I have been a working musician for 46 years, have played country, bluegrass, jazz, rock & roll, southern gospel, etc. since I was 14 year old. I am now 60 and proclaim that I have never heard ANYTHING as beautiful as the music made by these two remarkable people. I will treasure their music the rest of my days, and I fervently hope they receie the acclaim they so richly deserve. Buddy Davis
Were I King. I would bestow upon this couple: ten times their weight in fine gold; and one tenth of my kingdom, for this performance, and the promise of more. I know I'm "laying it on pretty thick", but I mean it. A treasure. Thanks so much.
I'm addicted to this song! Great balance, great inspiration. Fantastic performance, it makes me dream awake. Thank you Asteria for this piece of poetry.
I used to like music like techno and shit like that. Until in an accident I got this video, man, it really changed me, soon i started to see the beauty that music really is. I started hearing this music and then a friend of mine introduced me to Bach's compositions which really rocked my mi mind and my way of looking at things. Now i play the guitar, mostly classic pieces and flamenco. I owe this all to this beautiful and so talented lady and this outstanding guy. I wish i could see yo live. Thx
hopefully the algorithm picks this video up again, don't know why i suddenly remembers or have this tune just out of the blue came across my mind. Liked this video back in 2007 and now in 2023 i still loves this!
OMG -- that wonderful composer, Anon., does it again. What a beautiful song. Asteria truly gives us a sublime rendition of this music. It's fascinating to hear & see that five-course late medieval lute. Both voices are gorgeous, but he gets special recognition for singing and playing at the same time, which is essentially playing two instruments at once.
Bravissimi. Interpretazione perfetta di una canzone antica che torna nuova, come appena composta. lei ha un'intonazione e una voce stupenda e lui l'accompagna non solo con lo strumento.
Translation in English: If the gentle maiden, The most gracious and beautiful, She, with whom I am in love, Desires only to make me happy, Should I not grant her wish? Certainly yes - for she is the one Who calls me her sweet love - I could not be happier! Pleasure renews itself in me. I desire no other lover but her - To serve her everywhere Within my power, For good or better, That is my wish.
Français en plus! Wonderfull! Totaly amazing voice and nice lute playing style. Merveilleux! une voix tout à fait épooustouflante et un style musicale que j'adore!
Forever on the cusp of the eternal now and ages bygone Such sublime ecstatic ascetic transfigurative Every atom realigning heart and soul And cosmos widening beauty.
I stumbled upon this gem of music in behalf of Skyrim mods developers, particularly the "Become A Bard" content. This gives me one of those spiritual relaxing experience. Despite that I don't know the language, the melody still gives a wave of comfort. You guys are so awesome.
Love it. Watch Eric. You can see how he's into the music. How can you help being moved? I love his voice and wish it were somewhat more prominent. He seems to think of himself as background more than as an equal part.
@ecumedesjours Merci ce n'est plus la peine car j'ai trouvé facilement et gratuitement la partition en format téléchargeable .pdf sur le net après une recherche rapide. De plus, je suis parvenu à reconstituer la deuxième voix, très discernable sur la video YT d'un sympathique duo belge.

The channel Asteria is one of the jewels of TH-cam.

They made me do something I haven’t done in decades: buy a CD!!!!!!! How lovely and precise at the same time!
I've had this song stuck in my head for the last two days. Doesn't happen very often!
Beautiful job. The day will never come when I could play and sing at the same time!
This has remained my favorite piece of music over many years. Thank you Asteria!
This chanson makes me melt, exquisite!

They are so emotionally in tuned in to each other. Very expressive and beautiful. Her voice is pure joy.

Più l'ascolto e più mi piace...Spero di poter apprezzare ancora molti brani come questo...Grazie!!!
Never have I experienced such exquisitely beautiful music. This song has haunted me for years. Thank you from my heart.

Fantastic Performance. They captured a wonderfully quixotic and somewhat sad feeling in the song. Great Musicianship. Bravo.
Extraordinaria. Toca el alma y alegra el corazón, No me canso de escucharla. Gracias Asteria

wonderful song...
Beautiful !
Loving the flower of life in the middle of the instrument in the beginning of the video.
Her voice sounds so beautiful in that room
Love it. Watch Eric. You can see how he's into the music. How can you help being moved? I love his voice and wish it were somewhat more prominent. He seems to think of himself as background more than as an equal part.
Gorgeous!
Lovely. Thanks for posting!
meraviglia!! bravi!
Fantastic! I enjoyed it so much!
magnifique
Thank You
uma das mais belas coisas que já ouvi na vida
Heavenly!!!
@ecumedesjours Merci ce n'est plus la peine car j'ai trouvé facilement et gratuitement la partition en format téléchargeable .pdf sur le net après une recherche rapide. De plus, je suis parvenu à reconstituer la deuxième voix, très discernable sur la video YT d'un sympathique duo belge.
