos de esta música. Es así, la perseverancia más el talento, producen estos maravillosos resultados. ¡Gracias!

[@Desigovia]

While I am not a mandolin player I have enjoyed these performances especially of Joel and yourself. I am an aged classical guitar tragic (didn't start to learn until I was 66) and wish I had at least a tiny smidgen of your talents. Please upload the performances to which you allude . I am sure they will be more than well received

@@WOKINTUSD We're like a gang.....mandolin players STAY UP (and study!)

[@ozjoey80]

Hi Marissa. We would love to hear more!! Please post up some earlier performances on your channel, if possible. Hope you are well and busy enjoying life :) Also I hope you play some more once again and keep your channel active. It’s truly Inspirational and amazing to me. Thank you!!! Joey from Sydney

Quelle joie d entendre cette interpretation de l ouverture de boildieu

[@ヤマキタマサノリの作曲編曲集]

Thank you for music that makes you feel light and happy!

[@bruceforrest2003]

Marissa, Your divertimento for 2 mandolins and guitar from Perth a dozen or so years ago is among my favorite pieces of music. I'm surprised it's not included in this KZbin site. Please add that and/or something new. 4 yrs! I hope we haven't lost you. Bruce Forrest, Boca Raton, FL, US.

[@65attila]

So beautiful are the music and performance. Thank you-John

[@jaimearevalo729]

a great pleasure to see and listen you again

[@ozjoey80]

We want you back !!!! My all time favourite, this is beautiful. Thank you. You bring Joy & Happiness. Joey from Sydney

[@alanturner3551]

Wonderful! So glad to see you back on KZbin, Marissa. I hope this is the first of many new videos! I love your playing and the passion with which you approach the music.

[@johnfenner347]

Absolutely beautiful !. A joy. Such delightful sounds !. Splendid ! x . Just an afterthought, it would be so nice if the video, had included just a little more time to take in the applause for the artists. So often the end of terrific performances are truncated x x.

[@alialpmetin7560]

What a nice ... It's a very harmonious quartet, sounds and timbre …

[@slatour0694]

Welcome back. I had given up hope on new vids. Beautiful music.

[@Enrikedintrans]

Muy agradecido de esta música maravillosa. El diálogo instrumental, el gusto y pasión que transmiten por la música es realmente bello, ¡muy bello!

[@moeharvard]

Wonderful piece Marissa, Love to hear you play Paisiello's cavatina from his Barber of Seville on the mandolin.

[@mariodanielineto4881]

Linda música e belíssima interpretação do grupo. Saudações do Brasil!

[@billbaynes3432]

[@jcgv6565]

[@plosmzudt]

Cara Marissa, dopo tanto ti rivedo assieme a Joel anche se non come speravo. nella formazione classica del vostro DUO.Ma sono contento.Spero che vi possa rivedere e riascoltarvi ancora presto Un abbraccio a te ed a Joel. :)))

[@彭晓武]

终于更新了，太好听了！

[@quigley4440]

Wonderful to have this performance. Joel looks comfortable with the mandolin. I would wish for more of these, be they less interesting or not.

[@ozjoey80]

Hi Marissa. Any inspiration to play again during these difficult times? Would be great to hear your music and enjoy...

[@Jmp153]

ozjoey80 yes please do Marissa! We love your music! It’s been a great joy to discover your KZbin channel recently. Thanks!

[@innacea5212]

Marissa and Joel. Come Back!!! Play a new song for all of us :)

[@evb-zc8cz]

在ins和twitter上都找不到你……不管你还发不发视频，看到你弹琴时自信的笑容，我就心安。

[@GeanieVincent]

Awesome! Does Duncan have this arrangement for sale somewhere?

[@ethanrado1604]

Marissa we NEED NEW MUSIC!

[@aaaaaaaaaaaas]

美しいですね。

[@marissamando]

どうもありがとうございました from Marissa

[@PeterCaudwell]

Wonderful, sound is great not sure about the lighting - makes you look very pale and seems to be directly on you. Shame there are no close ups.

[@marissamando]

Hi Peter..... you may be interested in this link kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3Tbm5KGYrKXsLM It's from Duncan's channel and uses 3 cameras. All the videos I have posted over the years were shot and edited by my Dad and only one camera was used with some post-production to keep them visually interesting where possible. Lighting in churches is always a challenge and usually isn't very flattering. Many thanks for watching and your comments. Regards... Marissa.

[@PeterCaudwell]

Marissa Carroll - sorry for being so critical. Best regards to your dad, he seems very dedicated, God bless him!

[@marissamando]

Thank You, Peter. No problem with your thoughtful comments. My Dad is also a Classical guitarist and we used to perform together. He was more than happy to hand over the musical side to Joel and concentrate on the videos. Incidentally, the link I included above seems to be broken and is replaced by this one (from Duncan Gardner's channel.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5maZoici7OMbbs

[@E8stringers]

ghent dear

[@cochirena5439]

Beautifully performing quartet. The piece, however, doesn't allow the brilliance of the once fantastic duet Marissa /Joel to emerge...

[@ozjoey80]

Amazing Marissa! Keep up the great music. I came across your talent after seeing Avi Avital in Sydney last year performing. Beautiful song below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4CtYZWprq6lr8U You both are inspirational people. Hope you come to Sydney to perform one day.

[@dannyolson8348]

Are you a lawyer now? Enjoy you're music

[@darrendix5163]

No way dude! You may suggest that Marrissa's playing has taken a back burner to the realities that be, but that can always change later.... Go pick on some silver spoon spoiled brat who never was made to walk the line! Nothing worse in this world than that. Nice piece, a little mellow, but hey! Marrissa and Joel will bust out more I'm sure. Congratulations on your hard work! It will reflect in "your" music!
