Solveig's Song by Meav




Although I am a huge fan of Sarah, I believe Meav's cover is better than Sarah's when it comes to this lovely song. 

However Grieg composed this masterpiece in Norwegian as Sibelius did in Finnish or Dvorak in Hungarian. I think probably because Norwegian pronunciation is a tad bit of challenge for everyone who doesn't speak it. Instead of embarrassing herself and ruin the song, she might choose a language she knows well. 

Fair enough I'd say, although of course not 100% authentic. Yeah right.
