Molly is looking beautiful... and she sure has the hands of a pianist. Beautiful version.

[@Harriger55]

Jay and Molly wrote it in the 1980s. It was very personal and they were reluctant to perform it for awhile, but apparently friends heard it and urged them to start performing it.

[@ricblegg]

Every so often, a song and its performance comes along which trancends the ages. This is one of those times.

[@DanielCPurdy]

To me, this is the most beautiful playing of this great tune.

[@TheFiddle101]

The harmonies are superb

[@grandee2010]

I never realised Molly was so Amazing.

[@jasonburns4071]

Always loved the Transatlantic Sessions. Jay is a very fine writer.

[@Ira108]

Jay Ungar composes with his heart.

[@CBinID]

Ashokan Farewell is beautiful, but between the two, I would have a hard time picking a favorite. Pure genius.

[@philipcroft2236]

Sometimes you just want to sit still and breath low, let the music enter your soul and be at peace.

[@HugoDBPHuguenot]

Jay Ungar and Molly Mason... could not be better than this.

[@DanPurdy1]

When the camera sweeps by a way into the song, you can see happiness on Jay’s face. A beautiful song full of meaning played superbly.

[@Pedalergal]

such a beautiful composition and performance.....i love how they all give each other space for solos, too.....

[@solamano7239]

Masterpiece! I can't remember how many times I have come back here!

[@robertevans695]

I have a watched this clip hundreds of times. What a sublime piece! Thank you, whoever posted it! I desperately want to see Jay and Molly live just once before I die.

[@duanenorthrup1580]

Beauty and mastery. My thanks to Jay & Molly.

[@DanPurdy1]

Such a beautiful waltz. Played beautifully here. Molly Mason’s playing on the piano adds another dimension.

[@beckyboopz1]

I love this. So beautiful.

[@williambrennan5935]

Absolutely magnificent! Thank you so much!

[@saltyandrawwilson6590]

I'm so glad I had found you because you reached deep to touch my soul, and your music spoke in a sublime language. ..I treasure your creation. Thank you both.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Every time I listen to this song, I tear up for the sheet beauty of it.

[@johnbostwick5594]

I try to compliment this by playing my violin,never ever achieved after 60+ years.

[@redsaxmax]

This is a beautiful rendition of a great tune. I've played a version of this myself in band, and it's such an ear-worm.

[@tracybrusman9538]

Incredible musicians; so beautiful.

[@karinberryman7970]

What incredible therapy musicians can invoke upon themselves and their audience!!! Hope this brings Jay and Molly decades more life and satisfaction!

[@canrocksguy1]

Just a lovely piece of music.

[@daigo1952]

I just bought the album, but I've never seen this video before. Glad I stumbled upon it. Did not know Jay & Molly did the TS's

[@phoenixpiper5831]

Wonderful tune. Well done. Thank you.

[@malcolmnash5850]

Simply Beautiful.

[@billodonoghue5681]

Very sweet who could not like this

[@mattymccarthy2486]

This reminds me of being in Ballydehob (west cork) in the mid 90'S at O'Sullivans and the great sessions every week there!

[@billalbion]

This is excellent, thank you so much.

[@tracybrusman9538]

So beautiful!

[@sweetmuseek]

Blow me away beautiful!

[@MimmiLill]

You made my day! Thank you!

[@guitarpolish7]

This is beautiful. I am blown away.

Magical stuff ... must be an old recording ... very special

[@pegnog10]

Lovely. Our Old Time group will be learning this one!!

[@solamano7239]

Beautiful :)

[@d.e.s.2919]

So lovely and inspiring -- THANKS so much for posting (!!!) -- we play this waltz in our amateur fiddling group...we'll keep working on it!

[@petercallaghan9851]

+Diana Einagel Sly If this is your aspiration, you are well formed. If you emulate this level of performance, your soul speaks to many and your soul will be seen by just that number. If you master this, you will be a blessing to all who hear you. Pray God, I will be one.

[@richardmosher7204]

I played this last fall for someone special.

[@mssippijim]

Beautiful song, and a bit different from the other version with just Jay and Molly.

[@pepsarrio]

Lovely song!

[@peterannear4494]

plus Russ B, Danny T all great musicians

[@jimfrost6799]

Lovely

[@Brockspapa]

This is beautiful...plain and simple. I will subscribe. I sure wish I possessed these skills as a musician. ~BCK

[@alancayn4390]

So sweet.

[@pacificpolyrythyms]

[@hristunfernandes4001]

Loved it a lott. A very interesting piece. Great job with the guitar solo

[@GrannySmith-j6k]

Wow

[@bbouch111]

Jay Ungar and Molly Mason

[@Greybeardhere]

Stunningly beautiful! Who's on bass?

[@MrBowsmith]

That's Danny Thompson playing bass.

[@Albatross960]

molly mason looks so young!

[@davew4998]

Albatross960 And beautiful!

[@conradinhawaii7856]

This was recorded in 1995, 23 years ago. But Molly will still be beautiful when she's in her 80s. It comes from within.

[@herbm55]

Wow, Ashokan Farewell lite.

[@averyewing4700]

Who is the guitar player. I think it is Russ

[@archienicol1402]

It is.

[@petercallaghan9851]

+Archie Nicol Russ abandoned and transcended all of tinseltown when he did these recordings. He left the dross and became what he always wanted to be..... a musician. He, in his field, is unsurpassable. Thank God we had him.

[@archienicol1402]

+Peter Callaghan Well put.

[@sparton00678]

is that cathal o connel?

[@comesahorseman]

[@dalesmth1]

Lee Benoit and Mark Hebert did it best.
