Vilja Song

Kimmy Skota preforming with Andre Rieu - LIVE

[@keithsimmons465]

What a wonderful performance by Kimmy she is so humble and deserved the recognition she recieves

[@axelhager4773]

Yes, absolutely!

[@paulag8575]

This women's voice is like a finely tuned violin. How SWEET to listen to. God bless you.

[@theoapbiker8398]

I have to be totally honest & say I had never heard of Kimmy Skota until I found her on KZbin! This lady is an absolute sensation & to listen to her voice is just pure magic! Has she ever preformed in England because if not & she does come to England I will be first at the box office to collect my ticket!

[@camalem1724]

I liked your comment 😊 because I wanted you to come back and listen to this pure magic once again😄.

[@siviwepeyi829]

People can only dream to sing like this. Beautiful voice and control. Amazing performance.

[@robmabrisbobbie9554]

Beautiful lady with an incredible angelic voice! My very favorite!!!

[@mireyasanchez4137]

[@utube0803]

Who is still here in 2022 basking in the GLOW of this amazing Woman and her gorgeous voice?

[@MsLadyroses]

I get goosebumps every time I listen to her angelic voice. What a gift from God she has!

[@brianward7724]

Absolutely the best singer I've heard on Rieu's stage! Wonderful! Congratulations Kimmy! The way you expanded on that high note took my breath away!!!

[@garrettr3644]

Wow. Best version of Vilja I have ever heard. Stunning. Literal tears.

[@brianward7724]

Her voice has a vulnerable quality to it that I absolutely adore, it adds an extra emotional layer. My favorite of all the sopranos Andre has featured over the years

My God....a new fan....I've wasted how many decades without Kimmy Skota 😭😤

[@leonardhurley5761]

Kimmy Skota has a beautiful voice and is a beautiful lady. Thanks.

[@DownButNotOutYet]

Such a beautiful voice. So appreciated the opportunity to listen to such singing talent. A lovely woman. She deserved all the recognition. Hope all goes well for her career.

[@robertshand1944]

Kimmy with such a wonderfully beautiful voice and her timing with Andre and the orchestra makes this an eternal classic........

[@joyfrederick4075]

God bless Kimmy Skota. She is a beautiful, graceful lady with a superbly, melodious, soprano voice and a lovely, endearing smile. Best rendition Maestro Rièu has orchestrated !

[@ysteinwangen7525]

I have never heard a young singer with such a rich voice, and can not at all imagine a more beautiful performance of Vilja. As this fantastic singer surprisingly closed her career, we can only respect her decision and hope it was the right one for her. And gratefully return, again and again, to the treasures she gave us here on KZbin.

[@claranorell5748]

@øyesteinwangen I copy what you say. Me an my now 7 year old boy listen to this tune when he is gonna sleep every night for +1-2 year now. He asks for Vilja every night

[@ysteinwangen7525]

@@claranorell5748 Thank you so much for your beautiful and touching answer. Your son asking for Vilja every night would for sure touch Kimmy Skota a lot too, if she knew. My very best regards to both of you

[@kwesiattasakyi4978]

I have heard the version by Joan Sunderland sung long ago and I thought no one could parallel hers. But this is another great rendition which is difficult to compare. Kimmi has extraordinary talent. One of the best in the world with a great conductor Andre. Keep up the great works gem of Africa!

[@keithsimmons465]

I agree 100 percent with you Kwesi I loved Kimmy when I first saw her performance on the DVD my African dream a few years ago A fantastic voice and should be proud of her performance

[@user-gx1rk8yw6l]

Joan Sunderland's voice is warmer-toned with softer edges. Kimmi's is cleaner (wrong word) with more-precise edges. I have NO idea what the song is supposed to represent/incite. So that is 2 renditions of the same song, & I enjoy both. My hat off to both exquisitely-voiced artists. Listening to Kimmi singing "Ave Maira" had me wonder what a duet of Kimmi with a warmer-voiced artiste would sound like. Them playing-off each other, their voices merging... would/should/could be heavenly!

[@barrywilliams8324]

U K.I first heard this song over 60 years ago. whilst listening to to wireless with my Mother one Sunday evening. Over the years I have listened to many,many versions this has to be one of the most enjoyable.

[@prophetesspeanutlovina]

The voice of an angel.

[@prophetesspeanutlovina]

Listen to the Ave Maria and iy changes yhe atmosphere.

[@j.t.h.9242]

Es la mejor version de "Vilja" que existe! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@mikebarnard7957]

Where does André find such wonderful singers such as this with an amazing voice. Added to those wonderful sopranos such as Carmen, Carla and Mirusia, he and his JSO must be something very special!

[@dennisokeefe9255]

My Dad was a huge fan of 'The Merry Widow'. I'm finally beginning to realise why. Simply beautiful.

[@helenfernandez5956]

Kimmy Skota is blessed with a wonderful talent. Thank you Kimmy l am able to end my days with beautiful music. This music helps me sleep peacefully. God bless you Kimmy. Thank you Andre for presenting this wonderful young lady to us.

[@eland22]

Kimmy Skota's range is unbelievably fantastic!

[@izmaski]

In a world where Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Niki Minaj exist, I am so very happy there is the beautiful magic of Kimmy Skota. Her voice is absolutely astounding. So clean and clear. All the very best in your career in music, Kimmy. I am enthralled, and fortunate to be able to hear your marvellous voice. I hope you have a long and wonderful musical career. Blessings to you :)

[@Gioeufshi]

It is really unfair to pair lady gaga with the others you mentioned. She really is talented. Watch her sing live and you ll know why.

[@erickmione]

Well, it’s been ten years now; it got worst, with that Billie Eilish shit.

[@deborahmoore7657]

Oh just adore Kimi Skota

[@stanleywalker2566]

I remember this from the war time years 1939 =45, when it was on the steam radio from the Palm Court ,Bournemouth and I am still crying at 88 years old I think it was Ann Zeigler and Webster Booth in a duet Kimmy you have made my life come full circle thank you sweet heart.

[@patrickchauharjasingh7164]

What floored me about this brilliant performance, apart from her utterly BEAUTIFUL voice and her soaring range, was her unbelievable control. I have never heard Vilja Song performed with that level of control by ANY other soprano.

[@tolgaucar-gl1vm]

Her voice from an other world far away accumulating the thousands of years past and distilling into us

[@MrCuddlyable3]

Kimmy Skota takes the dynamics of the slow lines beyond the call of duty, and makes it look effortless. Bravissima!

Franz Lehar is, in my opinion, the most brilliant operetta artist in the 20th century. However, this performance of Vilja from "The Merry Widow" is wonderful.

Chère Kymy, la pureté de votre voix, sa puissance, et surtout "surtout", l'émotion que vous apporter à chacune de vos interprétations, font de vous une personne unique. Vous avez en vous une immense beauté. Et un talent magnifique. Vous donnez "tout" à chacune de vos interprétation. Vous êtes belle. Vous êtes touchée par la Grâce. A chaque fois que je vous écoute, je ferme les yeux pour me concentrer sur votre voix, et les belles émotions me submergent... Les larmes viennent toute seule. Et même souvent, les sanglots, tellement l'émotion, la grâce et l'amour que vous donnez, me touchent en mon cœur et mon âme... Ce ne sont pas pas de larmes de dépit. Mais des larmes de beauté, d'amour et de grâce que j'accueille avec un bonheur infini. Les autres Cantatrices, me semblent bien fade à côté de vous. Vous devez être une Maman et une Epouse merveilleuse, tant vous donnez d'Amour !... C'est toujours un bonheur de vous écouter et de vous voir. Votre interprétation de l'Ave Maria de Bach me touche particulièrement. Je partage avec vous, et je ressent avec vous, et à travers votre interprétation, toute la beauté et l'Amour universel de Marie... Et quand vous avez fini de chanter vous êtes encore, pour quelques instants, avec la Maman de Jésus, alors que toute la salle exulte de joie et d'admiration. Là est la vrai émotion qui me touche au plus profond de mon être. Pour moi, le véritable Art, est avant tout une belle émotion ! Quelque chose d'indéfinissable et profond qui nous bouleverse. Vous êtes unique Kymy ! Je voudrais acheter un disque, avec vos merveilleuses interprétations. Votre sourire est sincères et généreux. Je voudrais avoir le pouvoir de vous renvoyer, pour vous et vos proches, tout l'amour, la tendresse et la sincérité que vous nous donnez. Restez toujours ainsi Kymy. Vous êtes une belle personne. Denis EUDELINE.
