Hearing the melodious harp at the start and the violins are so sweet and so full of detail and nostalgia offering a very welcoming score with full impetus to detail and to discovery.

not one of my favorite performances

however the piece itself one of the most despairing and beautiful pieces of all time, imo

you can actually hear the sorrow of forbidden love

Am I the only sitting here with goosebumps? This is beyond perfection.

[TheNewFlutist]

This is absolutely lovely.

I'm kind of ashamed to say that the reason why I love classical music is because when I was little I used to watch the barbie movies and fell in love with the music, but I guess it's a good thing because it brought me here.

What year is this, and who's the concertmaster (for the violin solo)?

@schemes16 Not forbidden love. Unrequited love.
