To people complaining about her moving, I'm pretty sure that's a normal thing to do. Whenever I play trombone, I move according to how my music is written and sounds. I'm just in the moment.

why complaining about the moving in the first place ? i just don't get it... as long as the interpretation is fine, why bother?

@@toucantoucan If you're playing solo that's ok, I think the complaining comes from the perspective of playing in an orchestra where you're sitting close to each other and might hit them.

WOW- this is the 1st time I've heard this arrangement for this incredible Faure piece. I wish I knew the proper terminology, but I don't- but the way that the flute and harp trade back & forth at certain points is just brilliant. I know this piece very well, and this is a new (to me, anyway), faithful yet cool way of playing it. VERY nice!👍👍

[@leroyjones6958]

There was, many many years ago a radio program that came on at midnight on our local classical music FM station WFMR, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, during the mid 1960s. I was just a young boy. I remember hearing this, the theme music for that late-night classical music program which was called "The Midnight Hour". On WFMR. In Milwaukee. So long ago.

[@mikewellwood1412]

By coincidence, it also used to be the theme music for a classical music programme on BBC which ran for many years, introduced by Jack Brymer, who was a popular and talented clarinetist and prolific broadcaster. He must have told us what the music was called, probably many times, but of course I had forgotten. I'd been looking for it on KZbin on and off for a few days, and by lucky chance, came across it tonight, and have been enjoying the various versions of it on YT. I'd wondered if the version I used to hear actually featured Jack on clarinet, but perhaps not; it may well have been a version featuring flute, which sounds gorgeous in this piece. If you don't know it, check out Fauré's Pavane Op. 50 which for some reason I always associate with this piece (and often confuse them in my memory, tbh).

[@susanarossi1245]

Gabriel Faure. Siciliana for flute and harp. Olga Zmanovskaya flute, Elizaveta Bushueva harp. Hermosos, arpegios que llegan al corazón!

[@paulryan3951]

My God. Stunningly beautiful. I want Heaven to be like this....

[@tuxguys]

These two marvelously-talented, gorgeous women should be classical Rock Stars. (Incidentally, this is one of my ten favorite pieces of Music, of all time.) Addendum: Listen to Faure's chord changes... They not only anticipate French Impressionism... They anticipate Jazz. (The hair on my arms will be raised for days.) Addenda, 3 years later: This piece was originally written, I believe, for solo cello and piano, but is much better known for its full orchestration; this arrangement, for flute and harp, is absolutely breathtaking. This piece, extracted from "Peleas et Melisande," does exactly what the best Art, in any medium does: It ennobles one with the sensual enjoyment it engenders, even as it makes one examine the Big Questions, most especially, one's place in the Scheme of Things.
