Men get betrayed too. The lyrics are just as poignant applicable to all genders.

​@@BrianVincent-gz2dq ...and men don't know, that women know this... as if we were heartless idiots, who don't know that you've heart too... and sometimes a big heart. Ok, ok...let's just give a hug to each-other 🫂 )))

@@margottfon330 A hug is welcome.🙏.

Hi Eric, about this relationship, I read that Walter, beyond his talent, was someone toxic at that time for Lara because he manipulated her as well as Mariah because he was playing on both sides ... A few years later, he said he really loved Lara but that his "artistic" relationship with Mariah and some pressure from Celine to have the songs first could only lead to their breakup...

@@ildefonsobenitez6624 not sure of the sequence of events you just described. I know Lara herself labeled him as toxic and stated engaging with him was the worst decision of her career. But my understanding is that Walter already had terminated his collaboration with Mariah when he started to create songs for Lara and they fell in love. This has to be confirmed though.

@@ericsicard910 Yes, that's what we learned from the documentary about Lara, but my comments are taken from an article I read about comments that Walter made when he visited Russia a few months ago and that mischievously, the journalist asked him the question if he knew Lara Fabian. And my remarks echoed the tenor of what he had expressed. He answered the question honestly but this story seemed to leave him with a misunderstanding. Finally, everything is not so simple and only they really know the reality of things. Be well!

Beautifully worded…I applaud you, a perfect description of this magnificent very talented performer, underrated here in the USA..😡

@@veralang5261 Agree

Yes. I knew it was Rachmaninoff but I couldn't remember which piece. So thank you for passing on all the details.

@@stephanieellis5399 you and Didy are smarter than me. I had to google, lol.

@@Laraine3 and you are right: Lara has 10 years of classical training and continues to receive voice lessons several times a week even today. When it comes to singing the emotions, you should check her “Je suis malade“ (Didy did a reaction to it). This is considered by many as THE absolute masterclass in conveying emotions. She is currently coaching some young singers on TV and she told them recently “to sing deep emotions without impacting your voice, sing the emotions in your head, feel the emotions in your heart, but keep your throat free”. It seems easy for her 😀

Thank you, a little warning would have been nice 😉😁😂

Dimash is far too way from lara if you compare the two. While lara is full emotion

I know, it’s a shame about her failure in the us. But, know she has a massive following and finally recognized in the US, thanks to you Tube and the reactors.

She deserves every single bit of it 💕

I don't think she failed, I think she chose not to pursue that path. I'm from the UK, and remember being in a Virgin Megastore in NYC around 2000, had never heard of her before, listened to her album, and just had to buy it, I was sure she would be the next Celine Dion. I think she was either badly advised, her label pushed her in the wrong direction just as she had released her first album in English, which was well received in the US. She chose to tour in Europe and the rest is history. A great singer, a great talent, but I just don't think she wanted the limelight, she seems a very sensitive and caring person and not someone who wants to be a superstar.

@@mattpotter8725 Yes I completely agree with you, but that does not prevent that at that time, she had a bad experience of this whole story and the fact that she was not able to demonstrate to the American public her work as an artist. . Be well!!

@@ildefonsobenitez6624 I appreciate what you say, but to me this is a bit of an odd response in a way. Many artists are very well known in Europe, make a lot of money, without "breaking" the US, some are on the fringes, or did the groundwork, but are considered one hit wonders in the US (and even the UK). It's a very Anglo centric view to think she had to concentrate on America. Maybe she just didn't want to. You'd think it it was what she'd really wanted she'd have really pushed for it. I think she was badly advised or pushed down a route that concentrated on her core market, where she was from, with a view to going back to the US after, which never happened, she'd missed the moment. As a Brit I wondered what had happened to her. We didn't have social media and the internet wasn't what it is now so it was as though she just disappeared, when in all reality she didn't.

Thank you michael H. I will sit down an listen through it when i get the chance. 💕

No criticism intended michael H., I have also heard that Broken Vow's music is from the second movement of Rachmaninoff's c minor concerto. But I only hear tiny bits of resemblance. For instance, music to the phrase "Tell me her name I want to know" could certainly be heard as similar to some of the movement's oboe phrases. But to my ear, for any of BV's melody lines to match, you would need to change the key, leave some notes out, add some notes in, & alter Rachmaninoff's phrasing & rhythm. But this is part of the song's lore now, and I'm curious if you know how the comparison started--or if you noticed it as you listened to the music. For example, the song "All By Myself" by Eric Carmen actually lifted sections from the concerto, and a successful lawsuit deemed that song to be copyright infringement

It's on my list 😉

@@didymalgia sure, one of the best performances of The living legend Lara

The same for me. But since I ve learned that it was a concert for TV

@@legitor513 yes a concert for tv broadcast with reduced audience. That would have been ever better as you would have been in front rows to attend this marvel 😀

I'd give away my soul hehehe

Thank you my friend 💕

Thank you so much for all the kind words Phil Piper, they are much appreciated 💕💕That classical connection was just something that stuck to me throughout the song and I had to adress it. I'm glad i was right 😁

Bear hugs returned from Norway 😁😁

You're the best! 💕💕

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you too!

Thank you so much for the kind words Rose ❤️❤️

Interesting enough, you mention this Celine’s song on this reaction: Walter Afanassiev was the producer of this Celine hit, the composer of Broken Vow and apparently the man who betrayed Lara and inspired her lyrics.

💕💕

💕

@@didymalgia Great reaction! - FYI: LARA with links: Lara Fabian is a Canadian of Belgium birth and Italian/Franco/Flemish cultural heritage. Lara spent a decade in a Brussels Conservatory studying piano, composition, and voice. Lara is a full lyric soprano with a vocal range that spans three octaves (A5, B4, BB4, C3, C5, C#5, D5, E5, EB5, F5, F#5, G5) in live performances. She is multilingual; in fact, she speaks Italian, French, Spanish, and English and has sung in 12. Lara, who describes herself as a songwriter/singer, has sold over 30 million records and plays to sold-out venues worldwide. She lives in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, with her husband and daughter. A “50 at 50” - fifty live performances celebrating her 50th birthday had to be cancelled due to COVID-19 but will be rescheduled as “The Best of Lara”.

No. He didn't finish it. That's why it's often called "Adagio for Albinoni". For, not by. However, because it's also known as "Albinoni's Adagio" many mistakenly think he wrote it.

That makes sense. Thank you so much Eric 💕💕

I believe it was recorded in the bowels of Maison Radio Canada on René Levesque Blvd in Montreal. You can see the Radio-Canada/CBC logo in the corner of the video.

I have the DVD of this concert and it's one of my prized objects. The entire concert is a masterpiece.

@@abc456f Does your DVD have the missing footage from mine ? I am desperate to find the missing tracks to restore them in the future like I did with the other songs there : kzfaq.info/sun/PLV-BfzP9ln4xyPy8l43ag7hd20S9PeNiE

​@@abc456f I envy you! Where did you get the DVD from? And does it display subtitled lyrics? Thanks for answering 😊

Thank you for the kind words Aleksandra💕 I will put that song on my list for future reactions. Thank you 💕

@@didymalgia definitely a must see, Lara in broadway mode! But there is a HQ video of the same perf here : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sL1on8SdrbPbqJ8.html

I think it would sound like heaven... I must admit that I am not especially fond of Barbara, but i might like the songs better with another vocalist 😉

Then this is not a dream, it exists and you should look at these: - Yentl Medley : Papa can you hear me / Piece of sky kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sL1on8SdrbPbqJ8.html - Evergreen : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5xgZ6SGl8XXmJs.html Lara is a fan of Barbra since she is a child. And Barbra loves her interpretations very much. She also covered this song Broken Vow from Lara but apparently only a few times in one of her tour and it was not recorded. Lara has a very funny story about what did happen when Barbra called her to get the charts for Broken Vow kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9uTY7tkpryclqs.html

See my comment below, and check the links. I was not sure that by responding to Didy’s response you would get notified. So I decided to wrote this one also

@@ericsicard910 Thank you, it's divine. I've been on my mind with my dad every day since 1999😞

@@bojanalukic8515 when she sang Yentl, her parents were in the audience and this was her 30th wedding anniversary. She dedicated these 2 songs to them and especially her father that invested all the money he had spare to fund her first recording.

Glad you enjoyed

FYI: 'irregardless' is not a word. And if it was it would mean the opposite of what you intend. Use regardless. Cheers!

Get in the queue!😅.

She's already on my list of future reactions my friend 😁😁

Thank you so much Olaf, I have Jackie Evancho on my list so I will get to her eventually. I will save the links you posted, that's very much appreciated.💕

@@didymalgia Lara did write some new lyrics on this song especially for Jackie, at Jackie’s parents request. They found some original lyrics were not fitting a girl from this age.

Jeg takker og bukker for din gode tilbakemelding, jeg setter svært stor pris på den Martin Weng 💕💕 Noen gang så treger man ikke skjønne hva sangene handler om, man bare føler det. Det er en av de fantastiske tingene med musikk, den når deg selv om du ikke skjønner... Tusen takk for anbefalingen og linken.
