Bravo! Amazing performance! Thank you, Norwegian Chamber Orchestra! ❤🤍💙💛

[@mrjackbenny]

Wow, beautiful interpretation. Thank you all so much 🇺🇦

[@_orange_coffee]

I didn't know much about this song. Some time ago, a radio program in Japan introduced the song and it says that this is the one of popular songs in Ukraine. I was overwhelmed how beautiful this music is, and I hope the war ends. Hope for Ukraine.

It's melody for the movie 1981 year.

Дякую вам за підтримку 😢❤

I heard the Estonian National Symphonic Orchestra perform this piece some nights ago and have been searching for it ever since. The NCO should be proud of their interpretation - by far the best I've heard. They have the strength of an orchestra five times their size. I've listened to many versions, but none have quite the depth of emotion called for by this achingly beautiful piece. Truly well done.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

This lament is about war in Europe, again. Never, since former Jugoslavia 1992, a people in Europe has suffered like this. We all thought that evil times were gone, but no. History repeats itself. All our hope and understanding goes today to the Ucraine people.

Very moving tribute - your support means a lot to us - thank you 🥹🙏🇺🇦

So much beauty lies in the melody…. Enough to melt hardest souls.

Knoxville Symphony presented this piece on 3/17/22 in support of Ukraine! It was wonderful.

[@wendyreeves1379]

I was there too, at the KSO. It was amazing, wasn’t it? Brought tears to our eyes….

[@maryxmas9921]

it took a full scale invasion of Ukraine for the world to notice that we exist and that we have a culture of our own. well, better late than never. also, truly beuatiful rendition of this classical Ukrainian melody. thank you. our Ukrainian pagan goddesses look upo you and smile warmly.

The violins/violas standing adds visual power because you see them swaying with the music

This piece is a soundtrack to the old ukrainian movie. As ukrainian films were strictly censored by soviet propaganda at that time, the music was supposed to express what the picture was not allowed to…

[@jacobnielsen1628]

Is this arrangement published? Beautiful

I cancel the Abo of NCO until you add a tribute to the starving children of Yemen. Cannot stand this hypocricy anymore.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

The Norwegian Chamber Orchestra has not the the power to make all in this world right. I am sure that they/we all are concerned about the starving in Jemen. The hypocricy you mention has to be mentioned and directed to politicians, not to musicians.

[@pellelarsen9718]

I am sorry you take our support to the Ukrainian people as hypocricy. We would really like to support both children in Jemen and all over the world who have a terrible situation. It's simply too many wars and too much suffering going on all over the world at the same time. I agree with you that there is a lot of hypocracy going on from both European countries, USA, Saudi Arabia +++. We are trying to focus on different crises and have been playing for Refugees from Syria and Africa, as we are also making childrens programmes for local children with multi cultural background. Some of our musicians are also supporting special programmes with music for chiildren in India. But sadly, we cannot reach out a hand to as many as our hearts want to. I kindly ask you for your understanding. If you have a melody from Jemen that we could play, I would be happy to give a musical greeting from us to them too. Best from Per Erik Kise Larsen, general manager of NCO

[@staffanolofsson8201]

@@pellelarsen9718 And I am very sorry that you completely misunderstand me. For me NCO stands for Norwegian Chamber Orchestra. I am not sure that you have something to do with them. And I trust this orchestra in their support for Ucraine, as I also have support, but I dont trust you Per Erik Kise Larsen!!!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

@@pellelarsen9718 And I am upraised to be suspicios. When you say "I am sorry you take our support to the Ukrainian people as hypocricy." then I react. Because I have never said such a thing. My first impuls in that you are a russian, employed on Internet to do what mr Putin wants you to do.
