Mysterious Mountain (Andante Con Moto) - Alan Hovhaness

[tommartinbass]

I wish the tempo at the beginning wasn't so fast - it looses a lot of the Mystery without sacrificing the grandeur at a slower speed. I remember participating on a performance with Stokowski in 1959 and I thought he got it just right.

Emotions are a gift from GOD

[tgrman1]

Yes, I love this music too. I bought this CD many years ago. But it doesn't mean ther is a "god". It evoks the emotions, yes. Emotions are not god. You can't make something exist by just saying it exsits.  Sorry.

Wonderful!

I wonder how someone could listen to this, like it, and not believe in something beyond this life. Surely there is more.

[funkfanzzify]

@2standard listening to this, I felt so

[ken38urb]

A most metaphorical divertimento; Alan captures and sustains the paradigm of sound that mystifies and is reminiscent of a tropical island volcanic lost and enigmatic place Love it!
