As an old veteran of 25 years service...boy to man...everytime I hear this..and the Last Post.. I cry unashamedly...just because..

This tune reminds me of all the family and friends who I’ve lost over the years, and of course the many people who have lost their lives in the two world wars, I cry each time I hear this tune. Absolutely perfection in all ways ❤️👌👌

Brings tears to my eyes every time I here her play , not ashamed to say , stunning, absolutely.

I have been playing bugle ,cornet, trumpet, e flat horn, baritone and euphonium for 47 years now and can only dream of achieving such a clear tone. Bravo young lady.

I'm old,74. I played the trumpet when I was young. This young lady has complete control of a very fickle instrument. She has that magic touch that makes a trumpet come alive and stir the emotions with clear, beautifully crafted notes. Incidentally, I played slightly to one side on my mouth too.

The real reason she plays so well is she feels the music. As any musician worth his salt should. Bravo young lady.

This. Sound. Track is. Dedicated to. Those. Who. Dyed. In. War. This. Beautiful. Young. Lady. Has. Summed. It. Up. So. Well. And. Handle's. The. Trumpet. With. Such. Passion. Keep up the great work Dj. Andy

The Italian great trumpeter Nini Rosso must be very happy to listen to her playing this masterpiece so magnificently...

I have heard this piece many times,performed by different artists. Nobody but Meliisa plays it with so much emotion. Thank you

This was played at our Nov 11, 2014 Veterans Service in Nova Scotia Canada.....As a 28 year veteran and honoring my Father, Grandfather and 7 other Great Uncles all RYANS.................This was so touching...............LEST WE FORGET. AMEN.

Melissa: This piece is hauntingly emotional. I am lack of words. Bravo. Thanks Million from John, Hongkong

Saw her play this live when she was just 13 years of age. I was completely stunned at how emotional I got that someone so young has such incredible talent.

The Last Post ! Never, ever, heard it so refined ! Utter skill. Wish I could have that played at each of my parents funerals. BUT not just funerals it was beautiful in its own right. TALENT !

This is amazing, I lost my father recently and listening to this reminds me of him with wet eyes.....

Came to hear this version of her playing as I saw her play when she was much younger. Both are equally beautiful and she has grown into a beautiful young lady.

this dear child is like a robot to play with increasing perfection and STILL the heart rending magic such as her skill creates. God Bless you dear wonderful child and deep gratitude for this bittersweet sound. Im in tears right now.

This young artist could accompany the choirs of angels

I absolutely adore this tune as it raises so many emotions and I’ve heard it from several different players, but got to say that this lass does an extremely superb rendition, well done 🎼👌

Et voici Melissa Venema à 17 ans jouant Il Silenzio. Elle a un don vraiment exceptionnel. C'est magnifique ! . Merci pour cette très belle musique.

Ogni volta che ascolto questo inciso non riesco a trattenere le lacrime. Meravigliosa performance !!!!

What an awesome girl !! She also makes sure that everyone can see and hear her equally, --- great stuff.

That’s one the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve heard. Brings me to tears every time.

I have played the trumpet myself since 1981 and also Il Silenzio. It's one of the most delicate pieces there are on trumpet and besides that I used to play this solo myself in my former band, I've heard it being played literally hundreds of times by hundreds of players. But never, never like Melissa. There's only one possible definition for this, and that is: perfection. Absolute sheer perfection. Technically and emotionally. There is just one person that can bring tears to my eyes with this piece...and that's Melissa Venema. BRAVA!!!

I served 22 years in the British Army and have heard the last post played many times. I am retired now but was out running a few months ago using an old ipod that had about 4000 songs on it. This tune came up and I found myself running with tears in my eyes!

As a Vet, the most beautiful Tribute I have heard! Thank you with all my Heart and Love!

Melissa, you did a beautiful job, I used to shed tears when I heard taps,but this made me very teary eyed.Thank you for your beautiful music.

Lindo demais adorei acalma a alma e o espírito, Deus abençoe vcs ❤️💙💛🎵🎺🎤

This piece of music has such tenderness. The melody moves me so much. I cry every time i hear it.

Se me eleva el Alma hasta los cielos cada vez que oigo o escucho esta melodía.

Absolutely magnificent and music to the soul!

So beautiful and so emotional a piece. Goes thru your heart

I am an 88 yr old, started playing trumpet also at 13, then for 25 yrs more, a former band leader, and this lady is so clear & so beautiful a sound, only a few on earth posess & she is among the top 10.

A lovely mixture of Taps and The Last Post. I cannot help but be moved to tears everytime I hear it. Thank you.

Over the top, beautiful music, beautiful performance

Hai suonato.....un bellissimo silenzio.....Bravissima.......complimenti.....sei n.1...👍💐💐💐

What a masterpiece , she`s plays the trumpet like an angel.

Nossa! Esse arranjo é maravilhoso! Que linda Melissa! 😘

At the army camp before falling to sleep at night, years ago. These music was giving power to face all that time

Simply beautiful, never heard such fine tune even in my time in military college . Well done !

Belíssima. Me sinto nas nuvens quando ouço alguém tocar, na minha pré juventude queria ter aprendido a tocarr mas não consegui. Mas agradeço a Deus 🙏🙏 por estar ouvindo aos que tocam e maravilhosamente bem.

I have heard from many artists and all of them are pretty good.Sincerely speaking I think hers the best.Its okay if you don't agree with me.

Still so tender, five years later here, Melissa captures the moment of great music again. Bravo, young lady.

I have heard this by others but Melissa's interpretation is the best. It goes right to my soul Just beautiful.

O interpretare de excepție...! Felicitări & respect, ție și BAND-ULUI...!

Fantástica, belíssima e emocionante. Vertem lágrimas da alma ao ouvir.

This tears me up everytime I hear this.

Solo un' ARTISTA così può suonare in modo tale ,che nel TEATRO c'è un silenzio assordante, tutti concentrati sulla musica.L' ORCHESTRA è fondamentale mentre accompagna,il suono della tromba dandole maggior risalto.NEL FINALE è tutto UN APPLAUDIRE per i risultati ottenuti.QUESTA È MUSICA ,ma anche un ricordo.GRANDI .

FELICITACIONES, MUY LINDA MELODIA ME LLEGO HASTA EL ALMA, UN ABRAZO DESDE CHILE.

Why would anyone give this moving piece played so well , a thumbs down ??

Mais uma vez, cá estou. Ouvindo e vendo ela com toda perfeição. Toda vez uma nova emoção

Lindo demais, sou do Brasil, essa música tocou no velório da minha mãe, me lembro com profunda tristeza....mas foi uma linda homenagem, com um músico que tocou muito bem também. Parabéns vc toca com a alma.🌹

Dear Melissa, how much you've grown since I last saw you on Andre Rieu show. You're just awesome. Keep it up girl and God Bless.

Absolute perfection - music across the Cosmos for sure...... Thank you Melissa Venema...

Amazing such talent, what a beautiful song, the song brings such peace to the soul when see plays.

The movie The Sniper directed by Clint Eastwood used that music to close out the ending. 😢😢

Parabéns! É tudo o que sei dizer nesse momento, enquanto as lágrimas rolam por minha face. Congratulations! That's all I can say right now as tears roll down my face.

Magnifique Merci Melissa pour ce moment intense et riche en émotions

Emozione pura. E ricordi, tanti ricordi, e commozione... Grazie Melissa

Grazie Melissa per questa esibizione. Questo è un motivo che resterà in eterno, il merito e indiscusso va all'indimenticabile Nini ROSSO. Benigno CASU

Mellisa, You are wonderful! You have a wonderful talent, THANK YOU!

Tone is so pure it gave me chills.

Just amazing the best trumpet that ever heard👋👋👋👋👋👏👏👏👏👏👏

Absolutely stunning, i'm speechless, and this was nearly ten years ago... Who knows how much better Melissa is now if that is possible... Love the song, Love Melissa playing it even more...

Outstanding... one of the greatest at such an early age... looks at all of the KZfaq hits to see how she has matured over the years.... :)

As a former sailor, I cry every time remembering my fallen shipmates. Fair winds and following seas to you my brothers.

You young lady are absolutely amazing , their are so many beautiful versions of this. I have the Nini Rosso version in my playlist although your version is softened by other beautiful instruments you really are a master at work, you brought a tear to this big tattooed lumps eye .

Uma notável interpretação de mestre,da garota Melissa Venema. Parabéns pelo acompanhamento da Orquestra, ficou emocionante, e fez me lembrar do jovem soldado que lutou contra o seu pai, que era Capitão, mas estava do outro lado. Coisas do destino, mas mesmo assim esse jovem deixou a letra do Silêncio, hoje conhecida e tocada no mundo, como hino universal.

Melissa is one of my favourit instrumental soloists!

Indeed one of the most beautiful and moving pieces of music I've ever heard.

Not a phone or camera in sight, just listening and loving this young lady play the trumpet effortlessly, astonishingly brilliant ❤😂❤😂

Que bello el sonido de la trompeta cuánta dulzura le das al instrumento inspirado en algo mágico que llega a lo más profundo del corazón y conmueve el alma. Abrazos Melissa desde Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷. Dios te bendiga muchísimo. Algún día no pierdo las esperanzas de estar en tu concierto.....

Bravo Melissa Venema ! Ta trompette pleure toujours ses larmes cristallines sur mon cœur mélancolique .

cada que escucho este tema me parte el alma en llanto es muy hermoso gracias a Dios por dar los dones de expresarnos con melodías como estas .felicidades

Tantas veces la escucho, tantas veces lloro.....¡¡¡¡ cuanto sentimiento Dios mío !!!!!

wow, das ist ja einfach nur traumhaft gespielt. Wenn ich sowas höhre, dann bekomme ich Gänsehaut :-)
