Not only does Karolina deliver the emotional depth of the piece, but her technical skill on the violin is flawless. The song’s gentle, sweeping melody is complemented by her precise bowing and the smoothness with which she navigates the shifts between higher and lower registers. She’s able to make difficult passages look effortless, all while maintaining the song’s intimacy and beauty.
While the original song is known for its slow, steady build, Karolina’s version has a flowing, almost improvisational feel to it, which gives the song a fresh twist. She puts her own personal stamp on it, allowing the music to breathe in new ways without losing the core of what makes the song so timeless. The rich layers of violin, with her light but passionate playing, make this a beautiful fusion of classical and pop music that resonates deeply with listeners.
