His young granddaughter was happy see as out of (i was with friend) nowhere she started fire in fireplace,made some hot vino drink and give us beautiful biology, history of the composer. She was so happy since officially put down by the communist government because hi visited Capitalist America !!! Especially he wrote about the great Industrial DEVELOPMENT in USA. He mention that US had very high technology, bat very little music- culture. Estabilished numerous music conservatorims of high music education. I was very disgusted by the tyrany and persecution mine and my entire family for no reaso , so I escaped in sommer of 1966 to Denmark. After wetting mi for 10 month I emigrated to USA .Since 1967 in Arizona one year (very,very hot )than since 1968 in San Francisco. Hope why I specialy love A. Dvorak my countryman. Today it is not Czechoslovakia. In 1993 commarads split like Hitler in 1940. Today it is Czech Republic and Slovakia. I'm slovakian was living just across Danube river from Wienna, Austria Forgot, A.

In addition, some of these musicians are former graduates of the school who had gone on to careers as professional orchestral musicians, and were invited back as honored guests. And a small handful of the musicians were either music teachers at the school or professional musicians with the Slovenian National Symphony, also joining the orchestra as honored guests. But unlike many "youth" orchestras, around 90 percent of these fine musicians were current students at Gimnazija Kranj.

Good Heavens! Gimnazija Kranj Symphony Orchestra under maestro Nejc Bečan are so very special, perform directly from the heart. And diva Ernestina Jošt is transcendent.

[@wertherquartett]

Thanks for telling us the names of the performers. I don’t understand why the folks that post these things don’t give us that information up front so that we don’t have to hunt down among the comments to see whether some helpful person has done so.

[@cherylwilliams667]

This young woman has such poise and beauty. I enjoyed her performance so very much.

[@gregoryglading1517]

Ernestina Jost can’t be human. No human can possibly be that beautiful. Her voice, her delivery, her technical perfection can only be an Angel from Heaven as a final gift to mankind before the apocalypse

[@reinholdsklinefelter3879]

She's just a human. She was born. She's living her life. Then someday, she'll die. Just like every human being that has ever lived. Maybe in a few hundred thousand years we'll figure out how to be immortal. Right now, we're all the same. Don't tell wealthy people about this though, some of them foolishly believe they are gods.

[@gregoryglading1517]

@@reinholdsklinefelter3879 I am writing metaphorically. I an a Christian and know my theology. Earnestina is gifted above and beyond almost every mortal. Plato said that if everything is beautiful, than nothing can be beautiful. By God granting Earnestina gifts above almost all of humanity, the rest of mankind is blessed. Let's be grateful that she has worked hard to develop her stunning voice and that she takes care of herself to keep her physical beauty

[@elizabethstetler8044]

Even though I don't understand the lyrics, the music is hauntingly beautiful, her voice is like liquid gold

Dear Elizabeth. You can turn on subtitles is in the lower right corner. Our amazing translator Tog Hoath from south England did an amazing job.

[@conradinhawaii7856]

Elizabeth... My friend Tog has, on the captions on this stunning video, translated from the Czech lyrics literally word-for-word. So the lyrics in English are of course not in usual conversational format. And unless you know the significance of gypsies in central European history and culture, you may miss the significance of that line. This beautiful lament is actually one of a collection of works by Mister Dvořak titled "Cigánské melodie"... Gypsy songs. There has been a "singable" English language version of this lovely song around for probably a hundred years, and it has been recorded by many famous professional singers, both male and female, over the decades. It is the version my own mother, a classically-trained pianist and very good singer, taught me to play on piano and sing well over sixty years ago. Here are those lyrics... Songs my mother taught me, In the days long vanished; Seldom from her eyelids Were the teardrops banished. Now I teach my children Each melodious measure. Oft the tears are flowing; Oft they flow From my memory's treasure. 😌💖💔 Here you go... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXfMqpZvebGNesU Me ke aloha from Hawai'i... 🌴🌴

My favourite performance in English: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpvYq4d-aJaqbdU . Recorded by Charlotte Church at the age of 13, in her CD "Charlotte Church" (1999). Enjoy.

[@conradinhawaii7856]

@@resadmirabilis9778 Agreed. There are many beautiful English language versions of this lament by both female and male singers. One of my favorites is by Carla Maffioletti.

[@resadmirabilis9778]

@tog hoath :) Thanks. You're right, the original Czech poetry was written before 1880, and the English translation, by Natalie Macfarren, was written before 1916. I understand Czech, so I didn't click on that little gear. Also, thank you for the record of Richard Crooks, a great voice. Surprisingly, the English lyrics is about as good as the original, and Charlotte's voice is like an stream of liquid gold, too... :) Great singers' voices always contain a substantial proportion of supernatural, as if they're singing from Heaven.

Droga Madame Ernestino Josek, bardzo dziękuję za Twój wspaniały i wzruszający spiew, zawsze przypominasz mi o mojej S+P Mamie, która umarła w 2014 roku, a która też mnie uczyła śpiewać. Życzę Tobie wszystkiego najlepszego i baw nas w tym przedsionku do Nieba. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Katowic Polsko, Maciek Malas.
