Brilliant version of this great Irish/Scottish tune.

Unusual version of this beautiful Irish song....sublime....Flotow was to say that he would willingly give up every piece of music he ever wrote, to be the composer of 'The Last Rose of Summer'.

Great Irish tune.....any Irish city can be substituted for Belfast. I've heard it with Derry city and Dublin city. Of course, the city need not be even in Ireland at all.....you may call it Timbuktu city if the mood takes you, but everyone will have to agree I think...it's very Irish.......brilli...

Absolutely brilliant....this sextet would hold its own anywhere in Ireland....and that includes Belfast.

Brilliant.....there is something about the piano that brings out the pathos in this beautiful Irish air....very well played....

Absolutely brilliant....only Barenboim plays piano like this.

Brilliant song

Unusual version of this most beautiful Irish song....very like Sumi Jo or even Joan Sutherland...no, it has to be Renee Fleming.....has the singer ever been to The Gweedore Bar in Derry?.....or maybe he's just come from there.....

Lovely account of this beautiful Irish song from the opera "The Bohemian Girl"

Beautiful rendition of this lovely Irish air,taken from the opera "The Bohemian Girl" by Irish composer Michael Balfe.

...best of them all.....

...Derry...best town in Ireland...

..".names like Doherty and Coyle".....and McLaughlin...McDaid....Duffy.....McCann...Bradley...Quigley.­...O'Kane....great names for a great city...

In Belgrade or Belfast or wherever, this is good....well played guys.

Well played you guys.......from one Celt to another.

Whatever, that was brilliant and every bit as good as any Irish band rendition. Your "Rocky Road to Dublin" is great also.....well done guys

That was a good account of this lovely Irish song Sheila; you have a lovely natural voice. It was Dublin born John Stevenson who wrote the music and as you stated Irish poet Thomas Moore wrote the words in 1805. A brilliant version of this song is German soprano Erna Berger and her 'Letzte Rose'....

@reelburke These wigs are not practical; they are too big, cumbersome and crude. Did you ever see a ballerina wearing one?. They have no place in Irish dancing.

One of the truly great German sopranos of the 20th century; a voice of great beauty and effortless flexibility. Very few singers will match Dresden born Erna, in this rendition of this most beautiful of Irish songs, "The Last Rose of Summer", borrowed by Flotow for his opera "Martha."Erna is no l...

Brilliant....real Irish melody..

Excellent piano arrangement conveys the exceptional beauty of this plaintive Irish air. The Irish poet Thomas Moore wrote the words only, the music was written by Dublin born Irish composer John Andrew Stevenson.

Friedrich von Flotow only borrowed this Irish air for his opera 'Martha', first performed Vienna 1847.The words were by Irish poet Thomas Moore and written 1805 in Co. Kilkenny. Flotow is reputed to have said that he would have willingly forfeited all his compositions, just to have written 'The L...

...lovely piano version of this most beautiful of Irish songs, with words that go back to 1805 from the pen of the Irish poet Thomas Moore....

....excellent version by The Fureys of this great Irish song from the opera 'Martha'......words by the Irish poet Thomas Moore written 1805....

Well played version of this beautiful Irish song, borrowed by Friedrich von Flotow for his opera 'Martha', first performed Vienna 1847. The words were written by the Irish poet Thomas Moore 1805......"I'll not leave thee thy lone one to pine on the stem, for the lovely are sleeping, go sleep thou...

I used to hear this, years ago, in Irish dancing competitions in the Guildhall, Derry, at the annual Feis. I agree with 'buttonpusher', Ulster in origin; Derry being the second largest city in the most northern of Ireland's four provinces, viz. Ulster. Also, Derry was founded in 546 by Columcill...

Great, but can we please get rid of those awful wigs.

Brilliant Derry dancers.

Brilliant version of this great tune...the Irish "Road to Dundee"....I wonder which came first.

Joana, this is an Irish song, written by Irish composer John Stevenson, with words by the Irish poet Thomas Moore, written 1805. Flotow merely borrowed it for his opera "Martha, first performed Vienna 1847."

This is an old Irish song and was NOT written by Friedrich von Flotow. The music was by Irish composer John Stevenson and the words by the Irish poet Thomas Moore. Flotow borrowed it for his opera "Martha", first performed Vienna 1847.

Beautiful Irish song from the opera "Martha" 1847 Vienna. Friedrich von Flotow did'nt write the song but borrowed it for the opera. The words were written by the.Irish poet Thomas Moore in 1805.

French composer Adolphe Adam penned this most revered of Christian songs. Sarah's version is brilliant and in the most appropiate of locations, the Vatican.

God bless you Sumi Jo for this wonderful rendition of this, possibly the greatest, of Christian anthems....and thank you Adolphe Adam for its composition.

Well played Colin...you capture the nostalgia of this legendary song.

A song of longing for home....and we ALL know all about that, don't we...a beautiful Irish song, and a great version by American Don McLean.
