The best part of this rendition is the fact that the whole orchestration is based in the DNA remix of the song. The original version is A Capella.

[@DmitryGorbushin]

Well, I think there are just a few people know the original version was just an Acapella. Most of us discovered this masterpiece after DNA remix. Thanks God and Nick Batt ;)

[@milkyblend]

@@DmitryGorbushinfew people? Really? 😂

[@Hector_Munday]

Suzanne singing absolutely beautifully, and that orchestra playing divinely…..I think I’m going to tear up.

[@fannycraddock99]

Once a classic, always a classic.

[@SUGAPIE212]

Stunnning rendition of this timeless classic ✨Can't believe Suzanne is almost 64 years old, beautiful as ever.

[@richardhare3996]

Solitude Standing, one of the all time classics

[@Dimitar_Stoyanov_359]

Suzanne was wonderful ❤ as always, but also a big thanks ❤ to the arranger! The orchestra was marvelous!

[@MegaMijit]

this song reminds me what a wondering thing it is to be alive, appreciate the smallest of moments, and the shared experience of life

[@robinpettigrew2773]

Mega Mijit, 💯 agree, we’ve only one life, live it and enjoy it. Just back from the Royal Festival Hall, Suzanne was fantastic!!

[@vonroretz3307]

You should listen to Beethoven’s sonatas

[@zafreeharees247]

Wow, 35 years & seems like nothing has changed! Bravo!! 🔥💯

[@Hector_Munday]

THAT ORCHESTRA IS SO TALENTED I want to meet them and just personally and individually thank each and every one of them for such a BEAUTIFUL performance.

[@Philth_E]

My wife and I just watched this same song multiple times over the decades ranging from the studio version, acapella etc. This by far has got to be the best performance we have saw! Like a fine wine, this song has aged great along with her voice!

[@reznordlm06]

Yes !! But not the best suzanne's haircut ! 😋

[@solarczyk49]

A great performance and an excellent performance by the orchestra. Bravo 👏👏👏

[@jphoeb]

I think I've watched this every day since it came out. I just adore Suzanne so much.

[@frankmorris2870]

Just brought me back 30 plus years for those few minutes, Thank you

[@jameswalters5999]

When she sings, vocals, she is a musician, in the company, of other musicians, who else, does this, as well, as Suzanne, I can’t think, of anyone… 🎼🎵🎶🎹🎙🎻🌟🙂

[@skindawg3615]

Was on radio radio 2 today. Total class. Have records by her from her early 19 This is an outstanding mix. Thank you!

[@chrishoey61]

Brought me to tears!!

[@toeantjemani]

OMG....when i was junior high i cant stop listining to this song ...from radio in Indonesia

[@jeniestra.]

The fact they did DNA's version with an orchestra. Musicianship at its finest for this classic.

[@placidigonzalez3913]

Suzanne recreando su propia canción! Que grandiosa interpretacion!

[@PavJedrusiak]

Suzanne is an incredible artist. Bravo.

[@SuperTechnorider]

Эх, где моё детство?! Текст незамысловат, но настолько ярко картину передаёт. Lyrics is simple but so much impressive that I can see all the people and circumstances Suzanne is singing about. Orchestra's performance is awesome too .

[@paradimov]

Женя, там все тексты незамысловатые. это не Высоцкий, не Башлачёв, не «Воскресенье». самые большие разочарования пришли с пониманием английского и осознанием убогости англоязычной лирики-классики) впрочем, ни капли уважения и восхищения не потеряли ни Led Zeppelin, ни Nirvana, ни Metallica, ни всякие прочие другие кумиры детства

[@amangogna68]

Great song, amazing voice and band !

[@spencerdrate-co3vn]

BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS!

[@peteramodio]

Just fantastic! My mind goes back the concert at The Albert Hall, way back in the late eighties, slightly different arrangement, no accompaniment at all! Just Suzanne….

[@ofbullet]

Masterpiece/Masterclass. That is one hell of a version. All credit to the Beeb Orchestra for making a great song even better than the original :)

[@SpeakeasyRay]

WOW.

[@franzreyes6185]

Love this orchestrated version of Tom's Diner. This feels like the Englishman in New York (song from Sting) had a wonderful meal there.

[@pashvonderc381]

Their burgers 🍔 ain’t too bad either

[@DmitryGorbushin]

I like how rhythm guitar is playing drums over here.

[@mikhailwolf7972]

👍👍👍

[@martinmark5100]

G R E A T !

[@canalchinto1625]

There’s an instrumental version on the Solitude Standing album. I think Suzanne never has sung the song live (or in a recorded performance) with that musical arrangement. I don’t know… It would be lovely🌹 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ-ygnyclrOEqdE

[@garydunn3037]

When did this show go "On Air" I'm afraid that I missed that one.

[@igorshakin8]
