Your reaction is priceless! 50 years ago I was a young Black kid from The South Bronx, working my way through college at Philharmonic Hall in Lincoln Center. Because I worked with the box office staff, when the shows started I was off, and I could take any empty seat in the house. I was lucky enough to hear Pavarotti sing at least half a dozen times. He filled the hall with his voice and his spirit. He was a big man with a big heart. There was never a dry eye in the house when he sang. I still find it hard to listen to this without tears welling up in my eyes.Thank you so much for introducing him to a whole new generation. I will be 70 in a few weeks and I have always believed that one should listen to every kind of music you can get your hands on, no matter where your life began!
@@jamestobler8473 I would have loved to see Louis live! It's funny that you should write this today. This afternoon I was watching him on TV in the movie "High Society", with Bing Crosby, and Grace Kelly. Synchronicity, big time!
@@davidjones-bh5xg I have no idea David. But his voice did move you, just not in a positive way I guess, so I suppose that would mean you do have a soul after all 👍
I heard Luciano in his prime in concert, and got to meet him. It was the thrill of a lifetime! He said his vocal chords were kissed by God. He was right.
Me too. I worked on repairing his costume and was backstage for his American debut w Joan Sutherland. I saw him several times in his young prime. Heaven sen gift.
Many people aren't into opera but there is no denying that this man is probably the greatest vocalist of all time. Utterly astounding a human can do this.
Muitas das pessoas que dizem não gostar, infelizmente é porque não tiveram a oportunidade ou paciência para sentar, por um par de fones de ouvidos, se por em um ambiente silencioso onde ela possa vivenciar toda a produção da música e deixar a música invadir sua alma. Quem faz isso e não chora ouvindo Pavarotti simplesmente não tem alma, não tem sentimentos.
Just the look on his face at the end... you can tell he goes to another place...his soul is just freed. It's spectacular. There really are no words to describe this talent.
@@RS54321 in certain circles in rome this la performance is referred to as "gods touch" its as if god stroked his face and his face shows that moment you are very observant not many know or see it
Yes, his expressions are interesting, aren't they? Remember that this is just the most famous aria from a full opera, and opera is as much about acting as it is about singing. He's using the facial expressions that convey the character's emotions: a character he played a thousand times on stage. If you don't know already, look up a translation of the lyrics and a synopsis of the play's plot. Better yet, watch a performance of the whole opera. His facial expressions take on new meaning when you do.
When I was in the UK during my dads last illness and death , I played this DVD continuously while driving back and forth to the hospital......It made me cry , and helped be grieve ...Thank you Luciano , There will never be another like you ..xxx
@@kohedunn don’t forget about Puccini who put together this masterpiece of human achievement. Also I’m sorry for your loss but glad you atleast had this to console you.
The look on your face takes me back to the first time I was introduced to Pavarotti !!! At first your speechless then your just gobsmacked and then there’s the tears !!!! My dad (who introduced me to Pavarotti, I was 12yrs old at the time) put his earphones on me and told me to listen to the greatest singer I’ll ever hear, he told me I would never ever hear a voice like that again in my lifetime, so far he’s right !!!! I’m so glad you shared your Pavarotti experience with us, you will never ever forget it, the time the day his name and even the title of the song even tho you don’t understand a word of it !!! Ask anybody to name an Opera singer and instantly the answers Pavarotti !!!! Love to everyone, from Scotland 🏴🏴
The terrifying thing is when you realize that he was 59 at the time of this performance... and understand that (like every other human) his voice was even more powerful when he was younger.
Not really, in fact his teacher didn't think he was ready until he was almost forty. Like wine the voice need to mature but this is something we Italians only can fully understand.
@@edigabrieli7864 Not so. Pavarotti was fantastic here. Even at nearly 60 he's better than other tenors at the height of their careers. Even so, the only thing better than Pavarotti here in this video in 1994 is young Pavarotti in the 60's and 70's when he was in his 30's and 40's. His voice is absolutely scintillating with a tone that's so pure it's breathtaking. In fact, if you can find it, the audio recording of his professional stage debut in La Boheme in the 60's is on RU-vid. He went on as the understudy, and someone made an audio recording of his first aria. When he hits the high C, you can literally hear the audience gasp because of the purity of his tone. That gasp is the sound of a star being born. Although Pavarotti is superb in this performance from 1994, all singers lose their luster over time. Pavarotti was no exception because he was human, too. Still, even he can't compare to himself from the 60's and 70's. His voice was definitely more powerful and with even more clarity in his tone. It seems impossible just hearing how good he is here at nearly 60, but it's the truth. His voice was transcendent in the 60's and 70's.
I must add to your most apt comment. I read some years ago that of an opera audience, the ladies sit there, bemused by the story, and it is the men who cry, who sob. I am afraid I cry, so I cannot confirm this.
@@gladyslustgirdle3004 The funny thing is that when Pavarotti delivers that last bit you can see his eyes tear up and the shock on his face as the rush of endorphins & dopamines kicks in to the point of near orgasmic emotional intensity as it passes through his body & soul. I think even he is shocked by his own abilities at times.
I'm of two minds as to which rendition was best. At the Caracalla Baths four years before or this rendition. Either way, we're totally spoiled to have the chance to argue over which was best!
Pavarotti was pushing 60 here, which is remarkable. He still sounds brilliant, but it is far from his best. Listen to the high note on the 1979 Lincoln Center video, for example--it is effortless and held longer. Totally agree that no one will ever sing it better, though 🙂
Your reaction is typical of many I have seen when listening to the greatest tenor ever for the first time. My own preference in music is rock but if you can't appreciate a man like Luciano Pavarotti then you don't like music.
Saw him in Baltimore, Maryland with my wife in the early 1990's when we were 40 years old. He sang for close to an hour, had all of the audience 1) in tears for the beauty of his voice; and 2) had us causing the entire building to vibrate because of the applause and screams upon completion of his performance - IT WAS BETTER THAN ANY MUSICAL OR VOCAL GROUP OR CONCERT PERFORMANCE WE HAD EVER SEEN IN OUR LIFETIME !
💞 Thank you for sharing this once in a lifetime moment ~So Blessed. I would have loved to have been there experiencing it too. 😍 I Had the blessing of seeing Mikhail Baryshnikov dance back in the 80's & I floated out of the theatre ~ in complete disbelief of what my eyes had been blessed to see 👀🤗. Hoping these next generations can realize the importance of seizing the moments to see these magnificently talented artists too.
For us Italians is iconic ❤ our flying acrobatic team ends the show with this song….they all fly over the sea with the end of this song and our flag colors. So moving ❤
Hi, empathetic and sensible young man ❤️ I’m a 60 years old Italian lady and I really got impressed by your reaction listening to Pavarotti. You’re very sensitive to music cause your expression changed in the “right” moments. You really feel music and this is awesome. I’m so proud to be Italian as my country is the heart of opera music. This is not a song, it’s a “romanza”, a piece of an opera, composed by Giacomo Puccini, called Turandot. The action takes place in China and Turandot is a princess. Her beloved is Calaf and this is the one who sings “nessun dorma” that means “nobody has to sleep”. This part of the opera has become a kind of hymn for Italian people because the last words are “all’alba vincerò “ (at dawn I’ll win). This is the music played, for example, during every important event, especially when our acrobatic air team flies showing our flag colors in the sky 😍 I don’t want to be boring 😁 So glad you appreciate our music!!!
I Hope you'll enjoy the translation, Aldo the lyrics are so intense: Calaf, the unknown prince :) None shall sleep! None shall sleep! You too, princess, In your cold room You watch the stars Trembling of love and hope... But the mistery of me is locked inside of me No one will know my name! No, no, I will say it on your mouth, When the light will shine! And my kiss will melt the silence that makes you mine. (Choir, voices of women:) No one will know my name... And we will, unfortunately, have to die, die! (Calaf, the unknown prince:) Leave, oh night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At sunrise I will win! I will win! I will win!
Nothing boring at all in learning some more about a true masterpiece. I hope you will forgive me for what I say next. But I will explain afterwards. I can never say RIP to The Great Pavarotti. The reason though is that although he has passed from this mortal realm, a Demi-God among men like him will NEVER truly die. Legends live forever. Thank you so much for sharing the slight overview that you have on this Masterpiece
I just saw Andrea Bocelli sing this last night in Raleigh, North Carolina, and it made me think I could be very happy to be Italian! I've been to Italy three times and I love it there.
Don't apologise for liking this. I'm a rock guy but it reduces me to a gibbering mess every time I watch it. Now - for something different - the duet with James Brown "It's a Man's World." Owwww!
He certainly got to me. I'm a big classic C/W fan. I fell in love with George Jones the first time I heard his voice. He stayed my favorite C/W singer and is still number one to me. Never cared for opera. When I lived in Germany as a child my mother dragged me to listen to opera. She wanted to teach me our German culture. I always was bored to tears. But When I stumbled across Pavarotti, I clicked on it by accident. I was totally speechless, never knew opera could sound like that. The ones my mother dragged me to, never sounded like that. My whole body was covered in goosebumps. I listen over and over to that mans voice. It was my soul reacting to his voice. And for a talent like his, to get throat cancer had to be devastating to him. I didn't knew the details about his life, till I read almost all the comments. What a Zauberhaftes voice he had. I was spell bound. I know that I will listen to more of his soulful and so much emotion packed songs over again. His voice comes directly from his soul. When he sang, he was transported to another dimension. You could see it on his face and transported me with him.
@@jeannecarroll683 I agree with you about Mahalia. When she sings Go Tell It On The Mountain, she touches my very soul. Pavarotti was in a class by himself. There were many good tenors but he stole my heart with his beautiful voice.
"let me know if there's anymore powerful performances..." lol...EVERY performance by Pavarotti is powerful, he went big and hard every time like the true operatic master that he was
Maybe this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Eg-59NoES2o.html It is difficult to compare them. For me they are all "the best" in their own way.
Someone please tell Jordonick the story behind the aria. I love how he is grooving on the Performance as pure sound but I’m sure he’d love to know the story . Mary G
@@Antonio-qm3bi Truth be cold, Corelli was the best. Even Luciano said it, he said he had "vocals of steel". Coming from Luciano, that's a VERY BIG compliment.
Two things to remember about this particular Pavarotti performance. I. It was for a charity established by Jose Carreras after his near death experience (very near) with leukemia a couple of years earlier. Has pulled in BuckEts of money over the years, mainly from the sale of the album(s). 2. Pavarotti was by far the oldest of the 3 tenors, born in 1935. If you want to hear the glorious magic of this unbelievable voice at its prime, try any recording you can find from, say, 1985 or earlier. It's like whipped cream, your favourite ice cream and every other luscious indulgence you can think of - all rolled into one.
Io continuo a piangere ogni volta che ascolto Luciano Pavarotti, osservo il suo viso, l'impegno che mette, la concentrazione per raggiungere questa perfezione, non sbaglia una nota e... E gli voglio bene, è una persona che ha dato tutto se stesso per la musica e per il pubblico 💕
Potrà sembrare una cosa altisonante e anche sin troppo nazionalista, ma credo che l'Italia abbia avuto (ed abbia ancora) i migliori tenori e le migliori soprano del Mondo.
It is heartbreaking to listen to the interpretations of "Nessun Dorma" by maestro Luciano Pavarotti. A very powerful voice, but at the same time enveloping. Other tenors don't have his vocal strength or his sweetness. When we Italians listen to "Nessun Dorma" we immediately recognize whether we are listening to Pavarotti or other singers. This composition is so beautiful that I have loved it since I was a child, just as I loved the "Pavarotti and friends" concerts. I listen to "Nessun dorma" even in the only symphonic version with the cello. For us, Pavarotti's death was the fall of a living legend, it was a state funeral followed on TV with the participation of all of us and unparalleled emotion.
This song is the perfect example of when you find yourself crying because of art. It embodies the divine despite being done by humans. Luciano Pavarotti is the most beloved singer in Italy, he is not even put together with any other singer because he is on a league of his own in our minds.
This was like the "perfect storm'', the singer, the song, the musicians , the choir... and yes, even the audience energy feeding into it to the point of incandescence !! It burns into your soul... 😌 😎👍☘️🍺
So nice to see you watching this and getting emotional! You've got the true feeling for music! Unfortunately not all people can sense this power, beauty, feeling!
@@treywest268 he has a good voice but not great yet, he has a way to go before he is in his prime. Tenors reach their prime in middle age so until then I will reserve judgement
You have just been introduced to opera! The reason the hair on your arms was standing up is because great singing and music transports us to a place other than this world. It directly connects us to the angels and to the heavens.
Puccini is one of the more emotional composers. Your reaction to it is pretty much the same for most people. So happy you shared this with a new generation of listeners. This kind of stuff must never be forgotten--it's just too good. Try O soave fanciulla.
Well we can’t know for sure as they weren’t all recorded for us to hear. That being said he’s the best I ever heard. Had the chance to see him live during his farewell tour. He’d lost a bit of that amazing instrument, but was still incredible.
May I interest you in Jussi Björling? A swedish tenor, of whom Pavarotti is famously known to have said "Please, don't compare me to Björling. I'm just a man."
My dad used to listen to Luciano Pavatotti when I was a kid. I was not an opera fan, but when our dad took us to see Pavarotti in concert, I was blown away.! I will never forget that experience and it was over 40 years ago. BTW, great reaction.
actually the longest applause was for pavarotti in Berlin 67 minutes.... one hour and seven minutes, wow he has the record for curtain calls, also 165 in one night,
@@WorldifySanity No, this is the kind of personality that thrives on that kind of acknowledgement. It will have been the best night of his professional life. The man was beyond phenomenal, his is a once in a century voice, you will not hear anyone like him in your life time.
All of his colleagues called him 'maestro' because he was the greatest tenor who ever lived and possibly may ever live. 🐐 It's so good to know that his work is not forgotten. Opera music isn't accessible to everyone, particularly when performed live, but just knowing that today's generation are still discovering the power of the genre through video performance reactions is wonderful to see.
Years back I went to a recital of Dame Kiri Te Kanawa...I was amazed at all the young guests. Last year went to a local orchestra, afterward there was a horde of tweens mobbing the performers like rock stars vying for selfies...who could of imagined!!!❤
The greatest tenor that ever lived. I was very fortunate to see him 5 times in person, 3 with the other 2 great tenors and 2 solo. I am of the rock generation and no concert of any group has ever and now will never compare to Pavarotti. Thanks for your wonderful review of him. When he died I was afraid that your generation and others after would never know his greatness. You restored my faith.
THIS PERFORMANCE IS STUNNING IN THAT YOU CAN SEE HIM 'GO THERE' 100%, & WHEN COMPLETE YOU SEE HIM SLOWLY COME BACK, WATCH HIS EYES, HE IS 'THERE'! IVE SEEN HIM LIVE 2X. ANYTHING HE SINGS IS MAGICAL. WELCOME ABOARD!
my man...no matter what you listen to all the time....this is the best music ever sung in the history of earth...that voice cant be matched...he was soooo dang good...dont matter you cant understand a word he is saying....just fantastic stuff man......love it.
No dorma is a romance from Puccini's opera Turandot. It is sung by the character of Calaf at the beginning of the third act. Immersed in the Beijing night, in total solitude, the "Unknown Prince" awaits the dawn, when he will finally be able to win the love of Turandot, the ice princess. Pavarotti is the best tenor in the world. No discussions. If you understand the lyrics during the romance you maybe could cry so i. Sorry for my English. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
@@6666Imperator And I believe you and it's true. I just wanted to say that Italian is a beautiful language and in opera the combination lyrics-music is magical. "Dilegua notte tramontate stelle all'alba vincerò ". Thanks for your opinion, i appreciate it. 🙏
@@banamarco true I didn't mean it as a knock on your statement. More like a reassurance that the feelings get through to us listeners despite the different languages :)
Puccini wrote this while battling throat cancer and hoping to finish this his last opera before he died. Sadly he never completed it as he suddenly died from a heart attack after enduring the treatment for the cancer which consisted of cutting a hole in this throat and inserting radium needles into the tumor. The opera was eventually completed by Franco Alfano. At the first performance which was conducted by Toscanini , Toscanini put down his baton at the point in the 3rd act where Puccini stopped composing turned to the audience and said "This is where the Maestro put down his pen, for me the work ends here" . The completed opera was performed the second night.
I'm as old as the hills, a Granddad by RU-vid standards, just thought I'd say this. My late father, god rest his soul, went through the hell of WWII, from start to finish. On one tour he made his way to the coast on a train filled with brave soldiers and sailors bound by their duty to go to War. Either to cross the English channel to fight in Europe or to head out on ships to fight on the high seas. On that train was a young Welshman, nothing more than a boy really. The young man stood up and started singing 'Nessun Dorma' and the song 'Danny Boy'. The young man's voice was so beautiful the higher Ranked Officers actually insisted the train be stopped so as many as possible could hear him sing... A good percentage of those soldiers and sailors never made it home. Including the young Welshman who sang for them. He lost his life fighting for his country.
@@susanwenner8738 I never meant to make you cry Susan and I apologise for it. But that is a true story. In a way I appreciate your seeing the sadness in it because it passes on a small window into the brutal world my late father was part of. But it is only one of many, a lot of which are absolutely horrifying. I grew up hearing those first hand accounts (and my fathers Nightmares as he relived them in his sleep). Some would say they are not the sort of thing you should tell children but I disagree, because without those eye witness accounts being passed through the generations those sacrifices would be lost forever. History is being actively changed as we speak simply because those accounts are Too 'Uncomfortable' for what has become an Ungrateful world. These days weak people latch on to the 'Bad' in history and conveniently forget that the very soil they walk on is drenched in the blood of thousands upon thousands of Brave Men and Women who laid down their lives so those weak, thankless people could even have a right to an opinion. In all honesty and with good reason, they make me sick :(
Ah, reminds me of my late Welsh Uncle Mike. Also loved to get up and sing in any public place. May they rest in peace. I should say he was in British army after WW2 as well in Malaysia.
I was a young beer-swilling Irish cop from the West Bronx when I heard Pavarotti for the first time 50 years ago. I had always liked pop, rock, blues, country, and folk music but couldn't stand jazz or opera. My attitude towards opera changed forever when Luciano brought tears to my eyes with this one.
Loved your reaction, this never fails to hit my inner soul... This was used for the 1990 Italia World Cup theme song, it catapulted Luciano (bless his soul) into mega stardom, considered by many in his field as the greatest opera singer of all time.... Plus he was a gentle giant, he left us much to soon R.I.P 🙏
Luciano was one of the 3 great operatic voices at this time! He was beyond great! He transended opera to mainstream music. People flocked to hear him sing! The world lost a great one when he passed! RIP!😰❤🌹
He is literally breathtaking singing that last note. You should watch Luciano Pavarotti and James Brown's "It's a man's world". Those two icons make it look easy.
I can't see how any human on earth could not be moved by this performance! Thank you ! (it always seems to me like he's staring at something unworldly while singing this)
Luciano is going to go down in history as one of the greatest tenors of all time. Back in the 1970s I fell in love with him. I'm almost 70 now, and I still love to hear him sing. His voice is so natural...he was so humble.
Respect to you for your respect and appreciation to one of the greatest who ever sang! Prior to Italia90 the World cup, majority of us knew nothing about opera or this unique gentleman, we do now. He will always be immortal!
He is considered one of the greatest male tenors in the history of operatic performers. He also performs with artists like James Brown, Sting and others. His performances are unbelievable.
All of his performances are SPECTACULAR!!!💜💜💜🎵🎼🎶 Italian is the language of love...the man could have sung a cookbook and brought everyone to tears!!!💜💜💜💜
Słów brak, prawda? Nie ma takich słów, które by to mogły opisać. To jest czysta sztuka, dar, łaska, coś ponad nami wszystkimi. Pozdrawiam Pana serdecznie. To nie szok, to odezwało się Pańskie serce.
Thank you for sharing your experience. No one can hear this and not be touched by it. It stops me in my tracks when I hear it. I have to sit down and hold my hands on my chest to keep my heart from breaking. I am an 84 year old great grandmother. I was touched by your reaction and hope you always carry this memory in your heart. Bless you, new friend.
I never cared for opera, but this man gave me a totally different understanding of opera. I got goosebumps all over my body. This was such a powerful performance and it touched me deeply. Jordongk, your reaction felled genuine to me. It actually left you speechless.
I weep every time I hear Luciano sing this song. I heard him sing live, in West Palm Beach, FL, in the 1970's, and it was fabulous and absolutely unforgettable.
Amazing, genuine reaction, man. Love how deeply you were moved by what is some of the most beautiful music every composed performed by one of the very greatest to have sung.
You have to understand that Pavarotti has the Greatest voice of our time, the Depth, the feeling he puts into singing combined with his voice it touches your soul.
When I first heard and witnessed this performance I realized why some cry. Especially the finale when he brings EVERYTHING and climbs vocally emotionally higher and higher-I was going back 10 seconds over and over. Good God Pavarotti had a GIFT!
Power. Grace. Beauty. Did i miss anything? Unreal. Epic. Soul-moving. You can keep going forever and not hit every word to describe how this makes me feel every time i hear it and i've heard it many, many times. I hope you enjoyed it as much as your watchers did!
I'm 71 years old. When I was a teenager my dad would play Pavarotti albums. After each song dad would interpret the lines in English. Dad learned Italian when he was in Italy during WWII. Dad lived until 3 years ago. He passed away at 97. He would also converse with the pizza shop owner in our hometown who was from Sicily. Dad never had to pause or fumble for words when he had conversations with Vince.
The BBC basically introduced Britain to Luciano when they used an earlier recording of this as their introduction to coverage of “Italia 90”, the UEFA championship finals that year. It topped the charts. I bought it, and played it endlessly. 30 years later I well up every time hear it. One of the best parts of this performance is the look on his face when he’s finished. It’s an incredibly moving piece for something so short. Check out other reactors… the response is always the same. It gets you. Great reaction.
I love to watch reactions to Pavarotti, yours was priceless. The song finished and you quietly rewind the video, yeah it’s that powerful. Try listening to it without headphones and let all that greatness take over the energy in your room. Congratulations
For those who wish to know what the aria is about: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nessun_dorma. That high note sung near the end of a 3-hour opera is a tremendous risk for the singer and a real thrill for the audience. That is partly what makes opera so enthralling. There are two schools of thought about going to see a play, performer, or opera. One is to find out the gist of the plot and the main characters before you go so you aren't completely in a fog throughout. Another is to just go in cold and experience it, and then find out afterwards what it was about. I guess either way is fine. When I was a HS art teacher decades ago, I told the kids, yes, they could listen to music in art class, but I, being the teacher, would decide what was played (my room, my decision!) LOL. One day I played Pavarotti and one girl identified the singer and said her Dad played opera quite a bit. I like to think that I at least exposed HS students in the wilds of NY state to one of the greatest opera singers who ever lived. On other days, I'd say, "Okay, yea, we can listen to The Eagles." Ha, ha. I thought it was neat when my kids growing into teens in the 1990s were suddenly into the Beatles and my daughter Johnny Cash. One day in the car Johnny came on the radio with Ring of Fire. I started singing along and she was so surprised I knew his music. If you are a parent play a good variety of music for your kids. From opera to Raffi to Gordon Lightfoot to Linda Ronstadt -- whatever your faves are, play them and expose them to other music too. You find good stuff like Nessun Dorma and it can start a whole new life interest.
That's how one of the best operatic tenors who ever lived sounds like. :) He also occasionally sang Italian songs of the past, like this one: Go back to Sorrento, land of love, Luciano Pavarotti. Torna a Surriento. London 1982. - RU-vid
There was a time 80 Years or so when music was taught(yes in school,along with prayer)the way of true music that blessed and calmed the soul of all who heard it.
Essere italiano è una grande fortuna , nasciamo circondati di meraviglie . Musica ,arte, architettura, paesaggi e città meravigliose . Una fiaba in terra ,anche con i suoi lupi cattivi ! Ma ne vale la pena . Grazie Maestro Luciano !
I’ve just stumbled across your channel and am following immediately. Every time I listen to him sing this I am in tears because it’s so beautiful. The waves of emotion that hit you when he reaches that top note are intense right? Enjoy your Pavarotti journey.
It amazes me that so many people have no idea what the words are but the emotion is universal. Almost everyone who listens to this performance is affected the exact same way; left speechless but with tears. So desperate with yearning and loss yet somehow some hope.
The thing about this man's reaction to this incredible performance -- and incredible is too weak a word for what it is -- is that it proves that music is a force of energy which can be felt viseraclly by evey part of our being. It is after all vibrational wave energy which physical beings respond to viserally. Such sensory reactions naturally affect our inner self -- our mind, heart, body generating thoughts and feelings that can be quite powerful and cause us to be emotionally overcome. As this man was, most people who are able to really listen to new musical forms without prejudice will be uncontrollably moved to tears because the energy contained in a piece of music of this level of perfection goes right to the human core. And after all, isn't that why we love music and listen to it to begin with -- to have just such an experience?
always love it when people pause it after the first time he revs the engine with that look of wonder, laughing to myself knowing whats coming when he hits full horsepower later on.
