I'm glad the technical side of this does justice to the musicians! You can hear each instrument so well and really savor the sound. What an excellent version!

One of the best Nyman covers i know. Outstanding

[@MacJaxonManOfAction]

This video is more addictive than drinking three pots of coffee while binge-watching Breaking Bad and shooting meth.

[@silverkitty2503]

damn

[@pepijnschermer675]

And I didn't even know I liked this kind of music until I heard this. Blown away. Thank you for that.

[@zorngottes1778]

Im nächsten Leben werde ich Musiker. Es gibt nichts schöneres.

[@therthonherbertcheesebrush5348]

The best version of this I've ever heard.Superb.

[@knenda1]

I just keep coming back for this, it must be addiction ?

[@antoninf1730]

+Knen Da It sure is. Great track!

[@ChicChicken]

+Knen Da And an awesome addiction it is...

[@andrearitter5513]

+Antonin F Thanks :-)

[@DbR777]

SUPER beautiful version. You can really tell it's not Michael Nyman performing it because it sounds amazingly well and clean haha (with all my love for his messy versions, I've seen him live twice and I live for those performances).

[@user-lc3if6zk6h]

Невероятные! Восхитительные! Просто больше нет слов! ОБАЛДЕННО!!!

[@angelofrenia7213]

Примерно с такими же эмоциями сижу. Слов нет насколько офигенная музыка и насколько офигенно исполнена. С ума сойти можно!

[@voltuan]

The rythm and melody make us feel joyful and vibrate for the best !!

[@Drifter21031971]

I have no words! Bravo! The people who play the music and the people who play the game on the stage. It is the very big difference. :)

[@KaiTakApproach]

Absolutely drop dead gorgeous sound.

[@StefanoDavidson]

I adore this passage. I adore the Argo version... till now. I adore your interpretation too. Great. Thank you.

[@Billy_Herrington1969]

Amazing

[@nostalgyotherera9566]

amazing, if after listening this master piece you feel nothing, you are dead

[@justinradford4858]

A great version of this outstanding tune. Sone might say it is too quick however the tempo gives it a new flavour and the choice of instrumentation too. Thank you!

[@Waldvogel91]

This is a superb rendition of a fine piece. I am very impressed with your interpretation of it.

[@zorngottes1778]

Großartig.

[@graziacavasino8884]

A very interesting approach, thank you! It made me discover a playful side of this piece of music I haven't been aware of until now.

[@ShortHistory]

Это ооочень круто!

[@seijie2]

秀逸です。So Cool!

[@Arctic_Fox_NFFC]

This makes me want to be a musician. So envious of you guys. This looks like a lot of fun.

[@jotemerario8206]

Amo alla follia questo brano perché mi ossessiona e continuo a sentirlo per giorni nella mia testa ❤

Pura energía. Maravillosa

[@mshomefire]

I wanted modern recorder and I ended up here. I will be back. Stimulating stuff!

[@CommunistPartyTV]

I love Michael Nyman - and I think that this is singularly the best interpretation of one of his scores. I cannot stop listening to it and watching the video - it is just so amazing! I cannot thank you enough

[@BaronRolfan]

sick how some people openly admit to support soviet and communism. greatest killer of all time.

[@ArchieMoore]

Even more deaths than colonialism/capitalism?? :O

[@BaronRolfan]

ehmm..... yes, obviously? lenin, stalin, mao and khmer rouge. you do the math

[@ArchieMoore]

I have. The so-called British Empire, Italy, France, Spain had colonies all over the globe. An entire race of people wiped out in Tasmania and it isn't over. The effects of disadvantage, and dispossession is still killing Aboriginal peoples today. I should've included christianity in there too.

[@BaronRolfan]

Аясніё Моояэ sure, but they didnt mass kill in same numbers :)

[@user-ky2dh1om3x]

Oh! It seems Adrien Brody wasn't just acting in that movie, he can really play!

[@victoriaviola143]

IMPRESIONANTES.

[@ernstliebleid587]

The *5* people who disliked must be deaf. How can you not like this? #brilliant

[@focuspulling]

It's a great performance of great music. But considering that money was spent on the video supported by about a dozen credited employees, it's worth criticizing the low production standards, especially in the category of color which is all over the place, inaccurate, punching nearly everything down into dark shadows, besides shaky camera movements that simply distract.

[@rigorm42]

When i go maniac in MD period i listen to this.

Terrific!
