Leonard Cohen and Jennifer Warnes Sing Silent Night: Brighton – 1979
This Leonard Cohen-Jennifer Warnes duet of Silent Night with Raffi Hakopian on violin was performed and recorded (audio only) at the December 15, 1979 Brighton, England concert. I’ve constructed a video montage of photos of Cohen and Warnes, drawings by Leonard Cohen, and a clip of a very young Leonard and his sister Esther skating to complement the music.

Thank you very much. Such a beautiful song and interpretation. The church or chapel where the song was performed for the first time 200 years ago is only 5 kilometres away from where I live, near Salzburg in the Alps. Both the composer and the poet of STILLE NACHT were born in this area. Thank you for sharing.
