[@Martyprod2]

For the curious, I did a Piano / musical cover from a tune sung by Lara Fabian, called Adagio. it's there : kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3vHh4WBqJp_fZI

[@TheBamst]

Thank you so much!!!

[@cansubulbul2984]

I still don't believe that the American music lobby did not value this talent in '99. I live in Turkey, I am a Turk. I was 10 years old when Lara's English album was released. I used to listen to the song "I Will Love Again" on pop channels and knew it by heart. How could people be so bad and ruin someone's career? I'm 36 years old now and I'm still angry about what happened then. Lara Fabian is now 53 years old, but she still carries the same shine in both her heart and voice.

[@valdemarr.1470]

They say that a few years ago that ”The Industry”, via Celine Dion simply blocked Lara's career in North America... Rumors, gossip, fact?

[@wkuntjoro6130]

I am so familiar with Barbra Streisand's and love her version so much. Not many singers sing this song. I am glad that I listened to Lara Fabian's rendering of this song, she sang so beautifully. Both singers are fantastic.

[@ericsicard910]

Yes indeed. Lara is an absolute fan of Barbra and Barbra did cover a song from Lara called Broken Vow. There is also another Barbra cover that Lara made : a medley of Yentl that she performed live ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIibnZSifbKqrs0 ) and this is again amazing.

[@johnj.kalachuchi6495]

Gosh, They could have rocked the house if they did a duet together way back then. Their vocal chemistry is insane, they have similar vocal qualities, clear and pure.yet they were delivering the lines in their own style. . kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKTMZK2jrNSbpc0 here is Barbara`s rendition.

Thank you for this little gem. I had no idea she did more with Williams other than For Always. What a great performance! There are quite a few excellent singers, and there are a few legends. But Lara is in a class by herself. A true giant. I think Williams (a giant himself) gets it too.

Top video restoration 👍 Much better than the original video. High quality videos by Lara Fabian from this time are rare. In particular, the videos of her legendary concert "From Lara with love" from 2000 are not of good quality. I think the concert was only available on VHS back then. There is a digital full version of this concert on Vimeo, but in poor condition. I don't understand why PBS doesn't reissue the concert anyway. There would be thousands of buyers for this legendary concert by Lara Fabian. BTW in my opinion she is one of the best singers of our time, shortly after Streisand for me.

[@Martyprod2]

Hi, thank you ! the AI theme one is coming soon ! I tried to Restaure as well the From Lara with Love Concert, but unfortunatly Not all the camera shots give a good result, on some of them, Mrs Faban have a weird face, AI has his limits ;). some are great and some are not, same with her World music award performance. I did a special version (i'm a musician and own an another account to not mix both account) of the Adagio , restauring the lara with love part of the song and the WMA award performance as well, and recorded a kind of piano duet with her. it's "ok" for doing a small fun music video i think but not enough to launch a long restauration of the whole concert as it take a crazy amount of time to do, and the result would be only good on close up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3vHh4WBqJp_fZI PBS never reissued any John Williams concert or any other concert. Unfortunatly we have only these recording. i was fortunate, a friend of mine recorded it in digital directly from the tv in 2002 when i have been aware that Mrs Fabian would do one of the concert (i'm a crazy fan of Mr Williams). More the picture is good, better can be the restauration, that's why it's looking good ! for Mrs fabian, she only sings 2 songs, and there are a lot of copyright problems, not sure releasing officially a DVD/bluray of such a concert is easy. And Mr williams never was interested to have any of his concert released. it's only few months ago, that the first one has been released, the one in vienna. I agree with you of Mrs Fabian, she's one of the best definitively in this style next to her Hero, straisand. (i'm a jazz and pop/rock pianist, so in term of singer, i love other style not related to pop 90's/2000 Diva singer only ;) ). but in this style, she's in my top 5 definitively. i'm only loving very few tunes from Mrs Fabian, but i'm crazy of her voice since 20 years. Would have loved she met better producer and arranger/composer, especially after the end of her musical releationship with Rick Allison and Walter Afanasieff. I Love Adagio, Tout, J'y crois encore, and especially Broken Vow. (I'm French)

[@twojay3166]

@@Martyprod2 I had already thought of asking PBS, but it probably won't do any good anyway. I've also been a fan of John Williams for a long time, but only recently of Lara Fabian. (Shame on me 😅) I live in Germany, but close to the border with Belgium, Luxembourg and France. Lara Fabian is not well known in Germany. German taste in music is very much dominated by the American and English markets. Lara Fabian has essentially published her English-language music in Germany, although there are also many fans of French-language music in Germany. Her French-language music repertoire is much larger anyway. I discovered her for myself because her voice and her stage presence emerge like a beacon even today from the mass of singing artists in the music industry. She is really an extraordinary artist. No wonder John Williams also likes her. 😇

[@danielakeller7532]

Yes i completely agree with you.

[@Martyprod2]

@@twojay3166 We already tried to ask at PBS with no luck (We = jwfan.com). by curiosity how did you discovered her ?

[@twojay3166]

@@Martyprod2 I was on the internet doing a comparison between the voices of famous opera singers. During my research I came across Lara Fabian. The name sparked a memory in me and I realized that I had known it from the year 2000. At that time she had an English-language hit in Germany: I will love again - a really good dance pop song. I became curious and deepened my research on her. I first came across her concert "From Lara with love". I was immediately enthusiastic about her voice and her performance. I really can't remember when I've heard and seen anything like it before. Over the course of the next few weeks I listened to and watched other gigs and songs peu à peu. I stayed enthusiastic and became a fan. Her repertoire is so huge and so varied. Until today I haven't been able to listen to everything. I even started learning French again in order to better understand her texts myself. (I wanted to learn the language anyway, but never had enough motivation 😇 - actually still not good enough in speaking but better in understanding - I will continue) BTW Just abonated jwfans on Instagram

Lara fabian is such an under-rated vocalist ! She and Celine Dion both entered the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest, Celine won, and she lost. She didn't have such good luck as Celine did, really a shame. Maybe it's God's idea, you can not have two Celines at the same time.

@@Martyprod2 yes it’s a cover I believe that unless you are going to make it your own, something different Leave it alone Hence why so few top female singers have not done the song BTW I am a fan of Lara’s and have seen her in London and truly love her

[@Martyprod2]

@@swnotley Well there are different kind of covers. sometimes there is just isn't time to rehearsal or work the tune, certainly the arrangement was already done, and Fabian just came for the concert, doing a rehearsal in the morning, like it happened at the David foster and friends Concert etc.. The boston pops concert was that kind of concert. After, with some tunes, it's difficult to do his "own version" (I did a cover of this tune with the voice of Fabian and arranged it in Walter Afanasieff Style (i'll post it soon on my own channel at kzbin.info ) Anyway, I know Evergreen because two things. it was in my personnal gig sheet music book to play when i was a pianist doing gigs, and because of this version of Lara Fabian, I may have heard the tune sung by Barbra one time a long time ago, I almost don't remember her own version. I know it much more because it's a composition of Paul Williams. I think here, Lara Fabian wanted more to do a tribute than doing his own version of the song. When a tune is so much related to an artist, or his composer or singer, sometimes, doing a different version is difficult, But I agree, that a more personnal version would have been better, it's always better, but sometimes there is just no time for it depending of the concert and how it's done.

[@swnotley]

@@Martyprod2 as I said I am a fan of Lara I know she is a huge fan of Barbra and that Barbra even saw her live Adagio is brilliant as are many of her songs No offence intended Streisand is in My opinion the greatest ever female artist And Lara is right up there with the rest of the best

[@TTking9142]

@@swnotley I totally disagree. This version is better than Barbra ever did live. And i think Lara is way ahead Barbra. Barbra's voice is not so powerful and she has annoying vibrato, too strong. Lara also sings more different styles and different genres. And has a bigger range. Lara's voice is fuller and softer in every place of her register. Both has superb technique but Lara sounds much better. I'd say Lara is much higher than the rest of the best. And Barbra somewhere between.

Me gustas cuando cantas tus canciones Lara. No me gusta que hagas cover de nadie. Menos de Streissand. Creo que la sobrevaloran mucho. La ví en un tiempo de mi vida y me hace dormir.

[@Martyprod2]

i don't speak spanish sorry. Streisand is one , if not the main influence of Mrs Fabian. that's mean that maybe without streisand, Mrs Fabian would have not existed or maybe differently. Life can be weird. heroes and musical influence are very important, and can influence a life path a lot. i know this personnally (as a musician myself). Google Translator : no hablo español lo siento Streisand es una, si no la principal influencia de la Sra. Fabian. eso significa que tal vez sin streisand, la Sra. Fabian no habría existido o tal vez de manera diferente. La vida puede ser rara. los héroes y la influencia musical son muy importantes y pueden influir mucho en el camino de la vida. Lo sé personalmente (como músico yo mismo).

you're a pro-fanatic streisand fan, your comment has absolutly no interest. Music is not a contest. this is a cover, no to show that someone sing better than the other. at such a musicality with so much talent here on one stage, (John Williams on conducting and arrangement + the boston pops orchestra + the singer it's kind of comparing apple and pear. it's a mater of taste, it must be seen as two different versions, not "one is better than an another one". music is not a contest ! try to see it not as a contest and who is better, and you'll see you'll live in much more peace ! (beleive me on that one, music is my life as a musician producer, composer and arranger (I Recorded with some of Streisand musicians in my past.).
