Jewish Prayer.

[lorr4bs7777]

Simply breathtaking! I wish I learned to play the cello when I was younger, I have always loved it!

[MagicalSunrise1984]

really beautiful 

[BytomGirl]

Beautiful...so sad, like so many Jewish lives through the history. This music cries deeply from the soul. And how it reminds me of my Cantor Grandfather. Thank you.

[MW3ModzMW3]

cello is the best sounding instrument in my opinion, so soothing

[CantorSusie]

Really beautiful.

[Gfrant]

Excellent. Ty for posting.

[jamesch230]

of all the videos i have seen on this, ithink it is the slow tempo that is used and the fact that a 2nd cello comes in as well the fact that this vieod is 10 mins which really allows me to enjoy it

[manicoquita]

The Lord's People! Blessed art thou O children of Israel!! I bless you not for because the Lord says, "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you." I bless you because I love you; you are a blessing and are a light to the world. Don't lose faith precious children of Israel. Yeshua will return and establish a new Jerusalem. Believe that he loves you, more than I do...God bless :) Jesus Christ loves. Praise the Lord!

[cnuggets9000]

@manicoquita not to be a downer, but jewish people don't believe in jesus :P

[manicoquita]

@cnuggets9000 lol not all of them, there are the Messianic Jews, and Jesus was still a Jew. Besides, they are still the children of the covenant :)

[cnuggets9000]

@manicoquita eh thats why i usually don't do comments on 3 things: religion, politics, & guns

[stealthblack6]

In fact, the Bible states that one day the Messiah, Jesus Christ, will come back to earth and build a temple for the Jewish people on the Temple Mount (Zechariah 1:16,6:12). However, before Messiah builds His temple in Jerusalem, there will be a Jewish temple erected on the Temple Mount (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1).

[lilooNantes]

Quel profondeur, douceur, la prière se ressent beaucoup dans cette mélodie!

Shalom!

It vibrates in all my soul and cells

[pimandouce]

[adamdegraff]

This is very special. (And spectacular playing as well.) Wow!

[BeteaMaia]

Thank you very much for this absolutley wonderful and so sensitive melodie.

[u2seek]

Wonderful, a Jewish member of our message board has passed a way, your work has been added to her memorial thread.

Thank you.

[VeritasTruthEmet]

trop forte!

[Luekichan]

i just love religious music

[cmugrad08]

does anyone know if I can get sheet music for this somewhere?

[ZionzLioness]

Beautiful and I feel the love in this for our wonderful Father above!  thank you

[realmench]

Very nice! There were moments of counterpoint that brought tears to my eyes. I do not believe that there is any music on Earth that expresses as much passion and emotion as the music of my people.

[marcellonorte]

thats true!!!!

[freeheretic111]

@realmench I hope to discover that on my iourney home.

[hervepaulmichel]

... cet a-m même...

[jolicrasseux]

Merci infiniment Hervépaulmichel !

Magnifique bouche à oreille !

[hervepaulmichel]

Et Sonia W-A est encore bien présente cet a-même, en direct sur France-Musique, dans le cadre d' une journée hommage au violoniste David Oïstrack...

[hameealhamee]

Although this called a Jewish Prayer, but I felt as if it has nothing to do with nether Jewish nor prayers, this is a very nice classic attractive music that really takes you far away and fill your heart with romance and peace.

[jolicrasseux]

There are two pieces, the first one is a lamentation, the second is a duo said of seraphim, then an heavenly music...

The main thing is that this music led you in a romantic and peaceful mind. The aim of any prayer !

Thank you for your beautiful comment.

[mauchette]

Sorry Jolicrasseux I don't speak english very well!!!

Est-ce vous , qui avait filmé Sonia?

Car c'est merveilleusement bien fait, Bravo à vous !!! A quand la suite des chants juifs?

[jolicrasseux]

Mais non Mauchette ! C'est un document diffusé sur Arte que j'ai eu le bonheur de suivre et d'enregistrer ! C'était si beau que j'ai voulu le partager.

Enregistré au château de Ferrieres en 2003 par les soins d'Arte.

Mais vous avez raison, c'est magnifique.

Litanei de Schubert est sur le même film.

[mauchette]

Mais.. vous speakez Français Jolicrasseux!!

Comment ce fait-il qu'il n'y ait que des commentaires english? les Français n'ont pas de goût ou quoi!

Quelle bonne idée vous avez eu d'enregistrer ce jour là Arte (sûrement émission de la nuit !!) et Merci de nous en faire profiter !!

Ai-je déjà dit que j'adorais cette Musik Juive et Schubert aussi !!! êtes-vous violoncelliste aussi? Vive le cello Magnifique instrument !!!

[jolicrasseux]

Ma mère était violoncelliste ! Un chromosome ou deux, peut-être !

Si vous tapez: "kol nidrei j.du pré" dans la recherche youtube, vous pourrez entendre une perle rare ! C'est aussi une prière juive ! composée par Max Bruch...!

[hervepaulmichel]

Non Mauchette... Arte est une chaîne qui a la bonne idée de diffuser de tels programmes à 19h le dimanche...

[mauchette]

Oui Hervé vous avez raison.. (I am sorry!!) mais je trouve cette émission du dimanche... un peu trop "classik"(je pourrai vous développer if you want?)

Par contre l'émission sur la 2"la boîte à musique" avec le Super génial compositeur pianiste JF Zygel,diffusée en été et àprès 23h. C'est vraiment dommage, car elle est à la "portée" de tous et aborde tous les styles de musique.Connaissez-vous cette émission?

[wally28601]

this is so beautiful i cant stop crying. This ephasizes pain and joy at the same time. thank u for sharing this.shalom

[mauchette]

sublime.... j'aimerais tellement voir et écouter les autres chants Juifs joués aussi par Sonia Wieder-Atherton. Existent-ils en vidéo?

[sk8trchick4545]

im proud to be half jewish and 11 and speaking some hebrew barouch atah adoni eloheinou meleh haolam ashair kidishanou barmitzva atah bare minae mezounotz

[Hexachloraphine]

I Love Heavy Breathing on classical music it seems to add passion.

thanks for post

[v32606]

Wow it took me up to the throne room of Heaven, I truly love it! It is a shame that there is some one breathing heavily in the background!

[jolicrasseux]

Probably an old asthmatic angel in the throne room ! Forgive him !

[rovingie]

hahahaha...!!! ^^

[yippyyayeh]

I guess you don't play the cello...one has to 'breathe heavily' to play the cello that way - it is hard work...from another cellist.

[LMessiahOfJudaism]

Wonderful music!!

[Apokriph]

it took my breath away...

[bookishmuch]

the jews have always had a special attraction to the violin, but i think the jewish music for the cello is sublime. look at bloch and bruch.

[margarethaverbraeken]

verry beutifull music whos tell the lonneles and the lost off the soul. verry good play. But i hat to love see more different pics.

sjalom mey the peace off the lord comming in Zion margaretha

[zlevi101]

pffft and you know judaism dont you?

[bookishmuch]

don't waste keystrokes on this asshat.

[hit004541]

So you have studied judaism? You know everything about it? I already know the answer :P

[Chaim89]

to hit004541 : Hahaha, i can tell you, by converting to Judaism you will not immedately become artistic ;-) I have tried...

[hit004541]

I don't mean the religion but the people ;)

[ManshoL77]

hit004541 ..i agree with U

[ahuviareg]

wonderfullllllllllllllll!

[hit004541]

I wish I was jewish, they are so artistic!!!

[themasteratarms]

is jewish not a religion

[themasteratarms]

is jewish not a religion

[hit004541]

jews is also a ethnic group like blacks and so on

[themasteratarms]

black is a creed of skin fool. and i looked it up thanks. so you can be jewish. you dont need to wish to be

[hit004541]

okey bad example but you don't have to be rude about it. jewish is not only a religion but also a ethnic group maybe you should do more research before you open your mouth

[themasteratarms]

My original question was rhetorical. also i am not the one who has got anything wrong but you so maybe you should think about what you say before you speak , or not even speak at all you invalid

[hit004541]

If it didn't need a answer why write at all?

It is a shame that you can't have a conversation without being so rude.

[themasteratarms]

i can have a conversation without being rude. usualy its not idol like the one im having with you. no one man can no everything. dont overestimate people in the same way you shouldnt under estimate people.

Now shut up as you are boring me and also wasting space on youtube

[hit004541]

okey, but hey thats your choice if you want to be an asshole for no reason at all. Have a further great day :P

[m0e4g2]

This is my special cello musician .Saw her years ago with Catherine Collard .If you care about the late Janos Fürst she has a fantastic cd were he is concucting Ravel,Bartok,Chostakovitch and Mayerke Ravel transcription .

beauty of her cello !(RCA Red Seal) Sonia Wieder-atherton en concerto.

[richgomito]

This is stunning.

[PimmesNL]

This cd is worth it's weight in gold

[inzithaksin]

AMAZING

[joecounter]

Fantastic.

I can't understand why the middle east can't reunite.

There has been such a rich history of technical and cultural achivements along. The achivements are unique to this region and not only one country.

Unfortunately they get thrown away in this very moment because some people want to show how mighty they are or how they can impress the masses.

Please listen to the unique language of the world - MUSIC.

You don't have to understand the language, just listen.

Joe

[jolicrasseux]

Oh ! I agree totally with you Joe !!!

[lawson1962]

This song is titled Priere, which in French means Prayer or Eternity, I think Eternity is the better of the two. The song is from the Album, Chants Juifs: Jewish Songs for Cello & Piano by Sonia Wieder-Atherton, and I cry almost every time I hear it.

[jolicrasseux]

The french meaning of "prière" is rather "request" or "please" like for: "je vous prie"...! Imho, I had to share such a perfection with every one, I'm not jewish, with such beauty I'd like to be ! Thanks Lawson1962 for your coments !

[lawson1962]

In this piece its meaning is Pray or a Plea

1 prière Noun, feminine (a) prayer; plea; à la ~ de qn at sb's request; ~ de fermer la porte please close the gate

[lawson1962]

But i have seen Eternity in the French translation which i like better...

[shabani76]

Very beautiful!!

[peterthesongman]

as it is in heaven

[embenadorfinearts]

Jolicrasseux, this is SO VERY BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for posting this great video! Hearing this music and this interpret makes you in peace with the world!

[fred512]

I just can say wow!

and whats the name of the ensamble?, they are so good, please keep uploading this kind of videos
