Thank you so much for posting this. I heard her on the Radio 3 show and have been searching youtube ever since in the hope that someone would make it available. Great song, superbly played and sung. Thanks!
I'm just old enough to remember some of the exploits of Johnny Ramensky. At his final court appearance his lawyer was reported as saying Johnny had been seen on more roofs than the famous Fiddler on the Roof. I'm sure there was a movie made of his contribution to the war effort but I haven't been able to find it. Characters like Ramensky are of a bygone era. No modern-day characters come close. R.I.P. Johnny Ramensky. One of the true greats :-)
@@audriusce1501 The son of Lithuanian immigrants, Johnny Ramensky (or Jonas Ramanauskas, 1905-1972), who was born in Scotland, became famous as a robber robber and a skilful fugitive from the most guarded prisons, using his skills and knowledge of explosives during World War II. Parachuting behind the front line, Rommel, Göring and the top commanders of the German military command were blown up, providing documents that had determined the course of the fighting. Awarded for this. Brave in war, adhering to the principle of plundering corporate rather than personal property in peacetime, and avoiding violence even against officials, Johnny deserved the respect of top politicians and generals, as well as criminals and police. Ballads are still sung about him in Scotland. It’s a story beyond the action film about the extraordinary life of a man who couldn’t stand without danger. Based on memoirs and documents, illustrated with photographs, this book tells the story of the son of a Lithuanian legend who became a Lithuanian worker.
Clair sang this song at The proms in the park in Glasgow 2015 and I was wanting to hear this song again, so thanks for the posting, there should be a movie made about Johnny Ramensy and Johnny Depp would be perfect for the role.
The finest singing voice I have heard in many long years. And so very beautiful.
A superb blend of folk and classical. Great song, beautiful voice and perfect accompaniment. Love it. Thanks for posting.

I prefer this version to the one performed at Proms in the Park in Glasgow 2015; it's got more energy and feeling.
cause she took her passion and phrasing from Hamish Imlachs's version, which IMHO is the best.. watch?v=VEs1zU1ZIk4
