Hello!

Post by Karppoo »

Hi, I'm new one here in Libera Dreams. But I've been listening and watching many years (maybe seven years) Libera. Libera have so good harmonies and unique sound that no other group or band doesn't have. My favourite songs are probably Time, Ave Verum, Secret, Recordare, Mysterium (and many more). And of course I like very much Libera's version of Be still my soul because it's Jean Sibelius "Finlandia" (I was born and I live in Finland and SIbelius was born about 40 km away from where I was born and I live)!

I've seen Libera twice in London. Me and my common-law wife were in 2011 and 2012 in St. George Gathedral. It was magnificent concerts, both. And because we are Lutheran, our churches are not so beautiful than in Britain. We were once in York and I really like York's Minster (I whish Libera could make a concert there??). We use to be in London once a year because my common-law wife's cousin live there. And she was last November in Libera's concert with us and she cried after 2 songs becouse she like it so much (she hasn't never heard before Libera).

Sorry, because my native language is Finnish and English is not so good.

Hi Karppoo and welcome!
Glad you found us :)
Don't worry about your English, it's perfectly understandable.
You can relate to the emotional impact of Libera as well as the beauty of voices combined with church architecture. I do too :)
Hope you enjoy your stay on the Forum!

Hello Karppoo,

At last, a Finn who likes Be Still My Soul! And with the exemplary good taste of liking York too :D A great addition to the forum :wink:

Tervetuloa. :) Minäkin olin sattumoisin ensimmäisissä Liberan konserteissani St Georgesissa '11 & '12, ehkäpä ensi kerralla törmätään!

//Right, the rules, sorry about that. All I said was welcome, that in fact my first Libera concerts were at St George's in 2011 and 2012 too, and that perhaps the next time we'll meet there.
