I've been listening to it for five years, periodically coming back for another taste. Melancholy and hope, walking side by side, hand in hand. Brings tears to my eyes every single time. Thank you ...

[@markrudman6271]

Difficult to listen to without the tears flowing.

[@larrysherk]

I love Messiaen and this is the most compelling rendition of this I have ever heard. Thank God we still have serious explorers.

[@robertowarren7007]

What an AMAZING piece of music ❤ 👏 👏

[@MegaCirse]

Merci pour cette interprétation sublime. Elle montre qu'Olivier Messiaen est plus que le reflet d'une époque. C'est un astéroïde fantôme qui revient jeter son dévolu sur l'art sonore. Une onde décadente chargée de paradoxes d'où s'échappent l'obscurantisme et l'irrationnel, facteurs hypnotiques défiant les âmes vulnérables en quête d'absolu. Cette architecture sonore est un court tunnel qui mène à la lumière !

[@abonadocillejohnr.4502]

What i love about this is the solemnity of the background specially the taping of guitar and the invincible string of therimin.

[@PortalEMCioranBrasil]

Playing the Theremin looks as though it's like playing music in its pure form, as if one could magically produce music just by moving one's hand's in the hair, not touching the materiality of any instrument whatsoever. Notes, tones, melodies, harmonies rely upon very specific gestures and configurations of the hands in the air... The Theremin, or the metaphysical instrument.

[@PortalEMCioranBrasil]

@Karsyn Boston I couldnt care less

[@leandrogulrt]

For the first time, I feel motivated to write a piece for theremin. Greetings from Brazil. Thank you.

[@serenaklemm3894]

Meraviglioso ! Bravi ... adoro Messiaen ♥️

[@xaracrocker]

I got goosebumps listening to this! Absolutely breath taking performance.... still getting chills.

[@carolinaeyckvideos]

:)

[@MikkoPablo.]

It is so interesting and inspiring to hear this movement performed by an instrument so similar to the ondes martinot, the instrument it was originally composed for! And the bass is such a creative and beautiful touch!! Bravo! ❤

[@tharlessilva3070]

Obrigado por compartilhar.... Continue usando esse dom e talento para o Senhor... Que você sempre tenha paz e sucesso, Carolina Eyck. Saudações do Brasil!

[@TheDoyleAbides]

My god, this is such a beautiful and touching performance- brings tears to my eyes. Can’t wait to hear you in DC!

[@hesspet]

A great piece of theremin music and also a nice and not so common way to play a really smooth bass.

[@AlexSanchez-gw4eh]

Beautiful.

[@capnjackgallows3204]

Shes moves so gracefully , it's like shes weaving the notes via gesture alone , beautiful

[@mfd1512]

Wow - für mich als Cellisten eine hochinteressante Version dieses einzigartigen Satzes. Keine Sorgen um „unhörbare“ Bogenwechsel😉 Aber gerade deshalb ein bißchen schade, dass ein so flüssiges Tempo gewählt wurde: Messiaen schreibt ein extrem langsames Tempo vor, das man gerade mit dem Theremin wunderbar hätte realisieren können, um die Zeitlosigkeit dieser Musik noch eindrucksvoller zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Dennoch: Wie alle Videos von Ihnen, verehrte Frau Eyck, ein großartiger Hörgenuss - Bravo (auch für die tolle Idee mit dem E-Bass)👏👏👏💛

[@TheKichupa]

Went to bed to that, absolutely perfect. Merci

[@marblebugalex]

I didn't want this to end. Mesmerizing and beautiful.

[@vokha3870]

It’s interesting that this is what the composer intended, literally music for the end of time

[@robertowarren7007]

Wow

[@anastasijakokovic3565]

Absolutely fantastic, I really love the way you play theremin, it made me love the instrument, perfect!

[@justinpearson1970]

What an amazing idea to use an electric bass. It works so well.

[@antonio0apv]

Extremely beautiful, expressive theremin playing. I never thought I would hear a theremin sounding as dynamic and expressive as an Ondes Martenot. And the arrangement is awesome! The back playing harmonics only leaves much of the spectral space to the beautiful theremin. The whole production is quite good, thanks for sharing and congrats for the talent and good work!

[@MaximNovikovViolist]

very nice! amazing idea! Super!

[@sandrafernandes3543]

Absolutely amazing!

[@abnernoecalero7254]

Magnifico, encantador, Sublime cuales ondas recorren mi ser y calma mi ira. Eres la reina que controla la ondas electromagnéticas en belleza pura. Gracias por brindarnos la combinación perfecta de la FÍSICA con el ARTE. Un fuerte Abrazo desde NICARAGUA .

[@CMABhuppiSingh]

So peaceful

[@EthanKTufts]

great music great cinematography, i really enjoyed that

[@iincaendium]

It's wonderful! I fall in love with this music. (I don't speak english, so, sorry)

[@quietmind7476]

The best theremin post of 21st century playing!

[@jeffirwin7862]

Clicked for Carolin on the theremin, stayed for Messiaen. Didn't realize from the title that this was the best movement from Quatuor pour la fin du temps.

[@Mezzotenor]

There's an equally lovely movement at the end for violin and piano - Louange à l'Immortalité de Jésus.

[@francissadleir9805]

@@Mezzotenor true but no one ever mentions l'abime des oiseaux (the solo clarinet movement)

[@andrewkingsman4148]

I love watching your videos so much, they're are relaxing.

[@g-c-rambo]

That was beautiful and extremely calming. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent!

[@barefootalien]

So soothing and beautiful.

[@majasolveigkjelstrupratkje9824]

You are so great! Thank you so much!!

[@AlexanderSupertramp35]

fabuleux .. merci ! ♥

[@ZAWARUD00]

One of my favorite pieces :) Thanks for the performance

[@franjolu]

A very moving interpretation and performance. Thank you!

[@sidecars]

Superb. I loved that.

[@orpheusads]

Has this been recorded as a track online yet?

[@FrankJacobsTV]

The way she moves is almost as impressing as what it sounds like.

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

Wow, das war wunderschön!

[@giovanabonicio]

I'm just so in love with this! Is something transcendental, please come to Brasil 💙

[@JesseBFournier]

I forgot how absolutely haunting that piece is. Very good rendition!

[@kennethwebb7785]

Anyone who can play the theremin as Carolina does is a genius.Its ok playing an instument, stringed or otherwise,but to play an instrument that is virtually invisible is extraordinary.

[@parmapaulinho3305]

hypnotic

[@SWCcomposer]

Wow - that was remarkable.

[@Mezzotenor]

I had no idea at all that this combination could work, and now I'm wondering if I like it better than the original cello and piano.

[@GalisonLau]

Wonderful performance!!! It would be great if the bass is louder as his part has the color and some motives that Messiaen intended to put into. It is not too soft comparing to the melody on the theremin. Keep on the great work! It's terrific!!!!

[@johannesvonedelmann]

❤️♥️❤️!!!

[@raritet8937]

Как всегда круто

28 years later sound track ?

[@shapaco89]

Das war einfach aus einer anderen Dimension! Woher kommt Ihr?

[@carolinaeyckvideos]

aus Leipzig :)

[@edburns00]

Leipzig ist anders.

[@AriannaCunningham]

Very Beautiful! I would like to request you playing "Bach's Air from Orchestral Suite in D Major" Please?!

[@edburns00]

When I first heard Turangalila, I thought he was using a Theremin. But it turned out to be an Ondes Martenous.

[@Protonixum]

Martenot...

[@DaanSnqn]

Is there a specific theremin you can recommend for beginners?

[@PeteJohnson1471]

The Theremini is pretty good for learning on. As you can use it with or without pitch correction, or Scale mode sorta thing. So that you will only play notes in a particular scale and key. It's sorta useful, but I recently found a company in the UK that sell a lovely Theremin at lostvolts.com . It sounds nice, and the price is nice too. I hope this helps 4 months later ;-)

[@iamyazanshaheen9739]

omg icant belive this you are aowsem

Your music is touching it makes me want to play this instrument. But I

[@arfon2000]

Thank you 😀

[@davidthompson2283]

She's casting the music as though it were a spell. I've never seen or heard anything like that before.

[@tango_doggy]

nice

[@meochi9605]

Hello! Amazing video! So... Is it possible to play something like "child of light - lindsay stirling" on a Teremin? Thats should sound incredible :/

[@jeffirwin7862]

gtfo, this is classical music, not lindsay stirling shit

[@aureilussmagnus]

In the description " Quatuor pour la fin du temps" I put it on google translate. It was french language and i translated to English. It say Foursome for the end of time. It make me snort and giggle. lol xD. Yeah. Blame me for my dirty mind.

[@duffyoxopatt3950]

would be a cool way to end time though!

[@djshuffle9338]

It’s called a base a bass is a fish

[@tntpfs]

A base is a base, bass is a bass, a bass is a fish. You play a bass. You catch a bass

[@clarkgriswold1493]

The bass player looks bored to tears.

[@ruxandraibric3079]

too fast

[@ruxandraibric3079]

and out of tune

[@elalexander]

I'd like you to play it all perfectly tuned on a theremin. I mean, come on.
