Enjoying Us and loved the classical music from episode 2 set in Venice
was it Monteverdi could I have information regarding this
Peter K
This was the beginning of Bach Cello Suite No1 in G Major
What was the Kate Bush song used in a flash back scene following the death of their daughter, Jane in hospital?
A Coral Room
I thought so
What was the music sung by the counter tenor in the Venice episode (2)?
Vivaldi. Cantate “Cessate, omai cessate”. RV684. The countertenor is Andreas Scholl.
What was the operatic music as Douglas walks around Venice?
I think it’s Vivaldi – Cessate, omai cessate: “Ah, ch’infelice sempre” sung by Andreas Scholl or maybe Jakub Orlinski??
Thankyou so much Willi. Been searching for this. It’s so beautiful 😊
Thank you willi been searching for it all day much appreciated
Definitely Andreas Scholl – I used to have the album and I am hunting for it in my attic!!
Hi I’m really enjoying this new series but can anyone tell me what music is played for the trailer to this series regards Bryn
If your after the zylaphone song. It is by Hans Zimmer and called ‘Your so cool’. Originally used on the True Romance soundtrack.
Thanks that’s brilliant been searching for ages once again for all you’re help
What was the song played when Douglas was at the rubbish tip in series one? Must be an opera duet from somewhere? Thanks
Mozart – Cosi Fan tutte – Trio “Soave il vento”
Who sang at the end of episode 3 of Us and what was it called please,
Kate Bush sang a little bit but the one I think you may mean is Schubert’s “Im Abendrot” – a lieder perhaps sung here by a mezzo-soprano, someone like Bernarda Fink??
I’d need to watch it again, but almost certainly Bernarda Fink. Absolutely sublime. https://youtu.be/JthBYaiU8zU
Fantastic. Was about to give up searching. Recognized it immediately as d799, one of my very favourite pieces of music. My much loved version is by Barbara Bonney. This I think is even better. As you say sublime. Thankyou
Which Erasure track was playing in the flash back in episode 2? Thanks
‘Always’ was taken from Erasure’s Number 1 album ‘I Say I Say I Say’
Thanks Willi, that track will be perfect for the first dance at my forthcoming wedding to the love of my life Tony! Thanks again.
You’re welcome – that song takes me back some. Let’s hope no more restrictions on weddings then, Rob!
Let’s hope that a vaccine has been developed by then. Thanks for your speedy reply.
Can you tell me the classical music ( soprano) played in episode 3 of US on bbc 1
Schubert ‘Im Abendrot’ – see above response.
In case anyone is any doubt, the song in Ep 4 of Us was ‘Who knows where the time goes’ performed by Fairport Convention (sung by Sandy Denny who also wrote it, I believe).
Thanks. I’ve just been searching for this. We knew it was Fairport Convention but didn’t know the song.
Thanks! I Remember that song. So beautiful.
Thought it may have been Joan Baez , so thanks for that. yes , Sandy Denny did write it in her late teens-wonderful!!
Does Kate Bush sing on the soundtrack?
What song plays in the Louvre, after they have finished looking at The Raft of the Medusa?
It’s the intro of the lovely aria “Porgi Amor,” from Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro.
By the way, I think the little bit before that was Purcell – King Arthur – Cold Genius’ Song (bass singing jauntily) but I may be wrong on that one!
Last song last episode I’m sure it was a Joni Mitchell number not from Blue the album .was it put in because of own personal loss of a daughter through totally different situation . Sounded very Joni help appreciated denfa
Fairport Convention – see above.
Willi cheers just found it Sandy Denny https://youtu.be/LQWqlbaI6bc. Beautiful
Where can i buy soundtrack, link to amazon is not working
Willi cheers just found it Sandy Denny https://youtu.be/LQWqlbaI6bc. Beautiful you wete spot on thanks
In one of the episode there was a kids tv theme from the 1970s. Someone please put me out of my misery and tell me what it is .
Does anyone know what the party background music is playing at around 15 mins into episode 1? It takes me right back to my Uni days!
I think you mean Erasure’s ‘Always’ – see above response.
Thanks but no its not Erasure, someone more obscure. Its kicks off around the 15 minute mark on episode 1 during a flashback party scene.
Yeah I think it’s papau new Guinea the future sound of london
Yes that’s it! Thank you so much!
Does anyone know the classical music playing when they’re on bicycles in Amsterdam (8m30) on way to Rijks museum?
I believe the piece you’re referring to is a one of Vivaldi’s mandolin concertos. Problem is I’m not sure which one.
