Nigel Hess: theme to Ladies in Lavender

Here's another from our session with Laurence Kempton last Saturday afternoon. As ever, it is a real treat to accompany such an exquisitely lyrical and expressive violinist.

absolutely gorgeous and executed so well by two talented musicians

[@revelation12_1]

I have heard other recordings of this work but none as moving. This violinist makes his instrument sing showing a whole depth and range of emotion. And the accompanying is equally as sensitive. Bravo!

[@johnfirrell887]

A much underrated composer - exquisite music played superbly - thank you all involved.

[@carindaamy6300]

This is my favorite performance of this piece on the entire internet! The setting and acoustics is amazing. The two musicians blended together perfectly! I’ve watched it like 20 times already!

[@Intelcoll]

Same!

[@musicatminch1670]

Glad you like it! We put it together during a break from Covid lockdowns using only the most basic equipment but the real thanks ho to Nigel Hess for his composition.

[@Zebraho1872]

Agreed! So lyrical and expressive !

[@edgardopineda3317]

The theme of the ladies in lavender is A Masterpiece. That simple A masterpiece, when you close your eyes and just listen to it, it elevate you to a higher dimension.

Excellent performance of this modern classical composition. An outstanding composition which should retain its popularity into the next millenia. Mr Nigel Hess should be extremely proud of this Magnus Opus.

[@derekstratton3037]

I loved It! Beautiful play, beautiful music! Thank you for sharing.

[@amylovendaal9732]

Amy Lovendaal I first heard this beautiful piece of music on ClassicFM and fell in love with it right away. I listen to "Ladies in Lavender" at least once a day, every day, (Joshua Bell's rendition); hence KZbin recommended this video (I guess) and : I love it !!! Great performance, gentlemen !

[@musicatminch1670]

Thanks! That's very nice of you.

[@roystewart4386]

An excellent composition,modern and beautifully performed. Don’t miss out listening to this superb theme.

[@DebraSokol]

The acoustics, and the gentlemen playing the piano and violin have such depth, gentleness, and extraordinary power and kindness! Every time I hear this performance I feel like I’m being transported to Heaven to be with our heavenly Father. I have said to friends that what I want most when I get to Heaven is to play the violin, viola, and cello. I’m sure they are looking down and smiling when they hear each and every one of your performances. Thank you so much and may God bless you both!❤ Debra S.

[@nigelhess6751]

A lovely performance - thank you!! 👏

[@musicatminch1670]

That's very kind of you. It's a very special piece for Laurence because it's his mother's favourite music - and she, very sadly, is not at all well. So thank you!

[@TomTom-ep1dl]

Calm and gentle piano and violin. Thank you so much.

[@Tip_Top]

One is playing in socks, the other in crocs!

[@musicatminch1670]

It’s what made us feel comfortable at the time! At least individually we weren’t wearing socks and crocs simultaneously. That is most definitely a bad look!

[@Tip_Top]

@@musicatminch1670 oh I dunno, crocs and socks 🧦 are cozy in winter. I love this video. I have watched it over a hundred times. Thanks 🙏 for sharing such joy 😊
