  • One wonderful and stupefying fact is, this music which is so exciting and stirs the blood, was written about 225 years ago and has not lost its relevance or importance. Mozart was truly touched by God.

    Take that, Lady Gaga.

  • Die Zauberflute, I watch it every day...

  • I could barely make it through the overture. Sir Colin needed to step up the tempo and lighten the whole score. It was like a 747 jet try to float in the sky like a kite.

  • It scared me to death when that lady started talking... I was just listening to the audio. They should really warn a person about that.

  • What a beautiful music!

    

  • v for vendetta <3

  • We're playing this song, the real version, in my high school orchestra. I have the 1st bassoon part and it's killing me! Mainly just the solo stuffs. I've only been playing bassoon for 2 years and they shlump Mozart at me. I do love the music, but it makes my brain hurt. And the bassoons in this piece have such amazing sound, great tone quality. 

  • sin duda la pieza más excepcional que se haya compuesto jamás. Mozart sobresale sobre los demás compositores con nota. Pienso que cuando compuso esta maravilla el tiempo se paró y la creación en estado puro se hizo.

  • @raleighsquare i was just thinking that. we listen to this shit about sex, drugs, and alcohol and, don't get me wrong i listen to some of it too so i'm not judging, but if it was TRUE music it would hang around for decades and it won't. it'll only be there until LMFAO comes out with another party song and Miley Cyrus comes out with something she probably didn't write but it hits #1 anyways. it's crazy the shit people call music now.

  • Esta es la mejor versión en youtube; el tiempo es excelente, bien pausado. Los otros directores "van corriendo". ¡Cómo es posible que entre una y otra versión existan 3 ó 4 minutos de diferencia? ¡No puede ser tanta variación!
