Ave Maria

Ave Maria is not even a song, it is a prayer. Set to Schubert's magical music, the words began to play in a new way, acquiring a completely different sound. I am not a Catholic, I am Orthodox, but despite everything, Ave Maria is for me something personal, beautiful, mine.

I listened to almost all versions of Ave Maria that are on youtube.com. Having chosen the 9 best (in my subjective opinion), I present them to your attention. There are 5 male versions and 4 female versions. Also on my YouTube page you can see a playlist called “Ave Maria”, where all the versions that I liked are presented.

I found this story(?) on the Internet and it really impressed me. Link

Once upon a time, standing at the open window in the corridor and peering into the wall of rain, I caught every sound from open doors his office, which became a stone prison. I listened to music and read Victor Hugo. The remnants of feelings were washed away by the pouring summer rain. I hid behind him as if behind a wall, preferring not to interfere with the storm raging in my soul. The rain washed away the person who suddenly appeared in my life, my broken heart and my work. The only thing I have left is “Ave Maria”.

I didn't know that feelings weren't mutual. I was given the opportunity to fly and then put back in the cage. The bird cannot help but fly.

Physically feeling pain at the sight of the girlfriend of a once loved one, I retreated more and more into myself. All that remains is to close the door so as not to see, not to hear, not to know. I stopped communicating with my friends. Simply because the world around seemed unreal. I listened to them, but didn't hear them. It was empty and dark inside me. And their words only echoed through the abandoned rooms.

I saw peace and freedom from thoughts only through the billowing haze of strong red wine. It was both a sedative and a sleeping pill for me. After a few glasses, I no longer had nightmares or jumped up in a cold sweat. ..

The summer then turned out to be unusually rainy. And I was glad. I could go home in the rain and cry and no one would see it. The rain hid me from people when I didn’t want to see anyone, drowned out the sounds of the city when I could no longer hear them, spoke to me when my loneliness was unbearable.

And then I changed jobs. As if she knew it would be like this. As if she had been preparing for this for a long time. And the rain stopped. Cold winter has arrived. It was difficult and cold. And sometimes I drank wine to warm myself up. It became a pleasant and sweet dessert. It’s strange, but then, at the window, in the rain, I realized that I no longer liked chocolate. Since then, I calmly walk past pastry departments. For dessert I have red dessert wine.

I made new friends. New meetings. New acquaintances. With spring I came to life. I realized that the world is big, and I saw so little of it. I wanted to read. Like thirst. I fell asleep and woke up with a book, a magazine, an interesting article. There was no money for books and I picked up a pen. I started writing uncertainly. About everything. What I see, what I hear, what I feel. Sometimes I stumbled over the past. But it was no longer so painful. I was just ready for it. Maybe she's become a little wiser. A little.

Sometimes she visited them herself. Friends and people from the past. Strangely, many of them have not changed at all. Looking at them, I was horrified, was I really that gray and boring? But still, the changes affected not only me. It's probably contagious. Like the flu, but delayed.

Change always brings something with it. When the clouds clear, the sun always appears.

Between the past and the future there is always the present. But without letting go of the past, you cannot enjoy this very present. We will always be in search - this is the law of the universe. But the most important goal of searches and aspirations is to find yourself.

Encouragement is hope, and incentive is faith. Without these friends, love cannot be found. And love is the heart of the universe. She is limitless and omnipotent. Ave Maria.

Ave Maria. Spring is coming soon. Ave Maria. I'm smiling. Ave Maria. The office where I work has large and bright windows overlooking the main street of the city. Ave Maria. We have the right to the future. Ave Maria. We have the right to happiness.

Execution Vitas I like it the most. This is something beautiful. He has a completely unearthly, magical, extraordinary, pure voice. It's a pity that he plays mostly pop music.

Joshua Bell, probably the most talented violinist I have ever heard. I don't know how he produces such clear and melodic sounds. Absolutely stunning performance of Ave Maria on violin.

Luciano Pavarotti– this is eternal! Everyone should hear this. His rendition of Ave Maria made me cry.

She was the first! Precisely because Celine Dion I fell in love with Ave Maria. For me, her performance will always remain one of the best.

Before Ave Maria, I did not know such a singer as Tarja Turunen. This is a huge omission on my part! She sings wonderfully. I would say that her performance looks organic.

Nana Mouskouri became a discovery for me. This is probably the best female performance of Ave Maria that I have heard. Something wonderful. It's a pity there is no concert recording, but the video presented is quite good.

As far as I understand, Vox Angeli is a French children's group. There may be little professionalism in their performance, but there is a “touching” and sincerity in it, which I personally really appreciate.

Thank you for your attention

Other opinions about this article:

Svetlana, thank you very much!))

I would like to download the recordings in mp3 format. How can I do that? (5)

It's so nice that someone is also into this music. But if it all started for you with Celine Dion, then for me it all started with piano lessons at the age of ten. It was very nice to listen to Ave Maria in such different performances! Thank you, Svetul! (5)

Thank you very much for THIS ALL.

and my Ave Maria also began with Celine Dion =)))

Thank you, God bless us, Svetik!

Each is different, each in its own way, each its own, each. listen and listen.

This is not delight, this is breathlessness and tears in my eyes. (5)

Thank you very much. I accidentally came across this page (although nothing happens by accident.) and stayed for a good few hours, going to YouTube, memorizing and singing Ave Maria. Music is beautiful and eternal! But I never tried to listen to several performers at the same time. And what?! It turned out interesting! I really liked the Georgian girl. Familiar voices from childhood (Mziuri - who remembers). And thank you and keep creating. (5)

Svetik, thank you very much for the selection. Got incredible pleasure (5)
