Mari Samuelsen – Moonlight

Mari has always enjoyed the challenge of rethinking familiar works – as can be heard in the new interpretations of music by Bach, Jóhannsson and Max Richter on 'Mari', her debut DG album. The ever popular “Moonlight” Sonata, however, holds a particularly special place in her heart.

“When listening to the ‘Moonlight Sonata’,” she explains, “I feel my soul getting detoxified. It’s like an internal cleansing of my emotional and mental system, a dream or a fantasy where you’re invited into a different world for some five minutes. I think it’s impossible to define if it’s dark or light. It gives me a feeling of hope and enlightenment, and of reflection and consciousness.”

This is beyond mind blowing. We would have less problems in this world if people would just stop for this 5 minutes and listen to her playing this.

Первый раз слышу эту вещь в струнном исполнении. Это прекрасно!

[eugenetrollip]

Absolutely beautiful. Don't normally fancy an orchestral version, but this is full of soul

[VanessaMaeFan]

Never would I thought to hear Moonlight Sonata be transcribed into an orchestral setting. The arrangement is well done and I will say that there is a ton of depth having the principal instrument front and center. Very balanced. Any recording that Deutsche Grammophon produces, I know what to expect: virtuosic mastery and perfection.

This interpretation is the real proof of the value of universal art for humanity forever.

[Dimmo]

It is so difficult to tell what is more beautiful, Mari or her music....they are perfect combo nevertheless.
