    Stunning rendition of this fabulous piece. Trust that this ensemble from Bard will be heard again.

    Cant count the number of times i've listened to this performance. I wish there was a way of getting a copy of this Fifth Veil performance. Stunning. Beirut is as awesome as ever. Glad i got to see this live.
