if this was any more lovely, we would all evaporate into clouds of joy

[Danifuken]

I've played this piece several times, and I've no words to describe my feelings. This music goes beyond from the concept of beauty, this music is life itself.

I swear I've heard this on some movie! From 5:20 on reminds me of something that I can't think of! I heard this on WDAV 89.9 the other day and I can't remember what movie I'm thinking of. Or maybe it's a different song but sounds similar. I'm thinking in the beginning credits to something...anyone know what I'm talking about?

Ravel caught something here and I do not mean cold...

[Mutthiaz]

i am delighted by the cluster of notes, definitely a sound I am not used to...what a beautiful piece!!!

[livebyaltruism]

When I listen to this I am overwhelmed with sentiments of loveliness and joy. I feel compassion for all living things, and want that all sentient beings feel the love radiating from my aura. It is as if a blanket of ethereal bliss is wrapped around me by an angel and I am instantly transported to an enchanted adolescence in which we all live amongst the tree tops of a magical forest, and we ride dragons, and phoenixes through out the starlit night sky... As if we were playing on constellations!

I don't know the piece so you fooled me!!! I hate people that get Sooooo dam over critical! The performance was amazing... The harp player was conducting and that was cool! She is very beautiful also... Soo is the violin girl! Where was this performed and who are the players??? A chamber group asked me to play this piece with a conductor and I don't know how I feel... It's chamber music... Ps I play clarinet

[PhilPhilUSA]

Glorious, Enchanted!

[SuperStephen1959]

This is so beautiful. I have recently found out I have to play this music for Orchestra. The Harp Part! This will be amazing to play!

Whenever I want to listen to Ravel's 'Intro' I return to this post. The performance and acoustics are great. Perfect for Ravel.
