beautiful soul

[aelredtheless]

Beatiful song, and beautiful images. They reminded me of the summer I spent in Russia, part in Moscow and part in the forest near Zvenigorod.

[ThankingHimDaily]

I have to say you cannot miss the opportunity to glorify the GOD who gave this man his talent. We in and of ourselves are incapable of producing beauty like this.

[BGSourgas]

[Dreamman08]

Да, мой хороший друг Kosta

И с глазами мы осматриваем душу России и с ушами мы слышим mantra той русской души.

Будет очень мощной комбинацией и я очень privileged для того чтобы иметь ее.

Вы снова Kosta.

Дон.

[Dreamman08]

Yes, my good friend Kosta...

And with the eyes we view the soul of Russia and with the ears we hear the mantra of that Russian soul.

It is a very powerful combination and I am very privileged to have it.

Thank you again Kosta.

Don.

[TheClassicalFun]

Your words are beautifully refined and telling of the rich soul you are yourself. I experience them as the same Deep Respect for That What was/is in me when I created the video, heared the music and saw the paintings: Love, Deep felt Connection with the Soul in the Music and the Paintings, the Landscapes, Nature, Russia.

Thank you for your English translation...

[zeleko59]

Спасибо.Вы действительно отлично понимаете природу русской классики.--"Князь Андрей встал и подошёл к окну,чтобы отворить его.Ночь была свежая и неподвижно-светлая" (Лев Толстой."Война и мир").

[TheClassicalFun]

Спасибо!

Your words have a wonderful impact on me. They explain me that I really was one (creating the video) with that what I experience as Soul. Russian Soul.

This music will remind me forever of a special friend in Ukraine. He used this music once for an experiment on the university of Kiev: this music was on the background, and somebody spoke a poem in Russian, Ukrainian and Italian. I cannot speak Russian nor Ukrainian nor Italian, and therefore useful for the experiment.

Not knowing what it was all about I asked: what is that strong pounding in it? It feels as a giant!

He answered: that is the sun, Antoinette, rising above the Moscow River.

[ETTA48]

So, there are three giants here....

Saw Shishkin once in Groningen, Netherlands, with a special exhibition: The Russian Landscape.

Shishkin's paintings were as tall as the walls....

As if I was walking into the woods.

Could not believe my eyes....

Every detail was perfect.

[zeena61]

Ivan Shishkin -his work is still beloved by Russians for its beauty and nostalgic qualities.

Superb music.

Mussorgsky - Shishkin: You're so right. Their art is eternal!

[letufi]

beloved landscapes and superb music!!! and delicate editing

*****/5

best regards

P.S. I think that this video is not typical for you...

[TheClassicalFun]

The human soul has many layers, facets, and levels.... As the seas and oceans have their huge stormy powerful waves, the oceans have also their calm depths, with so many layers, levels and facets....

In this video I was connected with one of my deepest levels. It is more "me" than you obviously can imagine.

The word "typical" fits with that what you know / knew from me until now.

[zeleko59]

Вы музыкант от Бога

[Alicia7777777]

Very well done - as always! 5*, of course.
