It is worth tying to find some video of Stephane Grappelli playing, just to see his face.  Mr. Grappelli ALWAYS played with a sweet smile on his face.  When you see his smile and listen to his playing you UNDERSTAND what an expression of PURE JOY and PURE LOVE his playing was and also why it touches people so deeply.  It is impossible for me to listen to his playing and now smile from the deepest and best part of my soul..  It is sweet, and sad and beautiful music to love by..   The joy he felt and put into his playing is one of the many reasons why his playing will always be loved and the genius of his playing will transcend time.  I feel sad for ANYONE who gives this a thumbs down... They must have a terribly sad life..  His genius is from a time that will never exist again, and we are so luck to be able to hear beautifully restored recordings like this with just a couple of clicks, and for free...

Sadly I never saw Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli play together. But I did see Stephane many times playing the student union bars in London the 1970's. THe first time I saw him live I could not believe just how good he and his band were. And he never stopped smiling,. All talk in the bar stopped and the 100 or so people inside just listened and smiled too. A beautiful man who played beautiful music.

I had the privilege of seeing Grappelli live in concert in Sydney (Australia) in the 1970's. He performed with such warmth and energy. Django Reinhardt plays with the same flair. A style that warms your heart, from a priceless era in music. RIP maestros.

Wow I'm 71 yrs old, and was a rock and roll singer for years. Always loved this stuff.now as I'm older I love it more.

Sitting here misty eyed because this music is so great.

Can not get enough of Stephane Grappelli. Shame Django could not have been around longer.

70 degrees on my porch Christmas Eve 2021. Smoked a little. 🎶Listening to music 🎶watching my bird feeder and the squirrels 🐿. Life is good Merry Christmas 🎄 😎

Django & Stéphane = perfect match

It makes you wanting to have a time travel just to see these marvelous musicians alive and the atmosphere of the Cafe de Paris!

Although this music is a little before my time, I so do appreciate it...what a contrast to the crap we have presented to us today! Long live great music!

Django Reinhardt....."disability?" .... just continues playing sublime guitar.....some people are just mind blowing in their 'force de nature'!

The music perfectly complements the visuals, creating a captivating and immersive experience. Each track is thoughtfully chosen, enhancing the story and bringing the video to life in a unique way that resonates deeply.

I saw Grappelli play once, it was unforgettable!

Stephane Grappelli the violin with with Django Rhinehardt is a treasure to my ears. Who could ask for anything more! Sigh! 8/16, 2020. COVID 19...housebound.

Django lives on in the memory of music future

I saw Grappelli play live in the early 1970s in the UK

I defy anybody to be miserable listening to these incredible musicians

Il n'y a pas de mariage de 2 musiciens aussi beau que Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli. C'est unique et c'est arrivé une seule fois dans l'histoire de la musique !

Listening to Django Reinhardt is pure unadulterated “ear candy”. He was only in his early 40’s when he passed away, but thank God he left us a legacy of wonderful jazz sounds including this delightful album, “I Got Rhythm” which includes “The Sheik of Arabis”.
