It's impossible to listen to this and not try to sing it.

Mozart was a genius.

@Ardenwolfe This is easily one of the most powerful pieces of music I have ever heard. I'm conducting the orchestra, I'm not trying to sing it. Me trying to sing it... it would be a crime against humanity ;-). FSM, I love this piece of music.

I heard this in the opera house. I had a 'Flow' moment. I was one with the music (I don't say that lightly, I can only recall 3 or 4 times it has ever happened to me). It felt as if Mozart himself was talking to me. You simply cannot buy that experience for money.

@Drbolla345 Uh, try high notes. not high "screeches" listen to Florence Foster Jenkins for screeches. The coloratura supposed to be laughing.

@fishgul69 Thanks I'm quite proud of myself as well, but I'm just saying if you wanted to tell him that you could have easily said it in a nicer way. I wasn't saying what you stated was wrong.. I'm saying you could have told him in a more civilized way instead of being a total barbarian about it.

@JanissarialGuard that made me LOL!

[fishgul69]

@pinksadi13 you know, you're right. so I'll be stern with you: I know what/how ignorant people view young Blacks in this country because I am one. his comment was ignorant because it said, "even though I'm Black, I like this music" not "I just like this music because I can". oh and congrats on being "partial black", I'm sure you're the one to put me in my place, but that doesn't change the way I feel about what I said or how I said it. mmkay?

I just had a thought. The scene where Gothel confronts Rapunzel over Flynn in Tangled is suspiciously similar to this iconic scene.

Pour moi l'une des meilleures Reine de la Nuit que j'ai entendu
